The fact that people have to try to detract from the original trilogy to justify how poor the new one is, bottles my mind.
If the originals were that bad no one would be sitting here discussing them 40 years later. Obviously there was something special about those films that has us all here figuring out how new content fits into the legacy, so lets at the very least give them their due.
