The villain in the last three movies is hard for me to take seriously because he seems to have stepped out of an episode of Doctor Who.

I appreciate the last three movies though for outdoing themselves in scale as did early space operas such as Skylark of Space.

I see Star Wars as a project that suffered because it went on for way too long; there were major changes in the external culture inside of and between the last two trilogies that make them hard to watch together.
