I think there's a bigger demographic of people who just saw these movies as kids when their standards were lower and are too blinded by nostalgia to see their flaws. I remember really liking them when I was 8 years old, (especially RotS) and I'm sure I'm not the only one. These days I'm much more critical of course, but some part of me can't help but admire the things this very flawed trilogy got right.
I'm not going to defend the very racially coded aliens though. That shit's cringe as fuck.
RotS is truly good unless lone delivrty is everything to you
I saw the movies when I was a child. I remember pod racing, cool red guy with horns and lightsabers. Shit was cool, I liked it.
Now I haven't seen the movies since then and I can't bring myself to. Tried to watch the new Disney ones and they were just boring as fuck.
I would agree with your theory about different expectations.
I recently watched Game of Thrones and I was confused about all the hate I've remember when the show aired.
I wathced the show for the first time and didn't have all the same expectations as someone who was hyped for it when it aired. And I just liked it, yes the end felt rushed, but it's nothing to riot about. It wasn't bad and I was in the similar boat with this show as with Star Wars.
