I grew up watching star wars episodes 4, 5 and 6 and I feel these were the best of the star wars trilogy and a complete story in my opinion.

Episodes 4 and 5 were my favorites. Episode 6 was ok, I only liked the last 45 minutes of it.

I saw episodes 1, 2, and 3 and neither had a WOW factor to me. I saw each of those episodes ONLY ONCE.

I just saw the teaser trailer for star wars episode 7 on youtube and It didn't make me say, "WOW, I gotta see that movie". I felt nothing nor any interests towards it.

Maybe I just out grew it. What about you? Are you still a star wars fan? Or do you just have your favorites?

I liked them all although 4, 5,& 6 were better.
I still believe in the force I'm it!

4, 5, 6 = the way Star Wars should be, great actors and acting, great screenplay, etc.
1, 2, 3 = CGI garbage + Jar Jar

I could never bring myself to watch episode 3, so disappointed was I by 1 & 2. I doubt I shall watch any of the new ones either.

I also haven't seen any of the recent Star Trek movies.

I'm burned out on movie studios' doing the same thing over and over and over (I understand why they do--as long as there's one born every minutes, there will be someone there to take advantage of him). All they got any more is comedy drunks, romcoms, comic books, remakes, and "reboots."

If you're a trekkie, don't watch them. If you're not, then know that they have more action and less philosophy than many of the originals. Most of the original Star Trek episodes cannot keep me awake.

I enjoyed the television show (showing my age here), but I don't think I qualify as a Trekkie.

I enjoyed Perry Mason, too, but I never wanted to dress up in a suit and pretend to cross-examine witnesses.

Binx or was it binks? Never read the books.

Why not?

I agree. I also liked 4 and 5 most then followed by 6. For the story line, also the end of 3. But I have one major "readers don't digest" question. Eg: Obi-wan calls anakin only as Daaa..rth in his quavering old voice in the first released version. He also says Darth killed your father but never that he was luke's father (AFAIR these were added later).

I saw the trailer.

(1)Both Luke and "later" Anankin were first introduced as speed buffs on Tatooine. VII seems to be following the trend with a woman on a speeder (offspring of Leia and Han perhaps).
(2) A very recognizable Milleneum Falcon.

OK

star wars 7:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOVFvcNfvE

the video teaser looks a bit crap. It is nothing new to other movies of today.

Can't be worse than the last three prequels.
Not everything those Disney folks touch ends up being **** (still crossing my fingers though).

To me (and yes, I am dating myself ...) Star Wars was a movie. I waited in line along with everybody else to watch it ... on 35mm film stock ... in a single theater that had four aisles and a broad screen.

There was no "Episode IV." None of that text existed ... it hadn't been dreamed-up yet. No one at that time had known whether "swords and sorcery meets cowboys and indians in outer space" would even succeed. There were plenty of folks telling George Lucas that it wouldn't. He (and his financial backers) were taking one helluva chance.

Unfortunately for all of us, I think, George Lucas simply couldn't stop dicking with that movie: the original movie that I saw, complete with the distinct reddish color-cast of film stock at that time. It hadn't learned to be pretentious yet. It pushed the bar of special-effects farther than it had ever yet been pushed, right from the very first sequence where the bad guys came from behind the audience. (Even though the effects might seem passé in today's digital world, none of those effects were ... nor could be ... "digital." The state of computer-graphics at that time was reflected in the small Tektronix-display sequence that appears when they're showing the weakness of the Death Star, and also briefly in a fighter's on-board display.)

Ever since that time, George & Co. not only became more-and-more pretentious, they also kept re-cutting and "dicking with" the movie ... even to the point where Han Solo not only "actually meets" Jabba the Hutt, but actually "actually meets" him twice, for no more good reason than George had a couple of out-takes.

If Disney ever does anything good with the Star Wars franchise, I hope that they will re-release the original film-cuts, including one that is "not color-corrected." (Folks don't realize today that films in those days used set-colors and costume-colors that took the Kodachrome film-profile into account.) Just give me on a plastic disc exactly what I saw as a kid, with all the "George Dicky" removed from it.

(P.S. here I use the phrase "dicking with it" not intending it to be a vulgar expression, and I hope it will be duly taken as intended. Substitute "meddling, only worse.")

Where is Ronald Reagan when you need him ... ?

3 is definitely the best of the newer three. I found it surprisingly good considering how disapointing episode one, especially, turned out to be.
Three is about the downfall of anakin, it has a great mythic feel to it and sets anakin up for his later redemption by his son.

I have to say though, at the age of 60 i still watch them occaisionally and have probably seen all six at least three times and my favorites more than that A lot more

great replies from all.

Even though, star wars episodes 4, 5 and 6 was good enough for me and a complete story, I might watch #7 out of curiosity ONLY if movie critics give it a positive review. But. I won't see it in the theatre, I'll just wait for it on DVD.

Some of the most well known ugly hacks:
(1) In the original Han shoots Greedo - the bounty hunter - first and later it was sanitized to seem that Greedo shot first.
(2) The space port had more CGI generated detail in later releases.
(3) The meeting with Jabba in the space dock was fully inserted.

OK
