I hated episode 1. I think why I hate it more is because I was all pumped up and excited to see it. The commercials were sweet, everything looked awesome. Then I see it and I keep saying to myself, "O.k., I hope this starts to pick up and stop being lame Disney crap...oh, wait, nope that IS a two-headed announcer..."
Anyway, by the time episode 2 came out, all my expectations had gone right down the toilet and I had no expectations. With that, I actually thought episode 2 wasn't bad. Anyway, Lucas has lost his mind and I am sure that episode 3 will be entertaining enough... Just like Mantis, I also remember seeing Jedi in the theater and nothing will beat those films. I don't even bother comaring the two sets of films anymore, there is no point.
One interesting point though is that there IS a whole generation of kids who haven't really seen the originals and they love the new films. A couple of years ago at my school all the 4th graders were doing backflips about episode 2. You know that there is something really lasting about that childhood nostalgia and those kids will love those films probably forever. Just like us older kids love the original trilogy. And along with gubi-gubi I don't care much for the 'new' versions either. As I read on a gamefaqs poll "Greedo shoots first? Not on MY dvds!!"
