I agree with whats being said about Star Wars, to me it is still a magical film even after all these years and works great as the standalone film it was/is with a beginning and an end, and am a bigger fan of this film than any of the other five as well, but at the same time not really disliking any of the others.
I watch them all now as standalone films, and have no real interest in or the time to get into of all this "Darth Vader's story" bit that Star Wars is now supposed to be about, I am at point now where if I feel like being entertained for 2 hrs and fancy abit of SW, I will stick one in, and alot of time it will be the original......
