I like the original trilogy better as well, at least better than eps1 & 2. Ep3 is almost as good as empire but comes up just short. I don't go to other forums because they gush over star wars & wont listen to any criticism of the films at all. I highly enjoy eps1 & 2 but they are flawed & I acknowledge the fact. Fantards, as DuracellEnergizer so quaintly put it, freak out when you say that & I have no desire to talk to them any more than I do haters. If you don't like the prquels or the newer versions of the OT that's fine. I just don't see why people have to be hateful about it. It doesn't offend me that some people don't like some of star wars - what offends me is the way some people express their dislike.
