The prequel trilogy for me.
I grew up w. them, and though I was never a huge fan, they were a huge part of my childhood, they had one of my favorite fictional characters ever in Han Solo (and Chewie, and Lando...), and when Kevin Smith hit the scene, his love of the trilogy made a connection w. me and made me appreciate those movies more.

It's kind of accepted that the OT is untouchable, it's mythic and beyond debate in a way. So that's why I didn't include it here.
I was just interested after all the years of Lucas bashing, George Lucas raped my childhood blah blah, Lucas is the problem he should leave it to others - now we've seen a whole trilogy done without him.
Have to say I'm amazed at the poll results so far. The Prequels have entered happy nostalgia territory!
Jar Jar Binks for the next New Republic leader! 😛
George Lucas did some serious technical groundbreaking for the PT, and all films since have benefited from the innovations, from the digital 24fps camera that shoots something that looks like film, digital sets and characters etc. But no one has imitated the look of the PT since, where film by film he was increasingly shooting actors on a greenstage and just painting the movie around them later. The ST, Marvel films, and others have had a better balance of live action shooting and CGI. AOTC and ROTS are increasing looking like animated movies as the years go by.

Yes they have. Trek 09, Infinity War and Aquaman all stole shots from TPM.
Peter Jackson himself has stated LOTR would not have been possible without TPM.
That movie inspired film making for generations whether people want to admit it or not.
On the other hand as far as I can tell The only only thing TFA has influenced in movies is films like Dark Fate. Making it cool to do a remake of the original and a sequel in one.
Although Superman Returns did that first tbh.

You made me realise that I'd rather watch Superman Returns than two thirds of the sequel trilogy. You monster.
