you are looking at the OT through the rose colored glasses of your childhood....it wasn't that great, it was just different than anything else.
The ESB, however, was a great film, no question.

When Ep3 was released on DVD I watched the entire saga chronologically, starting with Ep1.
I'm sure many of you did the same.
What struck me the most was how much better the PT was when viewed as one film. And what impressed me the most was how good the OT actually is. I mean, in every single aspect, from the believability of special effects to acting and character development, the OT is superior in every single way to any PT film.
Sure the OT is corny. And how is the PT less corny exactly?
By the way I voted ESB. That's a no brainer. But Ep4 is still better then Ep3.
