Anyway, I think I can sum up the problems, based on thse boards, with the old AND new generations of fans:

Old Generation: Your nastalgia blinds you.
New generation: Your CG blinds you.

I disagree, I gave the prequels a chance, I didn't start bashing them until I saw all 3. I stood by TPM & AOTC for 5 years saying it will all come together when ROTS makes the whole trilogy work. Now I feel the opposite, ROTS is so much better than TPM & AOTC, I will never watch them again, and atleast Lucas made a good movie on this one, which makes myself notice how average the first two prequels are.

The PT, after it is all said and done, has made me realize how good the original & ESB are. I have always said that ROTJ, is my least favorite of the OT, cause you can see the first crack of kiddiness with the Ewoks, but when I was growing up, it was my favorite? When I was growing up, ESB was too dark for me as an 7 year old, and was my least favorite of the saga, but now 20 years later, those movies have flipped. So if you're talking about nostalga, I should still love ROTJ?

The reason why I think the original & ESB are great, is because........They are great films! I watch them now and am amazed at how good they are. After ESB, the quality in SW never reached that level again. Sure ROTJ is very good, because we still had Luke, Leia, and Han, and The Emperor scenes and the space battle make the movie. But the prequels, to me personally, just don't reach the level of that ESB & the Original had.

Maybe Lucas hit lightning in a bottle twice, cause how many sequels ever rival a classic original? Maybe it is ESB fault, that it is so damn good, that every older fan is waiting for the high-quality of movie, and it is just so hard to duplicate. Maybe Lucas lost his hunger to make a classic movie, and a good Star Wars was enough to sell to the public. Or maybe Lucas just became to autonomous toward every decision, and you don't have someone to tell him Jar Jar ruins the movie.

It isn't nostalga, it is quality, that's what we think is wrong, and to me, the quality hasn't been gold since 1980.
