I'd like to see an accurate poll on this matter - did Star Wars fans watch the PT because they wanted to, or because they felt they had to?
I saw TPM out of excitement for a return to the Star Wars universe. I saw AOTC partially out of obligation and partially out of a hope that it would be better than Ep1. In my estimation, AOTC was the worst movie I have ever seen. Just a train wreck. My wife agreed and has to this day refused to see ROTS, which I saw purely out of obligation.
I don't recall if I saw TPM twice or only once. ROTS I will eventually see again. I still haven't sat through my MagFan edits of 1 & 2.

Wasn't an earlier Hitchcock film, Rope, also in just one setting?

Not just one setting, but filmed so as to appear to be one entire take. The edits between takes were masked by methods such as a character walking in front of the camera in the foreground and stuff like that. It's a really fun film to watch on a few different levels.
