I tried to watch it a few times as a teenager when it was still kind of new and still never made it past the first 30-40 minutes.
Is 15 told old to really appreciate it?

No, I don't think that I will.
The Star Wars movies are kids movies. If you can't view them through that lens of being 9 years old again you're not really going to enjoy them.
I still watch all of them in the theater when they come out but I channel my grade school self when I watch them.
I support people's rights to make it but have very little interest in reading/watching most of it.
It's not outstanding but it is well crafted.
Iconic action scenes, memorable, quotable dialog and one liners. Great charismatic actors playing the hero and the main villian.
Good actors playing supporting characters.
Decent coherent easy to follow story.
Lots of action movies from that era don't score highly on at least a few of those points and have been mostly forgotten.
I assume this dude is some kind of extreme minimalist or something. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The term has been around at least since the mid 90s.
That's my favorite TNG movie.
Roddy McDowell carried the movie. You sympathize with him just a bit and want the heroes to stop his character at the same time.
