Many of my friends that are around my age, prefer the PT. The OT is slow and has dated special effects to them.
And yeah, ESB is kinda slow. But man, once you understand what Yoda is saying, those parts suddenly become your favorite. I used to tune them out when I was kid. Give me battles and action. But now that I'm older. I'm enthralled by Yoda's simple, profound wisdom. And Luke's hardheadedness. Lol That moment when you realize that us as kids are kinda disappointed by Yoda, like Luke is. We want the action and the lightsaber duels. And suddenly here's a character teaching Luke to peaceful and to be non-violent, that balks at the action and adventure, the thing we, as kids love.
I for one am going to start my kids on the OT. It will be interesting to see if it takes. See if my love for it will rub off.
