At the end of the third episode (Return of the Jedi, 1983), I thought the whole series should have ended. Then came the Phantom Menace (1999, 16 years later). The story didn’t work. Same for Attack of the Clones (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005). You would have thought that then....the production folks would realize that viewers weren’t coming in the same waves as in the late 70s or early 80s.

I actually went to number 7....the Force Awakens (2015) and wasted $10 on it. The soap opera-like science fiction story is a marginal two-star story, and the only big deal is the graphics.

Yeah, I agree.

I bought the first Star Wars (now called Part 4, A New Hope) on Bluray a few weeks ago and started watching it.

Lucas ruined it with the silly superimposed CGI and the ridiculous edits (Jaba appearing to collect his dough) to horseshoe this film as an installment of a series. Frankly, it makes it hard to watch.

I would like to have a Bluray of the original as shown in theaters in 1977.
