I think that any further Star Wars movies that come out won't ever capture the magic of the first three, unless they take place, chronologically, afterwards. We already know what happens. Anything that takes place before the original movie is a sci-fi history lesson, or else a trivia barrage for devotees of the original story.
I enjoyed the Phantom Menace, but then again I'm a weirdo who goes to see movies for entertainment. I wasn't wowed by it, but it was a good way to spend an afternoon. Still, I have played Star Wars RPG sessions that were more dramatic, more engrossing, and way more exciting. (It was especially exciting when two other players were having an argument by the reactor core of Star Destroyer. One was threatening to blow the ship to hell if the other didn't apologize for a callous remark. My character, a wanted felon, had fled with various crew members after the ship was ordered abandoned (it was doomed to explode anyway, the only question was when...) and wound up sitting at a shuttle, having lost his chance for a lifepod. Poor me, I had no "shuttle pilot" skill...) I recommend the Star Wars RPG, particularly if you're lucky enough to have a creative GM.
