> 1.) Violence as computer enhanced spectacle.

Was there CGI in Star Wars, I could have sworn that is was all model,
camera tricks celluloid pastes maybe the light sabers?.

> 2.) Obsession with the "blockbuster"

The term "blockbuster" and the obsession therein predates Star Wars by at
least 50 years, came big in WW II

> 3.) Poor scripts, written to be fully understood by 10 year olds.

 ... and this is a bad thing to target a large audience?

> 4.) Shallow characters that undergo no important development.

brought a tear to my eye anyways ;)
