too many plot holes.
Storm troopers move like children w/ guns and can't aim worth sh!t. their armor does nothing.
When they get to the death star, they just happen to be close to where Leia was, and the tracter beam. No storm trooper squad was there to meet luke, han, leia, and chewie in the garbage compactor, when it was so obvious that they escaped there. Also, right before they fell down the chute, why couldn't storm troopers use anti-personnel grenades or even nonlethal smoke grenades? Luke and gang was basically pinned. GAH.
R2D2 can hack into the Death Star with ease, and no security alert is in place when Luke and the gang hides after wearing storm trooper gear. The deathstar has the worse security system ever, software/hardware likewise. No hacking is monitored? no lockdown is in place? With their technology, prisoners should have tracking systems implanted in them. Luke and gang and obi wan just waltz into a heavily fortified enemy fortress as if they just entered a peaceful green park.
I refuse to believe that Chewbaca in the original is the same Chewbaca in episode 6. Han treats Chewie like a younger companion, and orders him in everything. Han says he doesn't believe in the force, yet Chewie helped Yoda? Chewie, being a seasoned war veteran in episode 6, is some lowly smuggler's partner/slave? fvck that. LAME. I want to believe that Chewie was named after a cool wookie war hero that helped Yoda. That makes more sense.
In the space battles, the space craft move like they're in atmosphere, and with their technology, they can't shoot 2 torpedoes through a 2 meter wide hole? With their technology, they couldn't detect the millenium falcon creeping up onto the Vader's fighters and his wingmen? There's no head's up display, and it's just a static canopy. In space, where there's no frame of reference anywhere, how the hell did single-manned fighters even properly fight w/o a comprehensive HUD? Shouldn't Vader's wingmen be among the best fighters, and one of them made a lame mistake by going "look out!" and crash into Vader? LAME. the deathstar fight scene didn't look desperate enough, and a deathstar with that size should be equipped w/ shitloads of missiles to destroy a mere 30 fighters. It should've been an extreme, desperate fight that took extreme luck to destroy the deathstar. it looked nothing like that. It looked as if 30 tiny fighters just waltz'ed onto the deathstar and blew it up.
The rebel pilots don't wear space suits?!?! a small blast to their canopy, and they're toast.
If AI's are powerful enough, then why not just AI's to pilot them, and/or remotely pilot them from the planet?
Storm troopers still can't aim even if their lives and everything they hold dear depended on it, and do not move like professional assault squads. They move like little kids with no brains.
all in all, it just looks like the empire is run by incompetant children who gave victory to the rebels on a silver plate w/ gold lining. Their professional army of storm troopers can be taken out by a clan of rednecks, well, even worse, a primitive group of teddy bears w/ no powered weapons whatsoever.

Star Wars was great... until the 3 new movies were released, and now I have absolutely no desire to watch any of the 6 ever again.
Maybe instead of the original comment being how great Independance Day was, what if instead it was meant to say how meh Star Wars is watching it for the first time now?

It's a tremendous movie. The plot and characters are largely allegorical and, in that respect, they were sublimely written and acted. Like many older movies, however, you need to pay attention to appreciate it.

Spaceballs!!!
Loved Star Wars and even really like Independence Day. Like others said, you really had to be there to appreciate it. For someone today to appreciate Star Wars requires them to be able to put themselves into the original context, to understand all the revolutionary aspects of it. Same goes for other classics, if you can place yourself into a time, you can even appreciate Black and White(OMG!) movies from the 1940s and 1930s!
