Luke, the way I rate the films is Empire is the best, then Star Wars (ANH) and then Jedi. However, my favorite one is ANH. I can watch that one over and over and over. When I was a kid, I read the novel like 10 times in a row. Literally. I would get to the last page, and then start the book over. Kind of sick when I think about it now. Eh! I was 12. What can you expect.

Jedi was such a dissapointment when I saw it in 83. Especially after Empire was so great. However, I can see your point. If Lucas can pull of ROTS at least as well as Jedi (but darker) then it stands to be the best of the three prequels.
