A movie with a lack of understanding

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 1999)

I, as star wars fan loved this movie. It had everything that I had hoped for, and a little extra - It had great special effects, a OK story line, and that's what I was looking for. George Lucas does extremely well at doing these things. He just wants to tell a story and add something more to it [the sgi]. The original Star Wars movies did this extremely well, and so did Episode One. The original movies were, as i hate to admit it, B-Movies, and so was this one. My Question here is, why does Episode four, five, and six get all the great reviews and Episode one, get bad reviews, when essentially they are the same type of film.
