Well I have to admit that, better effects aside, The Phantom Menace was certainly nothing to write home about, but A New Hope was absolutely classic! And The Empire Strikes Back was brilliant, because the bad guys kinda win. Return of the Jedi, while pretty crappy on the whole Ewok business, no self respecting Imperial Commander would ever lose to a bunch of teddy bears, was good as well.
It's interesting though, as I've heard it said that The Matrix is the Star Wars for the current generation. The characters and mythology of Star Wars is so ingrgained in my generation, and The Matrix is doing something similar for yours. True or not I don't know, but it is an interesting thought.
And Star Wars did the huge parades in front of the Emperor over 15 years before PJ did it in TTT, just as a comment.
