so wat's the opinions here? do you think it would've been better if the prequel trilogy came before the original trilogy? i'm guessing either way it still would've been big and instead of the PT, we'd be bashing the OT. no offense.

That question doesn't work, because the PT and OT are both things of their times. If the PT had been made in 1970s/80s it wouldn't have been anything like what we got 1999-2005. Similarly, if the OT had been made in recent times it would have been a different piece of work.

Also, we don't just bash the PT because it's the newer later thing, we bash it because it betrayed the standards of the original Star Wars. Certain standards were set for Star Wars and certain unspoken rules, and the PT totally went against that.

I'm glad the PT wasn't made first, because who knows what it would have been like. I'm glad we got the old Star Wars we got, because that was great. Now if only we could make sure it got preserved and remained available in future formats.
