To be honest, I was first introduced to Star Wars with the original trilogy. My family was watching it, but I wasn't interested. I walked in on The Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader and his stormtroopers were invading Hoth. I was hooked, but only with Vader and the troopers. Later, after watching the original trilogy many times, I loved them.

The prequels, I had issues with, mainly with what you pointed out - the cheesy dialogue, the romance, and the bad acting. The clones were what interesting me, so much, that they were and still are my favorite characters in the movies. Everytime you see clones on the screen, they are looking cool and kicking tail. After watching The Clone Wars, I have since rewatched the prequel movies, and find that they are definitely more enjoyable when you ignore all the bad parts.

Excellent post Blyndblitz. I totally agree with everything you said. Not sure why they put the romance in there though. Perhaps cause the original trilogy had romance? Dunno.
