I'd have to say that my favorite Star Wars movies are the prequels that were never made. I know that sounds strange, but as far as I am concerned, the prequels never were made. I don't know what episodes I through III are, but they aren't Star Wars. For me the prequels still exist in my mind as an abstract concept, roughly defined but still unseen. A trilogy of movies with the depth of story, character, emotion, fun and subtext that made the original series timeless, but with a level of care, detail, and respect that the backstory so richly deserves. The possibilities for fun, exciting storytelling and true Star Wars style swashbuckling are almost overwhelming when you stop and think about it...what could have been.
