I have to agree with JediRandy for once- if you don't like the prequels (which I don't), don't watch them. I mean, giving up two of my all-time favorite movies (ESB and ROTJ) is something I could never do. ESB has for many years been my favorite SW film. As I get older, I appreciate SW more, but I still adore ESB, and ROTJ is sort of like the conclusion of ESB.

Believe me, I understand the whole thing about the PT sullying the Star Wars name, but honestly I don't really think about that too much. As long as I have the OOT to watch, I don't give a crap about the PT. My biggest concern as a SW fan now (like most everyone here) is the OOT on HD-DVD or Blu-ray.

.....and it's probably true that even if SW '77 were the only SW film, GL would still have screwed around with it.
