Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. The Star Wars series strikes a deep chord that borders on the surreal and also touches the most elemental of human truths. This is such a rare phenomenon that it becomes easy to make the absolute demand that every succeeding story meet the same high-performance standards as preceding movies. Star Wars movies engrave themselves with their own peculiar mark of excellence that pushes them far above the epic and classic status.
