However the Internet available "despecialized" hd versions of the original trilogy are a magic work of art.

I misread this as "despicableized" and had images of minions swarming around Darth Vader.
I've discovered Revenge of the Sith is fun if you root for evil.
I will admit that the opening fight with Christopher Lee was fun in the third movie.
What with Padme spending most of the movie sitting in her apartment wringing her hands, RotS was when I discovered George Lucas' kids must have come from the stork, because clearly he has never met a pregnant woman.
Despite Phantom Menace's badness, the Duel of the Fates still blows my mind. That is some amazing-looking swordplay.
I know almost nothing about the last three Star Wars movies. M. and I went to see one of them, and I was so bored all I can remember is teenagers whining (Phantom Menace?), and then M. fell asleep and started snoring, and we decided to leave. That's the only movie I've ever walked out of the theater on. It was so bad.
I thought little Anakin was cute. He was no more whiny than Luke. I don't remember much about Clones, and there were touches in the third one I liked.

I would pay big money to see this version.
I do not like little anakin. To be fair I don't like a new hope Luke much either but a least he has slightly better dialog to work with and a much more relatable story.
It's easy, watching Phantom Menace, to think "Yep, could lose this without any problem, cut all of the Jar-Jar stuff, this doesn't really matter..."
The only thing the movie really does is introduce Anakin and Padme and set up Palpatine's power grab.
