I just think the OT had that rare combination of great characters, edge of your seat action, and great drama, while the PT is more of a plot driven trilogy, with not a good characters overall, and though I don't think the PT is as bad as everyone says, I don't think it is great either. [/B]
I do what Lucas says, consider it all one big movie, split into chapters. I've never been one to pit ANH vs. AOTC in some kind of weird Celebrity Death Match. True, they're separate, but part of one big pie. I love watching all 6 movies. I do think the PT is great. The OT was groundbreaking, while the PT came around when everybody and their brother was doing SF and fantasy.
I love that watching the Vader strangulations in the OT affect me differently now that I know Padme was his first victim. You see things differently in both trilogies thanks to the other trilogy, I love that about the series now.

That's about how I see it too.
All of Kenobi's and Yoda's lines now take on more power and signifigance as well.
I was talking about the OT lines. 😛
"Much anger in him, like his father."
"Do not underestimate the powers of the Emporer."
"He's got too much of his father in him."
"That's what I'm afraid of."
Those type of lines were already important for Luke's story, but now that the focus has shifted with the PT, they take on even more meaning.

Although, we do hear a few troo many of them. In the OT they appeared profound, but when we hear the blind-for-the-dark-side Jedi continually speak such lines, it gets kinda weak,.
Yoda really lost it with: "Around the survivors a perimeter make."
Those kinds of inconsistencies don't make me wince.

Yes, Paul... we all recognize the power of your devasting humor and clever wit. 😄
Twas a rather good setup though, if I do say so myself.
Good show, quite right.
Now that I've made it a rule to stay out of political/religious threads and just keep my beliefs as... well, MY beliefs... we might end up as forum comrades.
Or "if you could be turned, you would become a powerfull ally." 😈
