The original Star Wars movies were probably really good and genre defining in the late 70s, but they're just boring and campy now.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
Old things used to be good, now they're not so good if you compare them with the new things.
Same with original Star Trek. I love Trek, but that shit is unwatchable. I read the novels to get the context to better enjoy TNG and after, I can't hand the godawful sound effects and William Shatner's smug mug. How are there so many episodes based around how "attractive" that man is?!
I accept this. I saw these when they premiered- like lining up outside the theatre and everyone cheering, etc. That was in middle school and high school and it was a true experience at the time. So, I’ll always have a soft spot for them, but you’re basically correct.
