I love Star Wars and enjoy the new movies as much as the old. I think a lot of times our minds are clouded by nostalgia and expectations. All three of the original trilogy movies were filled with plot holes, had stupid asides, bad acting, character diversions (a trash compactor with a swamp monster? seriously?), had repetitive plots (2 Death Stars in 3 movies??). We forgive that because there was nothing else like it, it was entirely new, and there weren't 40 years worth of stories, expanded universe, details ad nauseam, that make you EXPECT a Star Wars movie to be perfect. But, like Star Wars itself, the perfection of the Star Wars movie form is a myth, so we are let down by all of the new movies.
