A New Hope worked great for the reasons Baby Lee spelled out on top of it being an almost textbook example of the monomyth but gave us characters we could identify with beyond Luke as the hero archetype. Han, Leia... maybe even Threepio if one was super campy and a know-it-all.

Empire Strikes Back was a quality sequel which would stand on its own but also added to the storylines of characters people cared about from ANH. Return of the Jedi was flawed but it completed the story arcs and delivered on the name of the series itself: Star Wars.

Did Force Awakens have any of the elements that made ANH good?
