well im only 22 so I didnt really grow up with the OT, though I did start watching it at a young age, probably before i was 9-10. Flashyness has nothing to do with it. I could really care less about cgi. In fact I think it really takes away from the movies. For me its all about the concepts. The love scenes in the movies may have been horrible but, I think its the fact that these movies showed how cool the republic was before the empire came about is what does it for me.
I like the underworld movies because I think the story is pretty cool and I can Imagine the world and how cool it would be to explore them. As far as the movies themselves go, they are just popcorn flicks with not much in character development or real substance to them. I guess thats how I feel about the PT. Cool concept but the dilivery is just ok.

This is my point about the PT fans, do you see them loving these movies like us in 20 years? I think 'creepy' was a strong word, and I may have to change it to 'not as diehard as Lucas thinks'
This a guy defending the PT movies, who calls them popcorn entertainment with not much character development, but cool concepts. That is the great thing about the OT, they are popcorn films taken to another level, and that is why we still love them. If they were your typical summer blockbuster, this site wouldn't exist, and the OT would be just another trilogy loved by a niche base. And this is the fanbase that Lucas caters to now, and gives them high quality DVD's, fans who think their good popcorn movies.
