I do. As far as Story goes, the Radio Dramas have it all over the movies. They'll never be able to match the pure viceral experience the OT is, but they're certainly my favourite versions of the story. Jedi I'm not as keen on as the first two. I think that doing it 20 years later with less money and less time really hurt the production. The descriptive dialogue is much more noticable and intrusive, and the absence of Mark Hamill really hurts things. It surprises me they couldn't get him, seeing as he does mostly voicework anyways.

As far as the PT goes, I doubt it'll ever happen, and honestly I'd be happy if it didn't. Jar Jar is almost completely unbearable on film, I'd hate to deal with so much more of him, especially when he has to be conveyed purely through his voice *shudder*.
