I think with Star Wars A New Hope, you might not "get it" because many of it's elements are made for the American culture circa late 60's and early 70's. Still there's so many elements that are timeless and multicultural.
I know you didn't say you didn't like A New Hope, but I'd always be shocked if I heard someone say they didn't like it. Not only is it fascinating, visually rich, but I think Mark Hamil's performance of Luke was Oscar worthy. He brought so much heart and sincerity. He was OK in Empire, and ghastly in Jedi. He was in a really bad accident at the start of Empire. I don't know if gave him some brain damage. Not kidding.
