Episode I was my first Star Wars as well. I never understood the hype about the series until I saw the original trilogy some years later and realised that it was just fucking awesome.
The original Star Wars was just a masterpiece of story telling, especially Empire. I wouldn't call all of the acting great but that didn't matter in the end, it was an enduring classic because of the story it told and how it told it.
The prequel trilogy on the other hand had, to me at least and I know to others, a fairly bland story. All the bitching about Jar Jar Binks and the actors who played Anakin aren't getting at the fundamental flaw of the prequel trilogy.
So yeah, my opinion they had the right two movies on the list. I would have had them the other way around personally though.
Edit: @Reasonable. Where did you get your definition of science fiction from? To my understanding all it requires is fiction with technology beyond our current capabilities. Whether it incorporates fantasy as well, as Star Wars does, doesn't really matter.
