About the thread title: I thought that OSC actually liked Star Wars. Or, the original ones:
quote:45. Star Wars
Once upon a time, George Lucas made all our childhood dreams of space come true. The writing was funny, the actors had fun, and we loved it, even though we knew spaceships don't whooosh through space and if you close your eyes during a swordfight, you lose. I, for one, still love it, even though the holes in the story are obvious now, and I've seen better performances from everybody in this film. This was George Lucas's last good movie. (OK, I'll be optimistic and say "so far.") But it created the modern non-monster genre of science fiction in a way 2001 couldn't. Everybody else stands on Lucas's shoulders, because of this film.
From here. I think it's the newer movies that most people have a problem with.
