I like Attack of the Clones quite a bit more than Revenge and oceans more than Menace. To each their own. In general, they're all sh*t compared to the OT. George Lucas falling in love with CGI is pretty much the worst thing that ever happened to Star Wars imo, and that includes his revisions of the OT. I'm extremely thankful I bought the original cuts when they were released in the duel set on DVD. I would recommend watching 4,5,6 and then go see 7. At which point you can go back and watch 1, 2 and 3. In with yah with the originals on DVD. I grabbed them when they had a short release for them and will not buy any blu Rays until it's the originals.

Yes! Yes he did! And that is the only reason why I kept my VHS set of the Trilogy. lol And I would watch the original trilogy. As for the prequils the last one was good. Not so much for the first two of the prequils.

My buddy has been watching all 6 movies because his GF has never seen them. He showed her the prequels first and they both say they like the prequels more than the originals. He also says that you HAVE to watch the prequels before the originals because "you wouldnt know anything about the characters or stories if you didn't." It bugs me. But for my advice: watch the originals and forget the prequels exist.

You could still enjoy the new one, without watching the others. But you'll likely get a far greater experience, and understand it better, having seen it's predecessors.
Empire Strikes Back is one of the greatest sequels of all time. And Jedi is a damn fine film as well. A New Hope is overrated nonsense, and the prequels are predominantly shit. But in all, it's an epic story, for certain characters, that everyone should witness at some point.

The DVD versions were non anamorphic which pissed off fans

I say watch them as they were released meaning watch 4 then 5 and 6, after that if you loved the franchise and want more lore then watch the prequels. They get way too much hate but there was great stuff in there despite the problems and even the original films aren´t perfect or even that great to begin with. They are fun films, hope you enjoy them.

Hopefully Disney will release the original unaltered theatrical versions on Blu-Ray. The DVD versions were non anamorphic which pissed off fans I've heard one of the reasons they haven't done it yet is due to Licas nearly destroying the original prints after decades of going back and messing with them. In hoping Disney can restore them.

Currently re-watching them (started earlier). Only this time, I thought I'd change it up and watch them in story order.
I personally love all six films. Some more than others, some scenes more than others... but all in all an enjoyable saga.

You should definitely watch episodes 4-6 before watching the new one. The prequels are ok, but non-essential. Then again I'm in my forties, so I'm biased toward the original trilogy.

The prequels are awful for the most part, outside of some cool character moments. Not essential viewing unless you're a die hard fan.
OT is great. New Hope is a fun film, but the series really picks up with Empire

When the prequels were going to come out I bought into the Hype and I went out and saw the originals to try and better understand the franchise. I remember thinking the first film, Episode 4, was incredibly boring. I didnt see why people loved the movie so much. The second film, Episode 5, was much better. But then the third movie, Episode 6, was just cheese with lots of muppets.
And then the prequels. I saw the first prequel with the Jar Jar character and I hated it. That's when I gave up on the franchise. The movies were either too boring or too cheesy or too childish for me.
I don't get why Star Wars is so popular to be honest. I think if I do see the new movies it will be if im very bored and out of things to watch and I find it at redbox.
I'll go ahead and add that I CAN NOT WAIT, until the movie comes out so that maybe finally Target will no longer have a Star Wars section in their Holiday/Seasonal isles of the stores. Im sick of seeing Star Wars there, it's been up since before Halloween.

...surely for anyone new to the whole Star Wars saga, it's best to watch the original trilogy first, followed by the prequels - if you start in Episode order (ie. the prequels first), it would spoil a HUGE scene/plot-point in Empire...(!)

4-6 is all you need to watch. If you watch any of the prequels just watch Revenge of the Sith. Its cluttered with terrible CGI but its the best of the prequels.

I just gave all three prequels a chance today and watched them all. Haven't seen them in years, and I have to say, I really enjoyed them. If you can stand the CGI (which I don't mind so much) they're pretty decent

Come on the prequels aren't bad they have some of the best light-saber fights.
