That is an interesting way of looking at it, and I guess seeing every movie in their respective year does have a different effect then seeing them right after each other.

I will say that after seeing SW in '77, I was one who didn't want sequels, and I just loved the original so much, I got it in my mind, "How can you top this?" So for years, I was an OT fan, but nothing really beat the Original SW. As I got older and started looking more into the story, that is where the ESB & ROTJ really made SW that much better, cause they enriched the whole story. (Something the Prequels should have done!)

Gaffer, you may be suprised but I have never been a huge fan of 'I am your father' and I think that is where the split among SW '77 & ESB fans come in to what is their favorite. I just love the rebels vs empire story, and just following the good guys. Darth Vader was always cool as hell to me, but the more Lucas delved into his personality, the more turned off I became. I don't mind that the OT has Vaders story of redemption in it, cause the story is still about Luke, but it bothers me now that the saga 1-6 is supposed to be watched as a character arc of Anakin Skywalker. For me, that just isn't nearly that interesting, even if it was done well.
