Ah, an optimist. *smack*



No, this is why I really only view the original trilogy as "the saga"...a solid beginning, amazing middle and satisfying end. That, to me, is the "Skywalker saga"...a naive farmboy, a struggling apprentice and a noble knight, who, along the way, saves his friends, defeats evil and redeems his father. Period, the end.

Lucas tried to reposition it all as "Vader's story", but that was only because he was making the prequels. I never bought into that, big picture (and the writing, casting, acting, visuals, etc. of those things certainly didn't help). To me, it was/is Luke's story. And it was told, across three really good movies that still hold up, and move me, to this day.

Everything since 1983, IMO, has just been an unasked-for, unnecessary misfire. I've seen them all, out of "duty", for lack of a better word, but I've not truly enjoyed a Star Wars movie, completely and fully without a dozen caveats or "yeah, but...", since ROTJ.
