Well, the problem with that is there's just so much sheer content in all of the side stuff. ((like SO MUCH.)) l know a lot of big Star Wars fans that love that stuff and tend to claim a lot of the novels are a lot more solid than any of the film stuff.

Further, the original trilogy was incredibly groundbreaking for it time as well. Sci-fi/Science Fiction films flat out did not exist prior and it straight up created a genre known as Space Operas. Gorundbreaking has literally nothing to do with how good something is... so l really don't get the above statement. ((espically cause just if you don't like it that doesn't make the film any less of an influence on the genre as it has been. Not liking it's totally cool. Denying the fact it's influenced the genre as we know it and was one of the pioneers of film for it... is just foolhardy.))

I really meant groundbreaking to myself. I know that it had a big influence. I was just curious if most of the movies in the franchise are sub-par at best, can the movie franchise as a whole still be called amazing?

Again, it's your opinion that most of them are sub-par. To many others, most of them are great.

The franchise is amazing to some people and isn't to others. That's perfectly fine and doesn't change the intrinsic value of everyone's personal views.
