You realize you're missing RotS, right? And I like the Prequel Trilogy, too. My top 5 goes ESB = AotC, RotS, ANH, PM, RotJ. PT ranks higher for me probably because I actually had the chance to anticpate them as new releases and watch them in theatres and stuff. I dunno, it's all part of one big saga for me, and I love it all.
These massive Star Wars purity enthusiasts are pretty damn crazy. Like Mark Twitchell, the guy who embarked on a pretty ambitious project to create a Star Wars sequel that was more true to the original trilogy after being disgusted by the PT. It was called "Star Wars: Secrets of the Rebellion" and he even got Jeremy Bulloch to star in it (Jeremy Bulloch played Boba Fett in the OT btw). Here's the YouTube video of Twitchell's project:

Anyways, Twitchell is now in jail - he lured a man named Johnny Altinger through an online dating service to a dark garage, tortured him until he revealed his Facebook and computer passwords, murdered him (the body has never been found), and then updated all his e-mail and FB info to give off the impression that Altinger hadn't been murdered but rather met a woman named Jen and moved to Costa Rica.

So, long story short, OT purists are fucking insane.
