I saw the OT as a kid on VHS in it's...er, original glory. Saw the 97'SE in cinema. To be completely honest, I have no issue with the updated effect and actually enjoyed them. The pointless plot changes and CGI Jedi Rocks, on the other hand ...

1. TESB - the best of them all plot-wise. The most polished and professionally done. Also, the camera work and directing are fantastic.

2. Star Wars / ANH - close second. Fantastic movie but just doesn't have the same quality as TESB.

3. ROTJ - sloppy, plot holes. Still, fantastic score, battles, sequences on board the Death Star are great drama.

4. TPM - best prequel despite huge flaws. Lovely visual design, actual props and sets, Liam Neeson. Action sequences were great and the soundtrack is amazing.

5. AOTC - distant fifth. Has its fun moments (Obi-Wan and Jango in the asteroids) but way, way too much CGI, thin plot, horrible acting. Too over the top action scenes, and not in a good campy way.

6. ROTS - I pretty much hate that one. Feels like a soap opera series. Rare moment of gold like the broadside exchange during the opening battle or Ewan McGregor's performance. Latino soap opera quality dialogue, plot, camera work, directing, sets, CGI, etc.
