I saw them multiple times, and bought all of the DVD's.... as did EVERY single person I know who saw them (well, every single person saw them in the theater at least, not everyone bought all of the DVD's though.)

No one I know enjoyed the movies, the acting and dialogue were so bad at times that people in the theater were actually laughing (Vader's Frankenstein dance, "Anaking you're breaking my heart," "Nooooooooo," Jar Jar, etc.) no one I know even talks about them any more (they were such throw-away quality that they have since been forgotten.) Why bother seeing them then, even multiple times? Because they were Star Wars.... there was almost an obligation to see them - they were part of the most famous film franchise of all time - whether you want to acknowledge that fact or not makes no difference.

The quality of the Original Trilogy had such an enormous cultural impact that it's still referenced frequently (I am your father, Yoda talk, etc.) and talked about to this day. The Prequels have had no such effect, they've faded fast. Why? They simply were just not that good.
