I agree Shimraa, but to me the PT should be the before and the OT should be the after. Showing the in-between will just spoil those classical first moments with Vader, first only seeing the boots and hearing the breathing... and then the camera slowly panning up revealing this stark black figure with the mask. The same thing applies to the imperial march at the end of AOTC, they should have come up with a slighter echo of that theme and use that instead, imho.

My thinking is all along the lines of GL not showing the jump-to-hyperspace effect in the prequels to preserve those cool moments for the OT.

Don't get me wrongo, I love the prequels as they are and I really enjoyed how they incorporated the imperial march into the music it was very powerful to someone who already knows the OT (heh, I still get goosebumps when watching the movie on DVD), I just think the PT is on it's way to become one huge spoiler trilogy for people who haven't seen the OT. It's nothing bad, but first time watchers need to know that seeing them in the intended order 1,2,3,4,5,6 is not recommendable the way the prequel storyline is built.
