I'm begging you, please watch the original trilogy properly. Obviously the best place to do so is in the cinema (they are spectacular on a big screen) but the second best place would be on a decent sized TV screen with a good home sound system and no other distractions.

They are worth your time, I promise.

After you've watched the original trilogy, I don't care if you proceed further, but I can't bear the idea that your only experience of Star Wars is Episode I. It's a horror that will keep me up at night. :)
