don't believe the hype

i've never really understood the reverence of 'star wars'.
bad dialogue, ridiculous coincidences, special effects as a crutch, overrated villain...
essentially a bad, rather blatant rip-off of frank herbert's dune

nevertheless slate's Aidan Wasley ascribes 'art film' status on lucas' space opera series. wasley attempts to rehabilitate the clunky narrative structure, the overreliance on gimmickry.

he even audaciously attempts to justify jar jar binks. nothing if not ambitious.
