The original trilogy was truly amazing
I'm going to disagree here, and I'm a huge Star Wars fan. The original trilogy really wasn't amazing. The story was contrived and a copy of pretty much every samurai and western story in existence at the time. The acting was bearable but not phenomenal. The only truly good things about it, for the time, was the cinematography and the special effects.
Again, the original trilogy shaped my hobbies and nerd-dom and I'm a millennial... but all in all it they were better then average but not phenomenal movies.
This is why I believe you feel this way. It's true that it copied those things you mentioned, etc, but at the time it was a totally new spin on them. That alone made it awesome. Seeing it 10+ years after it was released, the technology had grown so much in that timeframe, there's not chance you could see it but through different colored glasses of your own youth.
Oh no, I admit that ILM did some phenomenal work on the movies... and that there was spectacle to it at the time. I love Star Wars... but honestly, until Disney destroyed the rest of it, the movies were the worst part.
The worst part? So what was the best?
The books were definitely the best part.

I've been binging Letterkenney since we found somewhere to stream it that isn't Hulu.

I've heard good things about that. The Hulu ads for it are so bad that it made me avoid it.

I've been enjoying it, it's pretty dry humor and it takes a few minutes to dial in on their accents (they talk fast).

Now there is a John Wick marathon on. Lots of action, but terrible writing.
