I admit that over Thanksgiving when I was at home I experimented by watching the movies I-VI (well, actually, I only got through Empire before I had to go back to school) Lucas's versions, and I admit that they did allow for a different perspective that was quite entertaining. I didn't say it was better, just that it allows you to see them differently. Sadly, my mom started watching with me. She'd pop in and out once in a while anyway. She had seen the original Star Wars in theatres in '77 supposedly, but she doesn't really remember it or care. She actually got into it, but when I got to the original Star Wars (oxymoron) she insisted on watching that with me because she wanted to see the movie that started it all. It was the worst viewing experience of Star Wars I'd ever had. She always asks questions in movies every fifteen seconds anyway. But there were, "Doesn't she know that Vader's her father?" and "How can C-3PO be there? Didn't Anakin make him?" And perhaps worst of all, "He doesn't look like Ewan McGregor!" It was then to my horror that I realized that I had indoctrinated my mother to Star Wars in numerical order. And she's all the more annoying for it.

But anyway, it's entirely possible that this girl liked it that way. I'm sure I would have too, and, like I said, I enjoyed the perspective myself. But it definitely doesn't prove anything about which way is better.
