For all the faults there's nothing wrong with the way the films are made. Sure the dialogue at times can be a bit clunky but i don't see a problem with anything else. Even The Last Jedi which i called derivative is still a very well made film.
If it's the effects you mean well i still disagree as i think the opening shot of Star Wars (The Imperial Cruiser coming into view) is one of the most iconic scenes in cinema and is a superb bit of model work. |
Well aside from the first film being rescued in editing (and ultimately cementing George Lucas decision to walk away from cinema) I was thinking more the weak narrative arcs, underwritten characters and plot contrivances that hold the films together like superglue. It's a shame when you think how a lot of 70s Hollywood cinema strove for the sort of intelligence and artistry found in European cinema and with a stroke Lucas and Spielberg went and pinched a lot of Roger Cormans showmanship and invented the summer blockbuster.
