I don't think Lucas ruined Star Wars at all.

Rather, I think that everyone's expectation of the newer movies was set far far too high compared with the original epic trilogy. Go back and actually watch episodes 4-6, and you'll see one thing: They actually suck. However, that is immediately negated due to the fact it was released in the 70's (and obviously the "CGI" in it was fantastic for the time) and that Harrison Ford was in it. Mark Hamill was a terribly horrid actor 90% of the time - the only times he was a good actor was when he wasn't struggling to awkward up his lines. Again, this is negated due to the sheer fact of nostalgia.

Anyways, compared to the sheer epic-ness of the trilogy, people were expecting Episodes 1, 2 and 3 (especially 1) to literally give them a handjob while they watched it, because it was nearly almost 30 years since it started, so it has to have been 30 times better then!


And don't even bring up the Jar Jar Binks thing, without realizing Wookies, C3-PO or the Ewoks.
