there's more. but basically it was lightning in a bottle. can't possibly be repeated.

Everything, I loved it. George Lucas was definitely on a role from American Graffiti to The Empire Strikes Back

Pottery, just pottery.

Episode 1s biggest flaw is straying so far from the Star Wars formula

Storm troopers, tie fighters, the death star and light sabers all look cool. Han, Darth Vader, R2-D2, and Chewbacca are cool characters. The story is easy to follow. And of course there's Sheev.

Lucas was insane to begin with. Nothing that worked in the original movies is to be credited to him. As soon as he got more free room he added ewoks and that fucking overly long jabba sequence in VI

bored nerds got excited
