Well... Star Wars is a completely generic story...

Whats your problem?

 

 Yep.  A generic story that was a cultural phenomenon and changed the entire landscape of how movies are made.

No problems here... man.

 

Star Wars (at least the originals) is a classic hero's tale.  Boy from humble origins, rescues princess, struggles with good and evil, prevails against all odds, defeats the evil.

It's the subtleties that make it stand out.

^this

Whoever can't understand why cultural phenomena can have totally generic stories should think about fairytales. And google "propp's functions".
