LOL

I am old enough to have seen both ESB and ROTJ in the theatres and all 3 movies have played such a large role in my life, so the PT had *a lot* to live up to. When it was confirmed that Lucas was really doing them, I didn't want the movies to come out from the get-go because I just KNEW they weren't going to be able to live up to the originals for me. Also, if they weren't done correctly, the OT could be tainted for both the current fans and the fans to come...

When the SE came out in '97 and I saw some of the changes, "Uh-oh!" is all I could say! I had a sinking feeling in my gut that the PT was going to suck big time...

EPI came out and I was pretty bored with it from start to finish. Also, there were MANY things I didn't like about this new story line: Anakin built C3PO?!? A virgin birth?!? Tatooine is being used AGAIN?!? Midichlorians?!? But I was able to brush those things off in hopes that the future episodes would be better...

EPII was just BORING to me and I can remember almost falling asleep during it (and I have never, ever fallen asleep in a theatre no matter how bad the film was!). This is my least favorite in the series for far too many reasons to list here.

EPIII I actually enjoyed quite a bit and feel that it is the best of the series. It does have its faults, though, Lord does it have its faults...

As surprising as it all is to me, I am finding these days that as more time passes, I actually am getting nostalgic for the PT!!! But like others have said, it is more for the experiences and what was going on in my life at the time versus the actual movies. I must also say now that EPI has actually gone up a few notches in my book, though, and I never thought I would ever say that LOL But EPII will always, always be my most hated and the most pointless in the series IMO...Lucas REALLY missed the boat with that movie!
