OG starwars is genre redefining, space operas before were certifiable schlock but it mainstreamed & ever since the genre expects people to take it seriously. i suppose it is similar to the MCU in that regard, mainstreaming a domain of comics.
as far as artistic merit goes yeah its only the best scored & produced film in the genre ever that made everyone collectively lose their damn minds. things like that don't happen on accident man, saying the story is simple & it hams WW2 footage is mistaking intention for incompetence. its a tight film that relies on audience familiarity with the basics under all the techno-spiritual babble and stupid names.
It makes me sad to think there are young people, otherwise well behaved, who would rather say they hate the og star wars dogfights than admit the last Jedi was mostly a dud. How could you put down the death star run? Hanging my head.
If Star Wars had given James Cameron a production credit, not a single fucking Chapo would say a bad word about it on pain of Will whooping their asses.
The Originals are gorgeous. The Prequels are pretty good. Rogue One is breathtaking. Even the Sequels look nice.
The originals are schlock by today's standards, but what they were competing against when they came out was unadulterated trash.
You can see the actors fighting their hardest against Lucas' directorship to make the prequels good. The prequels are not good. The main redemption of the prequels is the glut of CGI developments that came about as a result.
Rogue One is great. Solo is not great and probably killed other independent films in the setting.

The sequels are just bad.
