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.
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.
