I understand what you're saying, but not a fair comparison. All movies are a product of their time and context cannot be forgotten. Movies like Casablanca and others were considered to have very good acting at their time. Star Wars was not considered to have good acting in 1977 even though a couple of well known actors were in it. Its strength was in other areas, of course.
