OK, don't want to insult anyone here or anything, but I recently rewatched the original trilogy and I must say that I never laughed so much at a supposed to be serious movie. Darth Vader is such a laughable villain in the first three movies, it's not even funny. His quotes are golden and some of his actions just don't make sense. He didn't sound bad at all. Also, Han Solo is the main character, f the rest.

I must say the original movies had a certain charm though, and I think The Phantom Menace was the only new Star Wars movie to keep that same charm. The podrace was magical, and just the environment on Tatooine and the space battles were pretty cool and the sword fights were a lot better than in the originals (obviously, but I mean at least they didn't make them Jedis look like ninjas compared to SW2 and SW3!). I loved how young Anakin was such a little badass too!

I rate this one a nice 7/10. Only good prequel IMO. The other two are like the last two Matrix movies: filled with unnecessary love scenes and too much CG.
