BREAKING: Star Wars is not Shakespeare... news at 11

:rant:
C'mon everyone! Star Wars is not Shakespeare. When you go see any one of the SW movies, you will not get beautifully flowing dialogue and great acting.

You go see SW for the action, for the good v. evil battle, for the cool effects, for the whole popcorn experience.

I just wished people and critics lightened up a bit. SW is not and has never been about Oscar winning acting or dialogue...

Ok, off my soapbox.

Edited to add: I know Shakespeare was considered entertainment for the 'ignorant' masses, full of gore, sex, etc. But in the context of my rant, I am POd about people who cannot see SW for what it is: pure entertainment.
