The Star Wars knockoffs between ANH and ESB are insanely bad. Half of those movies are basically over-greebled models and cheap special effects without much plot or substance. The other half are just formulaic sword and sorcery 80s movies with a spaceship or lightsaber thrown in.
Special effects are just a tool, a means of telling a story. People have a tendency to confuse them as an end to themselves. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing. -George Lucas
Of course, George forgot his own advice later on.
The model is old, but direct-to-video sequels were usually always awful. There are 14 Land Before Time movies. 14. Only the first one got a theatrical release.
