I'm also of the belief that if Lucas could ever have let someone with actual directorial skill direct the Star Wars movies, they would have been phenomenal. Lucas is a great producer, and had a fantastic concept, but failed to follow through much of the time. Some of the dialog is so flat and painful, IMO. |
Lucas didn't direct all of them.I think Kirshner did a fine job directing The Empire Strikes Back

Exactly my point. That one happens to be my favorite. 
Revenge of the Sith was very good at points, I thought.

None of them - they're all far too geeky.

"The Matrix" is an FX-laden second class copy of a first class tv-movie
by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, "Welt am Draht" ("World on the Wire"),
that was shot some 30 years ago. Give me the Fassbinder original any
time; he knew how to create suspense and atmosphere without FX-overload.

I don't see anything "geeky" in these movies, to be honest.

I think 2 and 3 are also great. (I don't like the first one very much) But i want only to make modern movies to be compared .

A difficult choice, this is...
LOTR leads to SW, SW leads to The Matrix, The Matrix leads to...  ...suffering? 
I've chosen Star Wars. But I like them all.  |

LOTR<-SW <- the Matrix
The only thing that kills star wars is the poor acting and dialouge

To be honest, you've got a point there!!!!
I guess I like prog, but I don't really care for science fiction / fantasy as a literary (or film) genre. Indeed, one of the things I like least about prog is the tendency to use pseudo-mythological and sword and sorcery type imagery.
