See, that's precisely why I don't like the PT. Because I've come to regard them as not Star Wars, I don't care what it says on the DVD case (in the store, mind you. I don't own them) Hence why I frequent a OT forum. Heh.

I agree with you, and I still consider the saga 4-6, cause it just doesn't work 1-6 for me. Just cause I can enjoy them as guilty pleasures, doesn't mean I love them. When Back to the Future III comes on TV, I will watch it, but I know in my heart is inferior to Part II, and doesn't even come close to the original, but it is part of the series, so I can enjoy that as a guilty pleasure too.

But the bottom line for me is, will I sit down 10 years from now and say to myself, "You know what I am in the mood for, The Phantom Menace, I have been dying to watch it!!!" That aint going to happen with any of the Prequels, cause they won't pass the test of time with me, just like Back to the Future III, and just like many of the Rocky Sequels, I can watch them all when they are on Cable on a Saturday Afternoon, but I have yet to yearn to watch them on DVD years after their release.

Back to the Future, Rocky, Superman: The Movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark are all movies that I yearn to watch on DVD cause they are great movies, but their sequels are all guilty pleasures. The difference with the OT movies, especially SW & ESB is they are great movies that aren't guilty pleasures, I still yearn to watch all 3, and that is why I will always see the saga 4-6, and the rest as EU crap.
