Old enough to have perspective.

>>Unfortunately for the Star Wars saga, that first film seems to have aged much better than Lucas' ability to cast and direct his vision.<<

1) He never had such ability to begin with. Take a look at his "illustrious" directing attempts other than star wars. Did you also happen to notice that Empire and ROTJ (the #1 and #2 films regarded by fans) are not directed by him?

2) The first films were panned by critics during their original theatrical release. Yes they've aged well. What makes you think these new 3 won't? Time will answer that question.

>>How old are you anyway, Tom?<<

I didn't check the release date of the original star wars before I posted my response. I was >1 year old when the first movie was released in 1977. I only saw the original on home video formats while the other "first 2" I saw in theatres after nagging my parents incessantly.

>>but when I go to see an overhyped mega-million dollar feature <<

And who created this hype? Who said it was going to the greatest thing in the world? Probably the same people who waited in line for 12 hours then left in the middle of the showing.

>>feature I do expect to be entertained without wincing at corny cliche` dialogue and bad acting. Note: If I wanted that, I would stick strictly with the serials of the 30's and 40's!<<

Hello!? What do you think Lucas has admitted to emulating time and time again? Why is this suprisingly offensive now? If you work off of preconcieved notions, you may be attempting to interact with something that isn't there (insert CG blue screen quip here).
