It&#39;s funny how the prequels made things so confusing that now the DVD box calls the original film "Star Wars Episode I: A New Hope". In the early days, that movie was just called "Star Wars". That was all there was to it. There were probably ten people on Earth in 1977 who could have told you what "A New Hope" is, even though "Star Wars" had quickly become the most popular movie of all time.

As far as I&#39;m concerned, there were only two great Star Wars movies-- Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. Return of the Jedi was fairly good, but it was a bit too mushy. I think the prequels were a disgrace and an insult.

i won&#39;t say i didn&#39;t enjoy the prequels, but they definately weren&#39;t as good as the original...
