I find myself amused that there is a George Lucas apologist in this thread, it brings back memories of those flame wars back in 1999...heh.

I'm not a Lucas hater per se, I take the good with the bad. I think that he redeemed himself with "Sith", showing some of the flashes of brilliance he displayed in eps 4-5. A case can be made that ep 3 is a better film than ROTJ, actually. If you think about it, ROTJ is closer to TPM and AOTC in terms of quality except that it has Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Alec Guinness and Darth Vader in it, thus preventing it from being hated as much as the first two films of the prequels.

Maybe one day I'll get eps 1 & 2 on DVD on the premise that they're "so bad that they're actually good", lol. Or maybe there will be a "Special Edition" hack job of the PT that is so horrible that it will create the rationale for a www.originalprequeltrilogy.com petition site and I'll rush to the stores to get the DVDs before they're recalled by Lucasfilm.
