I grew up with 1, 2 and 3.
I honestly prefer them as a result.
4, 5 and 6 are great too, but the other three are like.. my childhood.
2 and 3 are by far my favourite episodes of the lot.
Let's be honest, 6 was horrendously overrated and I literally want to punch every Ewok I see.
Ohhh, okay, that's understandable then. I thought you said 1 was your favorite. I grew up mostly with 2 and 5 so I understand how much of an impact that has on perceived impact.
At least we agree on our number one.
The movie I always watched when I was sick and wanted to watch Star Wars was always 2, because while we had 4, 5, and 6, using the VCR and rewinding and all that is a pain in the ass. I know that lots of people like 6, but I thought it was awful, maybe I need to have a Star Wars marathon.

^^ Someone gets it!
And 1 ruined the entire series because I literally wanted to punch Jar Jar the whole movie :P
I do feel bad for the kid who played anakin (his name escapes me). He got so much abuse for playing Anakin in that movie (which a lot of people hated) that he quit acting and gets angry at the mention of star wars

I dont think it was Overrated. It definitely wasn't the best but id still put it ahead of the prequels (maybe with 3 on par)
But... I love Jar Jar! He is my favorite all because of the comedic relief!
4-6 are awful and just people with rose tinted glasses say they are good. 1-3 were the best, especially because of stuff like this:
Celtic's order is the correct order.
Also, I loved my life-sized Ewok I had as a little kid. (The movie came out when I was 2. I think I got it later in the year closer to the age of 3)

I disagree about the Original Trilogy. It was just an awesome overall story. And it wasn't as focused on special effects as the prequel trilogy was.
Ill agree the prequel trilogy definitely had its moments but the Original was the best IMO.
And lol as Qui-Gon: Worst Jedi ever I quite liked Liam Neeson as a jedi.
Ep. 1 should have been cut up to where 80-90% of the movie was skipped through or altered. The beginning of Ep. 2 should have been during Ep. 1 with the younger Anikan. The middle of Ep. 2 and all of Ep. 3 should have been the second movie, minus the end of Ep. 3. Anikan and ObiWan should have had two fights. One at the end of Ep. 2 resulting in a draw, and one at the end of Ep. 3 ending the same way as on Musafar. I would have loved to see an entire movie of Lord Vader in non robotic form hunting down Jedi instead of a 10-15 minute tidbit of it. 2000% better. FACT
