By the time Return of the Jedi came out I was old enough that the Ewoks kind of annoyed me, and I thought Harrison Ford was reading off cue cards like he didn't want to be there; so Phantom Menace didn't rape my childhood or anything like that. It was one of the worst things I've ever seen, though. I loved Star Wars and Empire as a kid.

I'm actually enjoying <I>The Clone Wars</I> CGI cartoon (and really loved the 2D animation version before it).

I'm afraid I have to agree with Siskoid above and say that I thought Revenge of the Sith was by far the worst, perhaps because of how totally it fumbled what should have been the emotional impact of events turning out the way we knew they would, on top of all that was bad about all three. I agree, though, that it hasn't changed my enjoyment of the originals. Or wouldn't, if Lucas hadn't gone back and fiddled with those, as well. Thoughtful and insightful.

Sith, though the best received (DENIAL!!!), is probably the worst. Everything is so overwrought... Thanks for the retrospective 10 years on!

Stepin Fetchit or no, it does take the viewer right out of the movie. Jar Jar *was* pretty bad. Stepin Fetchit or no, it does take the viewer right out of the movie.

I thought only spoiled little children did things like that.
