The PT plus the treatment of the OT put me off Star Wars in a big way. I stopped watching any Star Wars completely such was my frustration (yet still saw myself as a fan). Then my two sons found some of my old toys in the garage and they began asking questions.

I was trying to figure out how best to introduce them to the movies when someone gave me a copy of the first few seasons of Clone Wars. I was sceptical and it took me a while to actually sit down and watch an episode. When I did I actually enjoyed them. It was what I had wanted from the prequels but never got. As the series went on I found that I was beginning to love Star Wars again.

Because of that series I can now watch the PT without feeling frustrated at the missed opportunity. Because of harmy I’ve been able to show my boys the OUT.

Unfortunately, a friend of theirs recently showed them the 2004 DVD Special Edition.

They now prefer that version.

That friend has been banned from my house.
