Sadly untrue, while the Lucas dialogue was dire it’s become some kind of idée fixe that they can’t change now. There was some terrible acting as well, perhaps because there was no way to act those lines.
The original trilogy (especially A New Hope) was Lucas’ homage to the films he watched as a child (sci-fi, westerns, rip-roaring adventures), the ridiculous scripts and cliche ridden dialogue were part of the fun.
The rest of them are just shit films.
I’ll go at some point because my children want to see it but honestly I think Star Wars is awful. I would like to choose the avoid option.
I was 13 or something and too old when the original movie came out and thought it sucked. By the time the Jedi were returning and flying through forests on hover boards with little furry creatures I was beyond done and ready to kill. How it has been stretched out in all directions for countless movies bends my mind.
My dad took me to see the first one in 77 when I was the ripe old age of 5 and we’ve watched them all since, thought they were all shite after the original 3 but it’s a tradition now and pretty sure Disney will drag them out for a few more years yet.
