Oh yeah, sure.
And I guess the "I hate sand" dialogue is great, too, and it requires interpretation?
It's a freaking movie with space wizards, and the quote "Only a Master of evil! Darth!".
Super deep. Super serious. Great writing right there. Not something that you would expect from an episode of He-Man, no sir!
Apples and oranges, man. Never heard a single person complain about either of the lines you mentioned.
Let me think some good lines off the top of my head from JUST ANH (funny, serious, whatever)..
The Force will be with you.. always.
The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.
That's no moon.. it's a space station.
Watch your mouth kid or you're going to find yourself floating home.
We seem to be made to suffer.
Curse my metal body it wasn't fast enough!
Will someone get this walking carpet out of my way?/No reward is worth this..
All of Han's improv with the intercom is hilarious
This film has an incredible amount of creativity, wonky/goofiness, chemistry between cast, excellent/relevant mythology/metaphorical writing (as simple as it is).. and just a ton of personality. It's hard for me to believe someone could think the writing is just bad, from an objective standpoint, but opinions, right?
And lol, here comes the "space wizards" argument. Because something that takes place in a fantasy sci-fi setting can't be at least taken a little seriously, right? They're just kids movies and they have laser swords. And people move things with a special force, how dumb is that? How dare us think there might be something more to it?
I mean.. if these things keep you from enjoying the deeper mythological/metaphorical power of SW, these types of films probably aren't really for you, because the OT was written so people could appreciate those things and how lots of the moments on screen are relatable, feel good moments that make us think about them after we're done watching. That's the magic of the films, and that's fine if you're not feeling it but this whole "it's all fake and stupid and unbelievable!" argument is almost as silly and tired as the "GL raped my childhood" BS.
But like I said, if you just find enjoyment on a surface level, sure, I can see how you'd enjoy the PT too because that's what those films are.. surface entertainment without the deeper and more introspective achievements of EP4-6.
If you don't feel the "magic" so many other people connect with, that's cool, but there's a reason why people sometimes take them more seriously than you.. because that magic works for them. And that's understandable.
I think the Yoda/X-Wing scene is the best cinematic moment ever, for what it achieves visually and metaphorically with the audience (considering how simplistic it is). You might just see a little green man lifting a toy plane. And that's fine, but you're missing out on a whole lot.
