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?

Once again, I saw TPM for the same reason as everyone else here, because I was excited to have a new Star Wars movie. I guess I'm a rarity on here because I actually thought TPM was good. I didn't think it was on the same level as the OT by any means, but it was ok. Could of been better with much less Jar Jar/Gungan sillyness.
AOTC and ROTS I saw wanting to see how this finally wrapped up. AOTC was horrible, easily the worst of the series, IMHO. The only saving grace of it was the great job that Christopher Lee did as Count Dooku, who I thought was wasted later on. ROTS was ok. After AOTC, I wasn't nearly as excited about ROTS as I otherwise would of been, because I didn't expect much out of it, so I thought it was pretty good all things considered.
