Does it deaden all impact. What kind of "flaws," are real "flaws?" How is "greatness" determined.


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.

They were the only thing holding him back from joining the rebellion. If he would have returned with Obi Wan, then his uncle would have out his foot down to protect him.

After seeing them slaughtered he swore to help Obi Wan as he saw it as a way to seek revenge against the empire.
