When I watch ending of the music video "A Hero Falls" and there is this scene from Phantom Menace when Yoda says "Clouded This Boy Future Is " and I see this darken jedi council room and young Obi Wan looking at Qui Gon with this uncertainty in his eyes and then there is this shot that shows little Anakin looking at the council with that little spark of anger in his eyes . It's all different for me now . This movie is now showing its dark parts . For me watching it after ROTS will be much better .

I too like all the SW movies, though the first two prequals less. Return of the Jedi has always been my favorite and Palpatine my favorite character. I find him way cooler than Vader which I know most people find wierd.
Thats becuase he is the brains behind the evil vader is a small pawn in his plans =)

episode I made me a star wars fan. I LOVE 1,2,3,5 and 6. episode IV is crap but its star wars so it should be treated with respect
i cant see how anyone would think epi. 4 is crap....one of the most exciting movies ever....just the trench run alone was amazing. i think most people think it sucks because its special FX werent breath taking. i for one like the FX and to me the story was much more important.
I don't think ANH is "crap," but I definitely see the guy's point. I mean, it's just different. It's takes SO much time to get going, and it has SO much introductory stuff, even more than TPM.
Basically, I just look at it like a pilot.... Usually you have a really good tv show, and you see the pilot, you don't like it as much because there are so many things you are used to that are different.... ideas they tried but changed, principles that weren't introduced or developed yet.... I like it, but to me ANH comes across as the pilot to Empire and ROTJ.
Like, the underdeveloped lightsaber fight... Vader being almost a sidekick and not the main villian... the guy in the briefing room telling the pilots "May the force be with you," when Ep. V and VI (not to mention I II and III) make it abundantly clear that the Jedi alone have faith in and believe in the force... Luke's primary weapon is a blaster.... stuff like that that is just so different from the other two. Yes, introductory, but different.
Most (not all, but most) people say Empire is the best. When you get down to it, the "feel," the concept of Empire is just completely different from ANH.

Finally someone knows that Episode IV is complete crap. It is SOOOOO boring.
I wouldn' t be here right now if it were not for Ep IV. I would have never watched any of the other films if I hadn't loved that one.
If Ep. 1 had been the first one I had seen I probably NEVER would have watched any of the others...
The only thing I can figure is the people who don't like Ep. IV are not the same people who sat in a theater in 1977 and saw something that was completely different than anything they had ever seen before - Star Wars, the original, now known as A New Hope.
