Fourthly, the original trilogy wouldn't mean nearly as much to me if the prequel trilogy didn't exist. ... but overall as one big, single movie the original trilogy just wasn't as good as the overall story of the prequels was as a single movie....

The PT is like a cancer on the body of Star Wars. The only way to save the OT is to remove the PT and then maybe it will survive.

The Prequels coming out was almost enough to make me think I just hated Star Wars. The re-edits of the OT, and the current batch of EU books and comics just about sealed the deal. It was getting my hands on theatrical preservations, despecialized editions and Star Wars Revisited that reminded me how much Star Wars there was to love.
