One thing I occasionally have to remember about SW is that great stories are still told with it, you just can't have Lucas involved. At all, preferably.
Three stand out bits of narrative for me are the two KotOR games, and Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars series. Shit, with the latter, you even have some folks taking characters & concepts & plot bits from what one could say is the nadir of the film series and making something compelling and worthwhile with them.
I don't have much to say about the novels or the comics, b/c other than Tim Zahn's initial trilogy in the early 90s, I haven't read any of them, with the exception of the "zombies on an abandoned star destroyer" of _Death Troopers_. That had its moments.

I remember going to see star wars at the Odeon on Oxford street (Manchester) when it was released, I was upset at the strangling of rebel scum man by Darth at the beginning being so young an all, but was so absolutely engrossed by it all i forgot and just wanted to be a part of it. Afterwards, we went into Debenhams, I saw a lightsabre and completely freaked out and demanded one, my parents, not having much money said we'd spent up on the cinema and I'd have to wait. This was not acceptable to a me, so i decided to throw a massive tantrum and roll about the floor crying demanding just one lightsabre. I didn't get one, i just got picked up and took home.
i guess i'm saying, the "original" star wars classic.
oh and my behaviour as a child, dud. sorry parents for embarrassing you.

The introduction to the Millenium Falcon is a pan-right that finishes its move upwards, a reverent use of camera angles. The Falcon, as the central embodiment of spirit (if Star Wars has a mytho-religious form it is this spacecraft), is framed uniquely throughout the film inside a shape 2.33:1, the projection ratio of the Panavision system. In its reverse we see both Ben and Luke pass through these background frames as if they are entering a new portal, a different state of the film. The Troopers that arrive to arrest the heroes are likewise framed within these frames (he even creates deeper, smaller frames behind them in the same ratio) they seem to shoot at the ship from a subtly crafted film-within-a-film. The Falcon's name suggests it is older than its owner and organic passengers, and its shape is unique: a saucer (a throwback to the 50's UFO cycles) with a front fork (resembling wings swept forwards) and a cockpit placed bilaterally right, the cone/tube form that began the film with Artoo and has since extruded endlessly (escape pod, restraining bolt, sabre etc.), now it combines with the saucer to form what might be labeled eternal. Lucas suggests by combining forms properly one can make a ship (shape) that has an essence, it is by no means beautiful but it is eternal. Perhaps impossible to destroy. The Empire Strikes Back might be subtitled The Search for the Millenium Falcon. The Falcon is the only ship in the Star Wars canon that is named after a being that flies.http://www.mstrmnd.com/log/1332

Really wish he had paid a little more attention to formatting/placement of the images with the txt as he did in the Shining one. It makes this a much more difficult read! Still, quite worth the effort.

A work of art, on the level of the Whitney family.
That vid reiterates that the design of the original trilogy is pretty much flawless down to the smallest detail.
