This article provides an interesting take on Star Wars as a ring composition. It claims that all the movies, including the prequels, interact in a way to weave a complex pattern. This pattern is marked by repetition across a border, like an image against a mirror. It compares the composition of the movies to that of of a song, with lyrics which repeat themselves, similar but different. The article is long and full of references and well worth a read, even if you didn't like the prequel trilogy.

Possibly because I remember when Lucas said flat out that "making sequels is for losers who can't think up new stuff" ... I'm with HelloGreedo on this.

It's basically wanking on deja-recognition of imaginary patterns.
