As much as I love Star Wars, I would argue that Raiders is even better, especially watching 40 years later. The advances in CGI can make the effects in the original Star Wars, for all its brilliance, look a little dated when compared to current Sci-Fi films. Raiders only gets better with age. Plus, the difference between Lucas writing dialogue (in Star Wars) vs. Kasdan writing it (in Raiders) is like comparing a third-grader to Hemingway. Excellent article.
