Personally, I've advised certain various friends and their brats who hadn't yet seen any of the Star Wars saga, to start with 'A New Hope' (Adywan's version of course) and the rest of the Original Trilogy, before seeing the Prequels, regardless of the numerical order.... :)

It would certainly help people to understand how vastly disappointed we (as long-time OT fans) all were with the PT.

Now IMO I think the Prequels were great movies. BUT they just seem like completely different Star Wars than the one I saw a couple of nights ago. To me In since I saw the prequels first it seemed that while the storys were similar it just seemed like to much had changed in 15 years or whatever to even be the same story. In the ROTS the Sith Lord was seeking for an Aprentice when he found Anakin and that was suppose to be the whole turning point in the series but when you get to a New Hope it seems like the Jedi aren't even regarded as being that powerful of people. It seems that if Lucas was always intending to make prequels he should have made the prequels first to fit in better cause it seems like the two series or just storys that are somehow similar but don't conincide.

classicrock, you're just proving most of our points on the prequels. In 20 years, the Jedi have become myths, their "fire has gone out of the universe", after thousands of years of helping to run the whole galaxy! I wish that the prequels fit in better with the existing movies, I especially wish some of the plot twists of Empire and Jedi had remained secrets, but you already know that Anakin had kids, they're twins, and they're named Luke and Leia!
