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.

Ive watched them for the reasons i sometimes listen to lightning bolt and backspacer

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

Yes, but its the best analogy i could come up with

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.

I get it. I just needed to hear you say it.

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

ROTS is not good.

Spoiler: show

BETTER THAN TFA THOUGH
