I remember the 97 SE fondly, but it had more to do with the experience of seeing it in the theater after all those years.

I agree with ^. It was a great experience at the time, but really the SEs suck.

For me the 1999-2002 time frame killed Star Wars - terrible films and terrible EU at the same time. A partial resurrection followed with the two KOTOR games, but ROTS came along and essentially nuked the franchise from orbit.

These blu-rays are essentially Lucas desecrating Star War's corpse.

For me the OT died with the SE's. Lucas fucked them up right off the bat. Then along come the PT. TPM started out pretty good (still the best of the PT crap). Take out Midichlorians and Jar Jar then give Maul a litttle backstroy and more screen time you might have a decent film. Then along came Clones the biggest piece of shit to every come down the Star WARS pipeline. We all walked out of the film going what the fuck was that we just saw? It sure was not a SW film! I knew then the ROTS would have to be the best SW film made to pull the trilogy out of the mud. Sadly ROTS was only a little better than Clones (it suffers from the same problems as clones).
