Oh yeah, I do like the Star Wars prequels. Phantom Menace is a bit infantile, but Attack of the Clones sits firmly between Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, and Revenge of the Sith sits between Jedi and SW, in terms of quality. TPM is right there with Jedi, and was a blast both times I saw it in theaters. Duel of the Fates was one of the best fights of the franchise, and the pod race is unmatched in terms of chase/race scenes (only really going up against the speeder chase in Jedi, the car chase in Clones, and maybe one other? And seeing Palpatine as a not-villain but knowing the truth about him? All good all around.
