Oh, I'm not trying to fault you or anything.

I just wish there were more people like me around -- who had watched the prequels first. The few that I've talked to have ended up loving both the PT and the OT.

Sometimes I think one of the reasons the prequels don't work for a lot of people is because Lucas created them to be watched first when the vast majority of the audience had already seen the OT. Don't have any evidence to back that up, of course. It's just a feeling I get.

The idea of an order, or even a series, seems to be something that Lucas came up with long after he made A New Hope, or simply Star Wars as the people that are of age with me know it as. Even New Hope wasn't the movie he first started to make when you see some of the original stuff that got thrown out. Have you seen the original character descriptions?

Fair play to you, what ever order you enjoy them in yourself. Watch that. I just found the Machette Order to make the most sense and be the most enjoyable for myself. Probably even someone out there who enjoys starting with 6 and working backwards.

Only going to get worse when the new movies come out too.

I actually agree with you that a lot of the distaste for them comes from most fans having watched the OT first. The characters and setting were something we were already familiar with, to the point of it being really incredibly ingrained in the fan-culture consciousness, so the deviation from that was really, really jarring - the new films were a prequel, so obviously things were going to be different, but they felt really separated from the OT in a way that made them not seem to fit if you watch them in the realease order.

IDK, I watched the OT first, or at least New Hope and Return, but young enough that I really don't think I was too swayed by them - I mean, I also loved the heck out of Phantom Menace when it first came out. I think I must have watched the New Hope and Return and bits and pieces of Empire around when the special editions were coming out in 97 (when I would have been 7) and then Phantom Menace when it came out in 99 when it came out when I was 9. I remember my 12 year old self also enjoying the heck out of Attack of the Clones when it came out in 2002. It was only looking back at them in retrospect, sometime between 2002 and 2005, that I came to the conclusion that they weren't very good. It must have been in that period, because I remember going into the theater for Sith being very dubious about it, but even then I really enjoyed Sith when I was in the theater.

So I don't think it's a problem, for me at least, of my mind being poisoned by the original films. I think I just don't like the prequels very much and I think the original trilogy is better, looking back on them with the critical eyes that I have now.
