Star Wars is very very over rated!
No not true. You can't compare Star Trek and Star Wars. They are different. Star Wars is a space age version of deep mythologies in the human race. George Lucas was a student of mythology and Joseph Campbell.
Star Wars is not overrated to the kids who grew up with it, like me. To us, it was like magic in our lives, not just a good story or legend. You can't understand if you didn't grow up with it.
Today's movies are cheap in comparison. When a blockbuster movie is made, it comes out on DVD after a few months. But Star Wars was in theaters for years before it was released on VHS. When it was, the VHS version sold for $70 each! Can you believe that? It was like gold. I wanted it more than anything. No movie today is like that.
Watch this History Channel documentary about the Star Wars legacy that explains this. You will gain a deeper appreciation of Star Wars after you see this.
