Forget critics? That would mean I should forget your criticism as well.

What makes you so much smarter than the critics who didn't "get" what made the classic trilogy so great at first?

Wait a second, I was saying the OT was perfect compared to the SE, and they didn't need any tinkering. You can tinker all you want with ROTJ, doing this and that to it is not going to make it a better movie, so yes it is perfect compared to the SE, but it is an average movie when taken in movie sense.

Where do I get my conclusions? I have nephews that from the ages of 6-10 years old that grew up with the PT and saw the saga 1-6, and they were really into it last year when ROTS came out, but it was a faze and that is different then the OT days for me and my friends after '83. I am not saying they don't like the SW movies, they enjoyed them last year, but cause they never fell in love with one movie cause they were watching it as a 1-6 entity, it is more of something they like that was the flavor of the month, but this summer, they are all Pirates of the Caribbean.

For me growing up, SW '77 was the movie that grabbed me as a fan, and I don't think ESB & ROTJ are as great as that movie in 1977, but I do care more about Luke, Leia, and Han, so I will always be an OT fan. After '83, I still loved and watched the movies endlessly, my nephews haven't touched ANY of the SW movies, including the OT cause they don't love it, and that is because they are a bunch of movies that some are good and some are bad to them, so why would they revisit them if they don't think they are all great? In 1985, I loved Back to the Future and watched that on Video thousands of times, but I never pushed off the OT like my nephews have done, to them it is just another set of cool movies that they will revisit every once in a while. SW for me and many of my friends, it was a religion, and that is the difference when you start making average movies.
