No one thinks that. Clearly Empire is.
But a New Hope is pretty darn good.
Agreed. I really don't think it gets its just due as a legitimately great film and story.
Think about it -- it was a sci fi film that became a cultural phenomenon before being into sci fi was cool. Plus, in terms of the story itself, it plops you right in the middle of a universe, plot, and entire realm with no backstory or context and the viewing audience wasn't hindered by it at all.

Except for the opening screen crawl, which gave the audience what they needed to know.
Which, from what I read years ago, is why Lucas didn't do the opening credits like most movies did. He felt the audience would be less likely to read the screen crawl after watching words for 3+ minutes.
He copied the technique from the old movie serials from the 30's-40's.
