Imagine that A New Hope was actually released this year, not 40 years ago. How would have audiences perceived it?
There is stil a nerd group, half of which hates anything SJW and half who think Sci-Fi isn't progressive enough. But they aren't Star Wars fans.
Personally, there are so many plot holes that would be picked apart.
The normal stupid design of the Death Star with a glaring hole no one saw
Randomly finding a prisoner on a space station measured in square miles
Terrible lightsaber fight. Also, being a main focus of Jedis, lightsabers don't come up much in this movie
Ben dying would have been better if it happened as they were flying out fighting hundreds of storm troopers. Also, great name change. Apparently it fooled everyone. Also, nice morals. Let everyone in the 'verse live under a dictator becuase, what is he scared? Jedis seem terrible
For a massive space station, there were hardly an tie fighter defences. Or Star Destroyers
Imagine if the Empire came in and did a bombing run of Yavin first to knock out any resistance.
I could go on, but I think it should be your turn.
