I don't go to theaters, and I have only seen the first one (in Orem, '79), but I like the message of the whole series taken as a whole. It is a cautionary tale about the decay of democracy and the rise of totalitarianism, such as we are witnessing and experiencing in the USA today. Palpatine and the Sith lords have established their dominion, and will soon declare their planet-wide empire openly, it would seem.
Here's a link to a good essay detailing the process ala "Star Wars":
