    A new hope was only good to the extent that a mediocre remake of a Kurosawa film is still good. Empire was slightly downhill from that (sad ending =/= good movie). Everything after that struggles to remain watchable.

      They were simply following the classic trilogy arc:

      1. Plucky heroes score on the big baddies against overwhelming odds.

      2. Baddies hand our heroes their ass on a platter. Hope is all but gone.

      3. Heroes come back bigger and tougher, win the whole game by the end.
