Nothing Star Wars or Disney, good or bad, is more concerned with art than entertainment. It might be bad, it might be a miss, but they surely aim for entertaining.

It's of course a continuum -- few movies exist squarely in either the "artsy" or "entertaining" ends of the spectrum -- but it's a safe bet Star Wars is closer to the entertaining/spectacle end.

The problem with calling a Star Wars movie "arty fartsy" is that it twists the meaning of this term to mean "a movie I don't like", which I'd rather people did not do.
