You’re not missing out on a lot. And this is coming from a fellow who built his own lightsaber.What you have with the Star Wars movies is a strange phenomena where the universe that was created for the story is incredibly intriguing, while the story itself is pretty flat and…well, bad. They’re worth seeing, but they’re not some pinnacle of cinema. My Star Wars fanboyness stems from stories that have been written for the universe, but have yet to appear in any movies. -Those- are worth looking into.
