Sure, some elements were there for kids, but for the originals saga adults could engage and enjoy a deeper story. Empire was, imho, much less of a kids movie, as was Jedi (except for those %#@!!! Ewoks…) Well, at least that's how it feels to me. I saw plenty of Disney-like sci-fi movies as a kid - they were all pretty insipid compared to Star Wars. I was inspired to go into science because of Star Wars, not by 'Battle beyond the Stars' , 'the last star fighter' etc etc.
