    the best Sci-Fi story ever made!

    For some extremely loose definition of science fiction. Star Wars had fiction but no science. It is sword and sorcery in space.

    I always thought that the original trilogy was like that anyway. R2D2 was kinda "cute" and there mostly for comic relief, paired with an effeminate straight man in the form of C3PO. Then there were the Ewocks. The whole first movie was a typical Disney-esq coming of age yarn.

    Does anyone need to see the Anakin movies (Ep 1-3) to understand the Luke movies (Ep 4-6)?

    Quite the reverse really. There are several points of emotional significance in 1-3 which are utterly meaningless if not confusing without having first seen 3-6.
