SW IV is the greatest movie ever made.  I merely think that the man has
lost his magic touch.  Perhaps after his "two year vacation".  Everyone
burns out.  Thanks for your comment though.  We subscribe to sf-lovers
but we haven't been getting it.  Has it been coming out regularly since
the change over?  Thanks,

   SFL has been coming out quite heavily recently but I wouldn't be surprised
if the sub lists got messed up.
   I don't think RotJ is all that great either; there are too many things that
gave me that "hey, wait a minute" feeling---badly done effects (not poorly
conceived, most of the time, but poorly done (out of focus, bad scale,
funny-looking perspective)), bad pacing, and a final scene that looks more and
more like bad amateur theatricals every time I see it. But I don't think
Spielberg can grow into the shoes Lucas may have given up---if only  because
he takes himself too seriously.
