why does it matter how you've seen them, or when?
it's not aimed at you, as a target audience..
Exactly!! Here is a perfect example of EXACTLY what we are talking about!

I can forgive the "Saga is now complete" bit for marketing sake when it was in the theaters, most people who were going to go see it knew 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 were already out there. And I guess it can be forgiven for the intial DVD release. But now that we are packaging them in boxed sets, for people to buy and own all six, it seems like it is time to move forward.
With the whole "I could have sworn there were three movies left!" thing, LOL, I think Lucas should have added bookends to the PT, with Luke and Anakin's ghost, played by none other than Hayden, are sitting on logs around a camp fire on the moon of Endor. "Dad, I have been lied to my whole life. I really don't know much about you or mom, where I came from..." "Alright my boy, I'll tell you the whole story. Let me start back at the very beginning. It seems so long ago, I was nine years old, living as a slave boy on Tantooine when my adventures began... [fade to black] "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away" and STAR WARS theme plays.

Ending sequence to ROTS plays, Obi-Wan drops off Luke at Owen's place. Instead of closing to credits, close to campfire scene on moon of Endor. Luke stares speechless at the ghost of his father for a few seconds before exploding. "Oh my ****! Holy **** ****! What the ****??!" Falls to knees and starts puking violently. Finally he catches his breath, grasps his hand on his chest, and looks up at the camera in despair and yells, "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Close to credits and que jumpy SW credit music.
