The way I personally would rank the Star Wars saga are as follows (also keep in mind that I didn't "grow up" with the original 3, so they didn't have that sentimental/childhood value to me)
1) Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith 2) Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 3) Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi 4) Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope 5) Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones 6) Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Here's mine
Empire A New Hope Sith Jedi Clones Menace
The fx in the prequels are truly amazing but I think GL got obsessed with the FX and built a story around them. I got very tired of seeing air traffic on every scene on Corasant. Ewan M saved the entire PT and is a fantastic charactor in the entire saga, and Yoda was great in Sith. The story suffered and felt rushed in Sith. Vader is a tragic charactor which we all knew, but he ended up becoming pathetic.
The real question now is, In what order will you introduce these films to your children?
