I'm 34 years old and grew up with the Original Trilogy, I've been on this ride since the beginning, 1977! I have always loved the films, the characters, environments, technology the WHOLE Star Wars universe. Years later Lucas would open up his world even more, in 1997 the special editions hit theaters. I tell ya I wasn't disappointed, I love seeing Jabba move, the windows in Cloud City, the much more menacing sarlacc (Well to me anyways, I never found the big anus in the dessert all that threatening) I could go on. Point is I love the OT each and every version, the 2004 DVD's are my personnel favorite. But soon Lucas would opened up his universe even WIDER!!!

Enter 1999, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, then in 2002 Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, I've loved these films since the first time I've seen them. I will admit, back then if I had too put the films in order these two made up the last two spots (not any more) on my list......that is until 2005, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, came out and did the impossible, it beat out both A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back as the #1 Star Wars film, in my book. To quote myself, "This film (ROTS) is, for lack of a better word, brilliant! I was speechless, moved, it was everything I could have hoped for in a Star Wars movie, hell any movie. Not only was it arguably the best film, it made all the others better as well." Made all the others better.....thats an understatement. About a year ago I finally did a marathon, and it was at that moment I really understood the total brilliance of the Prequel Trilogy. From that time both Episodes I & II have been rising up on my personnel favorite chart. Like I said, I've ALWAYS loved these films, but in this past year I haven't been able to get enough of them. By doing a marathon I seen SO many connections, both big and small, I saw them in a new light, the brilliance, detail, heart and soul that Lucas put into them. Now as the years progress I find myself much more engaged with the rich, deep story and characters of the PT. Yes, even over the OT. With that said I love all six films and I really don't see them as two trilogies, but one six part saga. I just happen to find the first half (I,II &III) of the Saga to have more meaning, more depth.

Well done! Thank you George!

STAR WARS IS FOREVER!
