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.
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."

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.

Actually my fiancee thinks that Episode 1 is the best SW movie, because it has the greatest fun factor for her. Though she thinks that Jar-Jar is very cute.

Saying that, my partner has never seen a Star Wars film, and I'm not really up to showing it to her, as a fear I may have slightly overrated it. Still has a nice taste in films though.
