...fuck I'll take the Indiana Jones flicks ANY day as a better trilogy...at first I didn't mind, because a lot of the FX were dated, and it made the films smoother on as a whole...but now it's just the work of lazy filmmaker who can't even follow the groundwork he set himself in scripts he already wrote...what a tool...
Though the worst cinematic crime Lucas comitted was in "Jedi" when ghost-Kenobi sits with Luke in the swamp and proceeds to stop the movie dead for almost ten minutes with a lengthy, boring, stagnant explanation (Show the audience, don't fucking lecture them!!!) that allowed Lucas to cover his shitty storytelling in the first (Fourth) film...I'll never, NEVER buy that he had the whole storyline mapped out from day one...I'll bet he had a loose outline and "A New Hope" was the only one fleshed out..."Hope" was NOT "Episode 4" when it came out, it was obviously a stand-alone, a Lucas has been sloppily covering his own ass ever since...
