You have to look at it as a silly space adventure film. That's when it really comes to life. It's like Fury Road. If you look at that movie as a summer action film, it's absolutely perfect, but if you look at it as a drama it's clearly lacking.
Star Wars is just a fun movie with characters who are distinctive archetypes. The Empire Strikes Back abandons much of the silliness for a more nuanced approach and then Return of the Jedi can't make up its mind regarding tone. -

I don't classify Fury road as silly, I found it a very entertaining action movie, and it does have deeper philosophical themes like religious brain washing, theocracy in a dystopian society, etc
Silly defines Michael bay movies, and I don't watch them anymore. I find Tom Cruise movies to be more much more entertaining than star wars, and yet some of them have silly elements.
I think any martin scorsese/quentin tarantino/nolan movie is much more entertaining and a lot smarter than any of those in the star wars saga. -

I agree, Fury Road isn't silly. I wasn't equating Fury Road to Star Wars on a tonal level, but as films that can fall apart if watched from the "wrong" perspective.
To me, silliness is basically embodied by Luke and Han beating up two Storm Troopers so they can wear their armor and then traveling across a space city to the exact location where a princess is being held captive and rescuing her. But again, as a silly space adventure, Star Wars is basically perfect imo.
