You are insane to say that the PT wasn't as revolutionary. Before the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, how many films had fully digital characters inteacting with live action ones? Very few. Do you think the WETA would have believed they could have achieved what they did with LOTR if it had not been for all the advancments and chances Lucas took with the technical side of the PT? Revenge of the Sith was filmed in it's entirity on a sound stage, with very little in the way of sets. Almost all the enviroments you see were created by computer imagery. Mind boggling.
I'm not even goint to attempt to respond to the other garbage you posted, simply because you questioned things, then made up your own answers for them, and then told others not to bother answering because if they did, it would mean this. Unreal.
Jaster, I appreciate your sentiment and enjoyed your personal view. However, I own a movie theater and had on display all 6 film posters in the lobby. The kids that walked in, who would have been around 7 to 10 when TPM came out and even younger, for the most part seemed to point out how much they enjoyed it over Attack of the Clones (a film most consider to be better). Some would say that they had seen 1 or 2 of the OT films, but seemed more excited about TPM. I found this all very interesting, to all sorts of people's reactions to the saga. People weren't shy about just talking about it in the open, standing in the lobby. Great stuff for a Star Wars fan to witness.
