All 6 films are little more than eye candy and regardless of what the Star Wars fan base might think, if you take the special effects out of them, they would have absolutely no relevance today nor would they be anything remotely near as popular as they are. I realize my opinions are in the minority in relation to these films and granted I didn't see my first Star Wars film until 2005 so I didn't grow up watching these films but at the same time, like the Indiana Jones, Back To The Future and Jurassic Park films, I have really, really tried to love these films and the fact is, I just can't. There is so much better that cinema has to offer than Star Wars.
With these thoughts in mind, I present to you the first 130 movies that I can think of that are better than anything that has the Star Wars name on it. These are in no particular order and in fact are a bit random in their order. They're just ones I've come up with off the top of my head. If I list one twice, my apologies but let me know and I'm sure I'll easily be able to replace it with another one.
