User blog comment:KaharZamet/Why the Prequels Are Better Than the Original Trilogy/@comment-5317780-20150902113401

To be honest, I felt that Revenge of the Sith and maybe half of The Phantom Menace was considered "better" than the Original Trilogy. At least by the story and acting anyways.

Now the CGI: I really couldn't care less about it. As long at it's used properly. What I mean by that, is when CGI looks worse than actually having props, a real setting, etc it makes the film less admirable and consistent with the real life actors. I could go either way on CGI or props now, but back in say the late 90s or early 2000s, I would go with actual props.

Prequel vs. Original? Clone Wars... Clone Wars beats both in acting and story, but certainly not CGI.
