Well, I don't know about you guys, but over the years, now being a little older, wiser, I've learned to appreciate the prequel trilogy a whole lot more than I used to.

The opposite has happened for me- the Prequels seem even worse now than when I saw them originally.

Yeah, true for me too, though I have probably seen AOTC and ROTS no more than three times each (which makes it interesting that I saw TPM seven times in the theater, just the excitement of the music and the opening crawl on the big screen and that lightsaber battle at the end made it worth it). I remember hating ROTS even more the second time I saw it, and it being unbearable the next time. First two times were in the cinema, third time was on DVD. I never saw AOTC in the theater, so I had only ever seen it on DVD, and I remember the first time being interested in what happens next, but greatly disappointed. And viewings of it after the first time were pretty painful, and one of those times was the riff track version, and it was still hard to watch. If I had to sum AOTC up in two words, they would be: "fingernails" and "chalkboard". If I ever had to watch it again in one setting, I might actually consider removing my eyes and squeezing them into my ears.
