It’s literally the most childish of the first trilogy by far

      A New Hope was also good, and the main reason is the rest of the auteurs hated Lucas's original cut, and his wife (and editor) essentially made a decent movie out of the shots they had. Apparently one of the biggest flaws was that he opened the movie with just too much exposition (which became the opening scroll) including weird political details the audience didn't need to know, which just sounds like the phantom menace to me.

      Even the fucking shootouts were better. It combined the expressionist angle fuckery with retrofuturist architecture to make a battle scene that is so beautiful it excites me. I'm not sure if I like star wars, or if I like that EV:ESB has an extended universe.
