And as the first glance of Vader it was done perfectly with him entering the ship, picking up a guy with one hand and shaking him to death and even without poor acting.The death star scenes were good directed with great acting of Leia, Luke and Han screaming at each other in the trash compactor.
The first glimpse to the dark side couldn't have been better with the 'Force' choke, that part was absolutely genius.The plot and climax were pretty original and good too.
Of course a lot was spoiled by the other movies with suddenly focusing on the flashier aspects of the SW universe like the duels but as ANH is the most 'star wars' as in battle in space as main focus it is actually a very good script. (although the rough draft was the best)
And especially the acting is good in that movie.. The characters portrayed by the actors seemed really natural in the SW galaxy.. Something wich was hardly the case in the PT.
But I think it's wrong to compare ANH with the prequels as the prequels mainly have the constant special effects going for them.But as for AotC.. That movies whole plot is just a little off.. And caring about characters never really held me busy with boring people like Obi Wan.
I only watch it because it looks nice and is Star Wars.
I agree with everything you said.
but in the 70's everything about ANH was flashy, it was amazing. today its not flashy at all and in comparison to the other SW movies its boring. i already said that the dialogue between han and leia in ANH is possibly the best written in the whole saga, it makes me laugh every time.
I'm not saying that ANH is a bad movie, if taken for simply artistic and cinematic value its probably the best (next to ESB) maybe even better. Its a great movie, no doubt about it.
but after getting used to the other 5 movies and the action of them ANH seems boring and slow.
this is my opinion obviously, but im not saying in any way that ANH is bad, its genius, if it hadn't been then we wouldn't have had SW movies being made for the past 30 years (with a 20 year gap) lol

at any rate your refusing to even listen to what I have to say means i will give equal respect to what you have to say. I dont have time to listen to noobs who are so single minded that they refuse to even read what other people have to say.
I enjoy the dramatic irony here 🤣

Rushed as in GL didn't think and take his time when he made it. He even said that! I think.
It was rushed, he had time but he didn't use it apperantly.
He only had some vague idea's for the history of the people.
One day he just decided to make TPM, even during shooting he still had Padme as Obi Wans wife.
If he had taken the time to write the whole overall storyline of the PT it would have been much different because now it is painfully clear that a lot of scenes were unnecessary to the whole PT plot.
