Finished up the trilogy last night with Return of the Jedi. I watched them episode 1-6 order. If I could go back I would do the 4-5-2-3-6 order. Episode one is not a good movie and it is a terrible Star Wars movie. It is boring and adds nothing to the overall story. I honestly can't say I liked any of the prequels. The third one was the best of the three, but still mediocre.
I have the Blu-rays of the original trilogy and, for the most part, they look great. Well, except for the garbage cgi added later by Lucas. Most of the time it is distracting and completely unnecessary. A 5 second shot of the exterior of Jabbas palace? Better add a creature in the foreground doing something stupid or the audience might get bored and stop watching. That's how a lot of the prequels felt to me, just a barrage of poorly thought out cgi.
