As a prequel Hater, I took several years to tell myself the movies were weak.
the final blow was ROTS.

But I did buy the phantom Menace DVD and later in a Video Rent store, Attack of the clones at a reduced price.
I rented ROTS to hear the commentaries, and was glad they annoyed me.

recently I sold Episode I and II to a friend at a nice reduced prize.

So my question is, as prequel haters, do you have the PT DVD's?

I don't have the money to buy them. Something happened to the ROTS DVD I had, so I will have to buy another one someday.

I'll buy them when the price is worth the money they got from me when I bought a ticket. So, if they'll pay me to take them ...

If I can get all three for really cheap, I might.
Apparently writing about JM here is his secret weakness. Muwahaha!!!! Now I have leverage over him and am another step closer towards my goal of world domination.

I got TPM on VHS because I didn't yet have a DVD player, and sold that with a bunch of other old VHS tapes to a place that's now out of business (maybe the tape was cursed?) I haven't thought about getting any of the PT DVDs, maybe only if there's a big assed box set with lots of extras, and even then I'd wait for a thorough review.I'm really surprised Lucas didn't take a cue from Peter Jackson and release two movies, one being the summer blockbuster with the bare bones story for the average movie goer, and a second bigger extended cut on DVD for the superfan like the LOTR movies. Maybe he didn't have enough story to do such a stretching out.

Nope. I've contemplated buying them if I can find them in the $7.99 bin, but other than that - no chance.

I bought my TPM DVD secondhand just so I could have it argue points with my gusher friends. I got AOTC because I actually believed for a little bit that it was better than TPM, and to discuss it with my gusher friends, but after watching it only once (and skipping scenes mind you), I could not watch it again.

I have not bought the ROTS DVD, and I never will. I learned my lesson, and I had enough. I would get rid of my TPM & AOTC, but I'm just the type not to do that. They are now at the bottom of a box in a closet of things I don't use/watch/read/etc. anymore....

Not really, no. I would only get them to refresh my memory so that I can argue better.
If I could get the set for dirt cheap ... well that is the only way.

Well put.

The top menu for the OT dvds seems a little less jarring than I recall of the AOTC rental.

I got them so that when the super special dvd box set comes out later with new and improved crap added to it - i will at least hate the original PT. I learned my lesson with the OT - not that they ever came out on dvd unaltered. I guess I could have scavanged for a vcr and hung on to my old vhs tapes. How was I to know?

Plus when I walk by my dvd stand I can scowl at it and remember how much I want to see GL held responsible for being a total fuckhead. A public disembowelment would do nicely.

EVERYONE. Do this if you haven't already.

Get the highest quality VHS or Laserdisc of the original versions of ANH, ESB, and ROTJ you can find, and copy them to DVD.

Then, have someone drop a flower pot on your head, so when you wake up, you will not know about the special editions or prequels, and when you get home you will find a nice set of 3 timeless masterpieces waiting for you.
