I agree Star Wars Episode III was great, and it had a hint of what made the original trilogy great.

Episode II was okay and still find it enjoyable enough, but Episode I was disappointing in hindsight. Darth Maul and the lightsaber duel remains pretty cool though. I went to the premiere in London for that movie, so that has a special place. The first also has the funny distinction of being the movie I saw the most times in the movie theatre; including the 3D version two years ago, six times! I've seen III four times in the theatre.

Wow that's a lot of times for episode 1 in theaters! I loved watching it as a child, but it absolutely hasn't aged well since I've become older. Episode 3 has gotten better since I was a kid, in contrast.
