A New Hope had a story to tell. Lucas felt he desperately needed to tell it, and it kicked off the whole franchise.

But like... I'm looking at this as objective film study, and JJ Abrams basically did make the same movie over, yet better.

Key flaws in ANH include a callousness toward death of faceless folks - which is why changing the Greedo story is so missing the point -

and it fails to emphasizse how important Leia's agency is to the story. Both of these things are MASSIVELY addressed in Rogue One.

So both the DisneyWars titles have surpassed ANH on a technical and thematic level, hence it's being ranked below two of the prequels

Attack of the CLones... I can't say I won't defend it at all, but it's a broken movie - with some very niche cinematic references.

Lucas is managing to include both digs at Bush and deep cinematic mining of John Wayne's the Searchers, without reinforcing its racism

But his direction of perfectly good actors ruins it all. Like, there's an argument that because thematics it's better than ANH.

A director can be forgiven for screwing up actors to an extent. His mismanagement of Alec Guinness ironically made his character better

but he does it abhorrently, to everyone,in Ep II, so in the end I can't let its stylistic bonuses distract from Lucas ruining a kid's career

I do, yeah. After watching Shattered Glass, I saw the seeds of a GREAT Anakin Skywalker who was intentionally suppressed

He's pretty good in most of his pre-Star Wars films. Not great but decent.
