The new DVDs are amazing. As I said before, it seems they were made last year, and not almost 30 years ago. They are a must-have for any movie fan.
The legacy of the prequels, and even some in the Star Wars saga, rests in Episode III. Ep. II was an improvement on I but that's not saying much. There were parts of the first two that were worlds better than the Original Trilogy, such as the fight sequences and special effects. But the OT remains supreme.
If Lucas hits a grand slam with Ep. III and equals Empire Strikes Back, then everyone will forget about Episodes I and II and the Star Wars legacy will be saved. But if he fizzles a la Episode I, I may have to try to convince myself that the prequels never happened.
