I think the fact that seeing the PT first would ruin the experience of OT, as most of you said, shows that the PT is not as good as it should have been. It is only interesting as an afterthought to see how the situation at the start of ANH came to be. And that does not justify three movies. Maybe it would have been better if GL had done ep 7, 8 and 9. at least they would be relevant. But it could also have been worse. It's even more upsetting when the characters you know and love are ruined. At least in the PT there are mostly new characters, excepting Anakin, Obi and the Emperor.

hey, maybe we should get that machine from "eternal sunshine" to get the memories of SW wiped out to see how it feels like to wath them 'in order'........no, i take it back, it's not worth it...
