I caved and got the 40th legacy set, it's such a good Darth Vader. The sculpt is stronger, the cape material is heftier, and the joints are easier to work with.

Regarding the prequels, there are actually a few things I like from them. The BEST thing is easily John Williams' score for all three, he ventured into operatic territory and it payed off. Even the super crappy AotC romance had this beautiful music which is the only thing that can keep me going through those scenes. I liked Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan as especially by RotS he felt like the young version of this character we knew from the originals. Liam Neeson, Samuel L Jackson, and Christopher Lee were all cool even if they didn't get enough screentime. The casting had some great bright spots surrounded by mediocrity and poor writing. Finally, of course, the prequels did deliver some solid action. The pod race as a spectacle, the duel of fates, and the battle of the heroes all stand out to me.

As someone who grew up watching the classic unedited trilogy (thanks VHS) I would rank all current SW movies from best to worst as:
ESB (need I say more?)
ANH (when you can't be first place you're second)
TFA (for its many flaws I feel it was the most Star Wars movie since the OT)
ROTJ (Ewoks almost ruin the back half of this one for me, also special edition...)
R1 (I liked the gritty approach even if the whole thing was a plothole plug)
ROTS (the first half meanders and Hayden Christensen is dull but the back half was pretty cool)
AOTC (less Jar Jar than TPM)
TPM (Jar Jar and kid Ani, nuff said)
TCW (2008 movie, don't think I've forgotten this monstrosity)
Holiday Special (why not chuck this in too?)
