If you never saw the prequels, you could give a chance to the official ones (try Schorman’s HDTV preservations)…
You’ll enjoy the fan edits more if you know what they tried to change.
I used to watch these all the time when I had a functioning DVD player, but it stopped working years ago. Since then, I’ve never bothered to sit through them in their entirety for whatever reason. I think all the negative opinions kinda killed my love for the trilogy lol. But I’ll definitely check Schorman’s work out, thanks!
