I didn't really like Star Wars.
That said, i loved The Empire Strikes back, and enjoyed quite a bit (but less) The Return of the Jedi.
Star Wars always felt like... thin soup. You see that there's a nice flavour to it, but it lacks strenght, body. He gets the recipe right in the following movies.
But i noticed a funny trend, something i shudder to think what it would be like if it kept going: in the 1st movie, the climatic battle has only 1 location, the trenches of the Death Star. In the 2nd movie, the climatic battle is split in 2 locations: Luke vs Vader and the battle to rescue Han from Bobba Fett. In the 3rd movie, the climatic battle is split in 3 locations: Luke vs Vader & Palpatine, the Rebel fleet vs the Imperial fleet and the battle to take over the shield generator on Endor.
In the first movie it felt like too little, in the third it felt like my attention had to be stretched a tiny little bit, and only in the second the balance felt just right. What would happen if he had been there for the 4th movie? The climatic battle split in 4? HAHAHA

just kidding. Who would do that?
About Indy3... i loved the prologue from the Director's Cut. It felt a lot more in tune with the pulpy humor of the saga, better than the grittier prologue that Spielberg set up (probably he was already planning the Schindler's List, i bet). Plus you get to know why Indy hates snakes! I feel that the problem is that most of the fans who loved the first movie were kids when they watched it, and by the time of Indy3 they had grown into emo teenagers and everything had to be super-serious and dark and not-childish.
