I was lookin at the Episode III reviews on amazon.com and some guy named Ryan Lockwood had this to say:
"George Lucas clearly did not make the original Trilogy because the most recent incarnations of Star Wars are not only the worst in the series, they are the worst movies ever made.
If you don't agree with what I'm saying, ask yourself this question: "If this movie wasn't based in the Star Wars universe, would I still think it's so great?" Clearly the answer is no. These movies are terrible and George Lucas should be dragged into the street and shot."
Well If I tried to imagine watching Star Wars for the first time by watching episode 1 first, would I still like it? Well yeah I think so. It still has more imagination than Dude Wheres My Car, and could be argued to be better than The Matrix Trilogy. Why would I, and probably many more would still like it.

That weapon, and the duels alone will make you interested in watching the whole saga. Also no other sci-fi movie will ever use a laser sword, and if they did, they are only doing a comedic parody. Believe it or not Star Wars has never been a great emotional expierences from great actors, instead they have basically always been great eye candy, and entertainment with an amazing story and great characters in a fantastic world. And episode I has all of that, if you think about it.
I have always been interested in finding out how future generations will look at these films. Mainly because they will have a different outlook, and I think their opinions will be more honest, and not so much biased like Ryan Lockwood's.
