For me the real shame is knowing that complete Star Wars newbies would logically start from the 'beginning' with the prequels. But when they get to episodes IV to VI they will be all "wtf is going on here" and will therefore never experience Star Wars the way we all got to.
I love them too but I can't deny that they, along with some of the jabba's palace creatures, were the first sign of what was to come in the prequels.

I honestly can't blame Lucas for retiring. I love Star Wars. Hate a lot of the changes but in the end it is his baby. It's his choice to…
The whole trilogy did a second run at the cinema in the UK in consecutive years, so I was lucky enough to see them all on the big screen - it was absolutely epic. A few years later the first set of 'remastered' versions hit the cinema, so I got to see them too. I remember the audio in the remastered versions being much…
