That is the major difference between the older (you) and the newer (myself) fans. To you, the Luke story is most interesting, and the PT serves as a backstory. To me, the story is about the rise, fall, and redmption of Anakin Skywalker by his son, and the restoration of the Jedi Order by his son. (I also count the post-ROTJ stuff.) Both men are the main characters, I'll agree with that. But to me, the PT adds the depth to the story, rather than simply being the "backstory to the main story."

The one thing I have noticed, is if you like the EU Books, and I have a friend that does, you tend to like the saga as 1-6, and are more interested in the whole galaxy of Star Wars, while liking the rise,fall, and redemption of Anakin Skywalker.

Personaly, I have never read an EU book, for some reason it just doesn't interest me, but the books continue on with the whole story, that some people see it as giving the saga more depth, and other feel it is just plain boring.
