Star Wars became what it is because it was a unique space fantasy opera, in the beginning of high budget cinema. The world was unique, but not because it was particularly fleshed out or even good, but because there was nothing like that at the time.
The main reason it got popular is because it was first, and because main in a black mask with funny voice did pew-pew laser sword thingy.
Nothing wrong with that, but don’t pretend it ever was some kind of high art that got cheapened over the years, it was always what it is.
Star Wars character dialogue has been shit, because Lucas can’t write good dialogue. But he’s great at creating worlds and adventures in those worlds.
Star Wars became what it is because of that. The sequel trilogy, however, has neither.
