I sincerely wish I could care as much about these movies as I did when I was a kid and the first ones came out - it was a lot of fun. I hope kids today are as excited about Star Wars as we were back then.
Much of the fun of the original Star Wars film was the retro nature of the original series (particularly that first film). It brought back the style of cliffhanger serials of the 40's, as did Raiders of the Lost Ark. The 70's had been a decade of "serious, thought provoking" films, and along comes a Saturday matinee-styled movie that brought out the kid in everyone. Now that Star Wars is so prevalent, it seems to have lost its sense of fun. For me, anyway.
