What's worse is seeing someone do it in real life. (Yes. She was generally insufferably histrionic as you can imagine.)

I disagree. No it isn't. No they weren't. ANH and ESB were both very human-centric. It was only with ROTJ when it all turned into a muppet-fest for shameless merchandising. "Aliens" work better as background and supporting characters because you simply can't act worth a damn with a giant...
