I watched the original (then known simply as “Star Wars”, but now rebranded as “Episode IV”) at the cinema in 1977 and have been an avid fan ever since. Yes, it’s twee and glib and predictable, but it’s great fun.
Sci-fi has never really been my thing but I understand that tomorrow is ‘Revenge of the Fifth’
I’ve never seen the originals but I did see a couple of the second (to be released) trilogy and more recently Episode VII which was as you say good clean fun.
