So yeah, all the movies have their faults, but it wont bother me to watch all six. Yeah the OT was better, but Sith redeemed some of the PT at the end.

I started this topic, but you 100% summed up the way I feel about the saga. My only conflict I have with myself, is are we shortchanging ourselves when we say how we love the OT, and the fact that is better, and though it is Star Wars we put up with all the bad crap from the PT. In a sense I will always watch them because they are Star Wars, but on the other hand I am quick to acknowledge how mediocre, especially TPM & AOTC is cause they are Star Wars.
It is the most ironic of ironies. The OT we defended because we loved those movies, and nobody was going to question them, because they were the best movies growing up. Now we defend the PT only because they are a fraction of what use to be a great saga, partly because it has the name Star Wars at the start of each movie. Weird, isn't it.
