Am I the only one who remembers?

I don't understand all the venom related to the last 2 movies.
Lets start with my background-
I saw the original SW in theaters 125 times. Empire I saw 85 times and Return 75 times.
Am I the only person who remembers thinking that "Star Wars" was a goofy name as was "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi"?
The original trilogy was full of excrutiatingly bad dialogue and even worse acting. The only one of the originals that actually qualifies as a good movie was Empire but thats because of who wrote it.
The last 2 movies have also had bad names, dialogue (come on, how many times does the phrase "In Time" have to be used?) and painfull acting.
To wit, the last 2 movies were just as bad as the first 2 movies.
That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy them. I just accepted them for what they were-formulaic space operas that were never meant to be analyzed to death by uber-geeks who think they should have a say into what Lucas does. So everyone should get over it, stop bitching about how bad the last 2 movies were and enjoy them at face value.
Now, having said that let me have all the flames, just try and make them somewhat literate.

Star Wars, Empire and Return were all very good movies. The writing and cutsey little ewoks kept them from being taken beyond a Sci-fi realm, but they were otherwise fantastic. The new movies thus far suck, and Lucas knows why as its been hammered into his brain by the media, his fans, even the Simpsons...
Hopefully Sith will break the mold and surprise us all.

Most of us real geeks made it a "Status" thing to see who could claim the most viewings in the theater.
You have to remember, in 1977 there was no video market as VHS and Betamax were in their infancy. So the only way you could get your fill of a movie was to see it as many times as possible.
And, yes I was also pretty loaded.

On the 16th of May in London they're showing all 6 movies in a row. I think they're showing IV, V, VI and then I, II, III so that Revenge of the Sith is the climax of the day. I also heard that George Lucas and some of the actors would be there.
