I think the first three were classics, some of the best SF of all time. The new installments are dead on their feet. There are no real suprises, no real depth of character. Hell, there are hardly any real actors or sets.
I'm speaking as a fan here. I WANT them to be good; they just don't have any spirit.

For every so called "fan" who dislikes what Lucas has done with the prequels I can guarantee you there are 100 fans who love it. The trouble is that the uncontented ones are more outspoken than the appreciative and cause a ruckus to which too many people listen to.
One thing I don't understand Star Wars fans saying is "there are no surprises"... hmmm, now let me think... 25 years have passed since Star Wars came out, during that time Lucas has told people about what happens in the prequels... fans learn of this information... and they remember it... they go see the movie and think "Hey! I did already know dat!" Big surprise.
Star Wars is here to stay and no matter how many people say it sucks they will always be outnumbered by those who love it.
