Agree again. Explained the problems better than me. I rewatched jaws today as well and that is still as brilliant as ever and deserves its places in cinema history a masterpiece of direction etc, something i know I will not feel rewatched the star wars films. I think the highest rated when I rewatch will be empire but I highly doubt it will rate any higher than a 8.
