Yeah Shim, you are right, there were grown up elements of the PT, and I realsie that every point I raise about the OT being better than the PT can always be countered. Maybe I am just not good enough with words to explain it, or maybe it just can't be explained, but there was something fundamental in the OT that just elevated it above the prequels, and in fact above many (perhaps most) other movies, especially movies that most would look at as 'silly sci-fi'.

I don't think anybody could have ever made new Star Wars films that everybody was happy with everything about, but whatver the lovers and haters of each trolgy say, there is something ineffable about the OT that made it great, while the PT is merely entertaining (and in some places not even that).
