[Intrepid Homoludens]

My favourite Star Wars movie will always be the very, very first one. That is, um......Episode IV (that right?). Not because I had fond childhood memories of it (I am not, nor every was, a Star Wars whore), but because it was an awesome romp. The writing was spot on, the humour, how the scenes played out....everything. The whole thing was cheesy and wonderfully absurd. In terms of quality, I think the true successor of that movie was Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

As for what those writers say about Star Wars today, I think it's partly petty snobbery, partly petty arbitration, and partly truthfulness.
