OMG you people are harsh on the PT. I know I'm new on this site and have only read about a weeks worth of threads but I just can't see the reasoning for all the hatred for GL and the PT.

I want the OOT on DVD as badly as anyone--I turned 9 years old the same weekend ANH opened and I can PROUDLY say I have been a SW dork since that very weekend. I watched ANH 23 times at the theaters, I made the pilgrimage to CIII, I have an entire room of my house dedicated solely to SW.

I hated the changes in the SE, Jar Jar, virtually all of AOTC and the wooden HC performance in ROTS but I didn't hate those parts enough to ruin the entire PT.

How can you hate the PT as a whole when they gave us Qui-Gon (the coolest, wisest jedi IMO) and Mace Windu, Clone Troopers and all the badass lightsaber duels. Not to mention more insight to the most badass MF in the universe, Palpy.

It wasn't just hype that made the PT great, it was the story that made it great. And like any good story, it has to change, especially when it is written over the course of 20+ years.
