if this is aimed at me, i said it was flawed as in it has flaws yet is still seen as great(which i clarified in the other thread).
It was a starting point, this thread isn't though. It was a good question to ask. You know, what does a flaw do to a film. Does it deaden all impact. What kind of "flaws," are real "flaws?" How is "greatness" determined.
Though, your comparison was with Man of Steel, which is kind of crazy. To say that Man of Steel is a great film that has flaws and that Star Wars is a great film that has flaws are two very very different things. But it provides context for a different type of discussion.

i dont think it deadens ALL impact, but i think it does have a significant impact. New Hope is my least favorite out of the trilogy. It's boring and a bit "wtf" thrown around. Obi Wan's demise always felt like a very anti-climatic moment. HUGE tension and build up to a 5 second fight.
then theres the famous "hidden self destruct" button for the death star. huge cop out to let the hero instantly win without really working for it.
luke's aunt and uncle are murdered and he basically never deals with it or cares after that initial shock. more of an "aw shucks" reaction.
those are the biggest flaws in my eyes.
