何種類も売り出されたシリーズが映画自体として「中毒」を招くだけでなく、関連商品購入も「中毒」になって生活も壊れた(それでも満足している)人々が出てくる。 特に、旧3部作に比べ新3部作への失望が、多くの出演者の共通の不満となっている。エピソード1を観ただけでその後の作品は観てないという人も多い。絶対的な悪役の不在が新シリーズの欠点で、その悪役がルーカスになってしまったという人も出てくる。 最大の非難は、唯一のフルCGキャラクターであるジャー・ジャー・ビンクスに向けられる。不満から私家版の『スターウォーズ』を作った多くの人々も取り上げられる。 最初の公式なスピンオフの一つだった「ホリディ・スペシャル」(Star Wars Holiday Special)もまた批判の的となる(映像はその後公開されていない)。これは チューバッカが故郷に帰る話だった。

Brooklyn Castle is a documentary about I.S. 318 – an inner-city school where more than 65 percent of students are from homes with incomes below the federal poverty level – that also happens to have the best, most winning junior high school chess team in the country. (If Albert Einstein, who was rated 1800, were to join the team, he’d only rank fifth best.) Chess has transformed the school from one cited in 2003 as a “school in need of improvement” to one of New York City’s best. But a series of recession-driven public school budget cuts now threaten to undermine those hard-won successes.
