Judging Star Wars on What Makes It to the Screen

Throughout film history, many future classics endured difficult if not nightmarish conditions during their productions. In our modern age, its very easy to know if a film is facing difficulties, and it can be tempting to judge that film based on what's going on (or at least what we think is going on) behind the scenes. In my opinion, we should try to judge movies based on what makes it to the screen rather than what's going on off-screen.
