Damn, so close!

But it does seem like LucasFilm wants to have their cake and eat it too, and they can't have it both ways.  They market the OT as something to watch after the PT, but they market the PT as something to appeal to the curiosity of OT fans.  It's like being caught in a really crappy circle.  There really is no beginning to Star Wars anymore.  How does any new fan know where to begin?  Oh, yeah, I forgot.  They have numbers.  And now a whole generation who doesn't know any better is going to be duped into thinking it's supposed to be watched that way, even though Episode III (of VI, right?) markets itself as "completing the saga."  Wait.  I could have sworn there were three movies left!  Whoops.  Was I supposed to watch those first?  No, that can't be right because the back of that box refers to events that happened in those other movies. 

Geez, to all those people saying that this new Star Wars stuff is bringing in new fans, I have to disagree.  I don't think I'd like Star Wars if I came into this mess...
