I very much dislike A New Hope and its clone, The Force Awakens, and I think a lot of people do as well, but rate it highly because it pioneered it all. It's understable and sort of fair, but my reasoning is that, if George Lucas indeed planned the entire trilogy from the beginning, then A New Hope is taking all the credits from a much longer work which would have proceeded just about the same as far as concepts, moviemaking and storyline goes, if it were absent, so yeah, I rate it lower than the other episodes for a weak and simplistic storyline, and a subpar pacing.
