To add to this, those wipes are very deliberate homages to the Flash Gordan serials and other films from that era that George Lucas watched as reruns when he was a child. Those exact wipes were in the originals too. Its just a fun little thing they put in the movies to give this quick-paced serial feel to them and to pay homage to 30s sci-fi no one really cares about.
I'm so sick of this Lucas bashing. He is incredibly talented and his unforgivable crime was growing older and not having the fire, drive, and hunger his younger self had. Instead he gave us good sound, amazing video games, all manner of extended universe fun, etc. Its just amazing the swipes people take at him. I noticed these people don't swipe at the Stones or Dylan for producing lack luster content in their golden years. Funny how that works. Hell hath no fury like a nerd scorned...

And plenty of people have remarked that the Stones haven't been relevant in forever. But I think more people are angry that he won't leave the original trilogy alone.
- neilk 15y agoSome people argue that the real reason the latter movies all sucked was that Marcia Lucas, his partner, creative collaborator, and film editor, left him. George might have had a thousand goofy ideas, but by some accounts Marcia had all the taste. Chrome is flagging this link as malware, but I assume it was some bot infection they've cleared up.
