that Lucas was starting to lose his touch.
The truth is that he should have stoped with A New Hope. A New Hope was awesome, great from beginning to end, perfect. This film is not very good, it's very boring and has a rather weak plot, which leads to ROTJ and TPM having weak plots and bad stories.
I think that this movie shows what happens when sequels go bad. This one is terrible. The only reason this is even given a good rating is because Vader is so bad. Subtract Vader and the story is worse. A New Hope will be the only real Star Wars for me. The sequels and prequels are little more than jokes.
