The praise for Star Wars comes from special effects. See, I respect Lucas for his ideas of special effects. He's like an engineer, in a sense of building the things that turn a good scene into a great scene. Maybe it was him that made the horse head possible, or the gun shots at the end in post production? It's not like he wrote the story, did the casting, scene blocking, cinematography or screenwriting.
This is obvious in the prequels. Not only are all of these things wrong, the second is him trying to pander to his critics and the third is him giving up and tying to tie it back to the original. Anakin gets tricked by the dark side, Luke and Leia are born, Obi-wan and Yoda are back to their planets, the death star is getting built and everyone we don't like dies.
