Disagree. Good art is timeless.
It’s like you haven’t even seen Star Wars.

In general, Star Wars is one of the best examples of a timeless film.
I think the word “dated” has merits in criticism though it usually amounts to a simple nitpick.

You could just consider Luke is a skater or a punk or something then it’s not even dated.*

dated
Worst word you can use to describe about just about anything artistic. The time in which something was made and the fact that the times are reflected in the thing being created is in no way a bad thing.
Probably not the best way to describe it, but some people might have something to say about 5 guys “perving” on a woman seems outdated.
I can look beyond that and appreciate the film, but then again a few might label it as dated ideas (done did it again!).

You haven’t lived until your uncle tells you how lucky you are to be able to be a perv and get away with it. So, I mean, uh, being creepy isn’t really outdated as far as I can tell, in my experience it’s more truthful to the reality I find myself surrounded by.

Ok.
In 50 years, do you think a Star Wars audience is going to be able to tell a 1970s haircut apart from a 1990s one? I don’t think so. I think these things are inconsequential unless they detract from the film, which of course it doesn’t. Luke’s hair doesn’t call attention to itself; it’s just there.
Style, whether it be costume design, or lighting, etc. has no impact on whether a film gets dated or looks timeless or not. Myopic creative vision does. When elements like the plot or the effects of the film render it only pertinent in its contemporary era, then a film will become dated when that era passes and subsequent generations find no use for watching it.

I mean, I can tell the difference between 40s and 50s haircuts and styles, so I don’t know what you’re on to there. Star Wars is very much a 70s film telling a story nearly as old as time itself in a new way, but that’s part of why we love it.

I think a lot of things fall under the umbrella of “dated.” The question is to what degree it matters. Some of the hair styles in Star Wars are dated but that ultimately doesn’t really affect much and certainly doesn’t make the film as a whole any less timeless.
Something like a “dated” mindset towards perversion could be a bit more of an issue.
I actually just watched The Quiet Man for the first time, and a lot of it is a product of its time and a product of the time it’s set in - the characters in general have a lot of different attitudes than we do currently and that’s okay because that’s the time it’s depicting. But a few moments are more definitely “dated.” In particular, the scene in which John Wayne forcibly and carelessly drags Maureen O’Hara for miles is played in the films for laughs and we aren’t supposed to think any less of Wayne’s character for it. But, watching it now, it’s just pretty fucked up, honestly and not very funny or endearing in the least bit.

During our roadtrip through Ireland, we stopped at the Quiet Man bridge, where the scene was shot. It was a lovely location, and after that I made a point to watch the film. I didn’t care for it. It’s too much a film of its time to resonate with a filthy millennial like me.
On the other hand…
Kong: Skull Island
A delightful monster fest. As my girlfriend said: ‘It was everything I expected it to be - and a little bit more’.

Man vs Snake (2016)
I enjoy these docs about extreme arcade game players. Similar to King of Kong and Chasing Ghosts. It takes a certain kind of person to play a game for 40 hours straight, especially a game that looks as mind-numbing as Nibbler. I know I could never do it no matter how hard I tried.

Dated mindsets can sometimes be interesting, but a lot of times there are dated expectations of what the audience will understand that can make it difficult to relate to, or, for example, your John Wayne example of what the audience is expected to be amused by.

I’ll be seeing Beauty and the Beast tomorrow night and will leave a review here. Not crazy interested but the animated feature is quite charming so I’m mildly excited. I’m probably one of the only people on earth who wasn’t a huge fan of the live action Jungle book.

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
To be honest, I prefer watching this movie to the first one, even though it isn’t as tightly plotted or consistent as that one.
