When I first registered for this site, I defended the PT to the posters here. I acknowledged that they were inferior, but still believed them to be good movies. Now here I am today, and my opinions have slightly changed due to the influence of those here. But when I say slightly, I really mean only slightly. I see better the flaws and inconsistencies, and I see more problems and get irritated at more parts. But simultaneously, I still enjoy the PT far more than most of the other posters here. They are sort of deuterocanonical for me, fun at times but not always part of my who Star Wars worldview. Sometimes I consider them canon, sometimes I don't. It just depends on what I'm trying to enjoy. Your views are valid, even if your points aren't very strong. You have every right to enjoy the PT, just as I do. But just understand that you are arguing with people who will not be changed, and whose views have been shaped by a number of experiences. You can still get along here, but the prequels will never be seen as equal to the originals among this crowd, including this particular fan of the PT.
