Also one reason that many people who watch Star Wars this late don't enjoy it because they think that the story is too bland and repetitive and many aspects have been covered in many movies, what they fail to realize is that it was this movie (or any other old movie) that gave rise to ideas modern movies are based upon...
That's a valid observation. It holds true for many classical movies as a matter of fact.
I recall being underwhelmed after watching Se7en because I felt a similar plot and ending had been done so many time over the years. Little did I know that movie was the first one of its kind. Same with "(F)Lawrence of Arabia", "The Bridge on the River Kwai" and a host of other films.
But the acting was generally poor in Star Wars. One of the reasons I don't put it beside the other classics in my list.
Thats why I am not watching this series as I know I will turn out disappointed.
