Yep.

Honestly, I think a lot of people's problems with the prequels was that what they saw didn't fit their imagintion. It's kind of like a problem with casting movies based on books, where a lot of it is based on your imagination, except everyone generally imagined Darth Vader to have a badass personality with variations within that and Lucas throwing a curveball.

And that is the problem with prequels in general. People have this imagination of what happened and showing them exactly what happened is going to be completely different, and as such, they dislike it.

It's not like the acting in the originals were all that stellar either.

Like I have said, there are things I find in the prequels that redeem them. The Darth Maul fight with Duel of Fates playing. The marching of the clone armies in the second movie and Anakin slaughtering the Sand people. In the third movie I love the music to the opening battle, the Order 66 scenes, the opera scene between Palpatine and Anakin (not to mention it is the only time in the prequels that truly builds on the mythos of Star Wars), the marching on the Jedi temple (Anakin looks so damn badass), and the fights between Obiwan, Anakin, Palpatine, and Yoda. Oh, and I love the light saber choreography between all three movies because that is the one area where the OT was lacking.

To the other question, in 2006 Fox released the Star Wars trilogy on DVD individually and included bonus DVD discs with Laser disc converted to DVD copies of the untouched trilogy.
