I enjoy all of the films in the same way. But I don't watchany of them very much, becuase I have a low attention span.



No thats your opinion, I dont find it as enjoyable because of Jar Jar and think the podrace goes on too long especially in the official one,and I think the others are of better quality, I try at least to see the original film at least once or twice a fortnight, then Empire then probably Jedi or Sith depending on what time i have available.


Well, for example, the pod race in TPM may go on for FAR to long, but so do the Jabba scenes in ROTJ. However, I have no problem with that, since the pod race scenes are there to show off the fact that (in addition to the fact that they need him to win in order to get off of the planet) Anakin is an exceptional podracer and strong with the force, and the ROTJ Jabba scenes are meant to (in addition to showing the rescue of Han) show off the fact that Luke is now a Jedi Knight, and much stronger than when we last rescue. So, although both films are not perfect, they can be enjoyed equally for different reasons.
