Yeah that's what I figured. But generally I think that, say, Kurosawa films, while arguably even more dated in many regards, still are more interesting. Like, I've watched the Hidden Fortress twice and I would watch it again, but not really ANH. I would watch ESB again but I was also kinda disappointed because it gets hyped up as something much more than it was to me. But of course that's just my opinion and I'm sure other people may have had much different experiences.
Generally I think that when you look back at these movies which are dated for one or the other reason, it often benefits movies which were more "intrinsically" interesting beyond them just being interesting by virtue of being novel for a certain audience.
