8/10
I know this is 3 movies, but watched from beginning to end it feels like the same movie, it's dramatically different from the later prequels...
overall the cinematography, aesthetics, acting are just great. I wonder if there were any alien bar scenes that were as entertaining in previous sci-fi. Even though the whole thing feels really fun to watch, i overall think the plot is way under-developed. Why are the rebels rebelling, what exactly is darth vader trying to accomplish? I mean, i guess it has some wierd socio-political element to it, the captains in vaders fleet had british accents, "the empire" have a resemblence to nazis or something, "the force" is wierd occult knowledge...idk, i get the feeling this is a trick to keep you wanting more.
It's interesting watching this as an adult, where's i probably watched it 5 times as a child without really understanding what they were talking about throughout the whole series. Anything less than an 8 in my mind is under-rated! My analysis of plot vs. aethetics pretty much mirrors my take on american horror story, feels contrived but everything else makes up for it.
I feel like i just started some embarrassing drama...
