Among the hundreds of space operas and other work dumbed down and pompified (THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND BETTER ANTECEDANTS) for the film. Sometimes pretty to look at, but then the antiamusing robots arrive again.
I was a fan of Star Wars as a kid, and still have a certain fondness for it, but at a certain point I realized that George Lucas basically took bits and pieces of other works and pasted them together.

Didn't like the film the first time I saw it, and really loathed CP3O as a device and hoorarious comic infliction.
