Episode 1: Could have started in Episode II and would barely miss a beat, only good part of it was the action scenes, the final battle was done very nicely.

Episode 2: Watch the first 10 minutes, mostly fast-forward through the time between the ship explosion and then continue to watch the battle of Geonosis.

Episode 3: Certainly the best of the prequels, like it almost as much as some of the ones in the Original Trilogy, first Star Wars movie I ever saw, duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin was probably best part of the prequels.

Duel between Obi-wan and Vader in ep4 takes the cake. But I did like Duel of the Fates music in ep1. :)

Actually, I was serious there - I much preferred that kind of slow, tense action to super kung-fu panda.

Luke versus Vader in RotJ is my personal favorite. The Obi-Vader fight is too slow for me. But I've seen an edited version by Adywan that really improved it.

More like emotional and suspenseful (the OT duels) to fake flashiness (ep3) I think.

I agree that the prequel duels seemed flashy, especially compared with the suspense of the original duels. As for the rest of the 3D prequels? It doesn't affect me, as I likely wasn't going to see them anyway. I don't like paying to watch a movie I already own on DVD.

They are postponing them, not canceling. They will probably make them after episode 7.

As for lightsaber duels I think slow and suspensful is good but, flashiness is to. It needs to be more of a mix of the two would be the best. None of them are really perfect. The closest is Obi-wan vs Anikan, and Darth Vader vs luke.

Well, if they cancel them, I might be one of the few really saddened by this fact. I am looking forward to seeing them, actually. Saw Episode I, was not really impressed, but that's OK, I knew that Episode 2 and 3 had much more to show. Not to speak of the original trilogy in 3D. Oh, man, AT-ATs in 3D, would love that!

As for the prequels, I love them. I wonder why people always complain about the prequels being flawed when the original trilogy was flawed as well. Yeah, Anakin was a whining little punk - but so was Luke. And, in all honesty, I can't stand the Ewoks, while the whole Jar-Jar thing just irritates me. At least the Gungans are fully sentient specie that can handle 'modern' technology and does not defeat the best of the best in the Galaxy - just some cheap droid army.

But, yeah, one thing from the prequels I hated young Anakin and the whole pointless podracing sequence. Boy, minor quests in World of Warcraft tell a story much more deserving to be filmed that THAT trash.

I would also be saddened.
