I honestly must say..I enjoyed the entire SW franchise. Im only 21, so I may not be able to appreciate the quality of the first three releases as opposed to the prequels. I must say that the sequels (first releases) were quite awesome, especially for its time. I also really really enjoyed episodes 1-3 as well (maybe because I'm only 21). But you gotta admit, even though you may have not enjoyed the prequels (those who hated them), it did explain the origins of the sequels the best way possible. Its not as if this was based off of a comic or game and was a cheesy rip-off.
