TheBoost said: I see your point, but 50 Cent's new album doesn't affect how we view "Revolver" or "Sgt. Peppers." The PT actively recontextualizes how the OT is viewed.

Yep, but one can of course say that ESB and ROTJ do that to SW. Many sequels do that when they reveal details about the prevous films that were previously left to the imagination. Despite growing up with the OOT, I can still act on what I have subsequently learnt about SW, forget the two following films, watch it as a stand alone film and appreciate it on that level. It takes an effort, but I can do it. The same is true of other films.

If children love Star Wars enough to research its origins and development when they grow up, they can do the same. If they don't, then it won't matter. I'm with Puggo on this one.
