Okay, I realize I'm coming at this the wrong way. While I truly love the OT more, and I will watch just the trilogy more often the all six, I don't mind seeing all six as a "saga." Like Go-Mer said, there are some interesting parallels and opposites. But I refuse to comprehend this "saga" as 1-6. And, yes, I have tried to watch it this way, with the most current special editions and all that crap. To me, though, it will always be 4-6, 1-3 when I watch all six together, because the trilogy is the story. The prequels are the behind the scenes information. You still get the same yin-yang relationship that Go-Mer speaks of, but it preserves the real story rather than making it be seen in context of what came before it. You see, what's interesting about prequels is that, you've seen the real story, and then you watch the prequels, and then it's supposed to cause you to look at the real story in a different way, in a different context. I'm not going to get into the argument as to whether or not the prequels were able to accomplish that. But it loses something when you watch the backstory first. Because you come in from that perspective, it's not as meaningful as it would be if you came in first from the real story and then watching the prequels already knowing what you know is supposed to happen. I mean, the first time I watched ROTS, I enjoyed it a lot, and it grabbed me a lot because I knew that Anakin was going to become Darth Vader, and my mind had fun trying to put the pieces together as to how that was going to come about. That's an experience you can't have if you watch it before you watch the real story. And as much as guys like Go-Mer and Jumpman try to say it should be watched in numerical order, you know you were both indoctrinated into the prequels with your knowledge of the real story already cemented in your minds. There's no way you'll know if you would have actually liked the prequels or Star Wars in general if the first three Star Wars movies you ever saw were the prequels. I'm not saying you wouldn't, but you came in with the same perspective we did, and so you enjoyed the prequels for the same reasons we might have (assuming anybody besides me occasionally enjoyed them to any extent at all).
