I saw TPM four times in the theater and at least twice that I can remember on home video/dvd.

I saw whatever the second one is called twice in the theater and once on TV.

I saw Revenge of the Sith once in theaters. And that's it. And that was its final week of release.

Not trying to sound like a jerk, but I'm surprised at the number of people in this thread who have informed opinions about those movies. I watched them once, saw they were garbage, and tried my best to jettison them from the Star Wars portion of my brain.
Well, I saw them all multiple times, so I feel my opinion is informed.

Ive seen them all multiple times. I can barely stomach them but there are some very minor fun things. I think i used to just put them on in the background while i was jerking off or something?

I really disliked Ep 1 after I watched it. I did the whole wait in line for tickets and then wait in line for seats thing, friends dressed up and brought light sabers, the whole nine. It was a fun experience but the movie was awful. I saw it a second time in the theater because 1) I'd already bought tickets to a screening two days later because one of my good friends couldn't go to opening night and I promised I'd see it with him when he could go. It was like 10:45 am on Saturday or something and 2) I really wanted to watch it again with all hype and expectations removed to see if it made the film better.

I saw it a third time because one of my acting teachers refused to even see it and I wanted to discuss it with her, so I took her and her young daughter to a screening.

I saw it a fourth time because it was leaving theaters and I wanted to give it one final shot.

As far as Ep 2 goes, I liked it more than Ep 1 the first time around so I decided to see it again toward the end of it's theatrical release. Even then it hadn't aged well. I watched it on TV or whatever because I was at a friend's house and everyone wanted to watch it.

Ep 3 is probably the one I like the most. But obviously not that much because I've only seen it once.

Lightning Bolt and Backspacer are way better albums than the prequels are films, though.

Backspacer is amazing.


You guys should watch revenge of the sith again. It's worthy of being called a Star Wars film. And is certainly more enjoyable and nowhere near as annoying as the other two.

So you can jerk off while they play in the background?
I can jerk off pretty much any time.

Huh? I said your opinion was informed. That's what's surprising to me -- that you guys have watched them enough to have created informed opinions.
Oh, I misunderstood.

Sometimes when I really hate something I have to watch it a few more times just to figure out exactly how much I hate it.

I just watched it this past weekend, dime. I stand by my rankings though. And RotS is taken down a huge notch for me because of Hayden. TPM -> RotS -------------------> AotC
