I wasn’t listing inconsistencies so much as I was listing things that would probably be different in the OT had it been made after the prequels. Questions that could perhaps come up if you were to watch episodes 4, 5 and 6 with the idea in your mind that they were sequels to episode 1, 2 and 3, without having any knowledge of the real-life production order (imagine you’re a young child). I’m fully aware of the real life explanations and the possible in-universe justifications, and I wasn’t passing judgement on whether the retcons were for better or for worse. And yeah, they don’t fight like actual geriatrics, that was meant humorously - what I was getting at was that none of the OT fights approach ROTS’ Anakin vs. Obi-Wan or Yoda vs. Sidious in sheer speed and spectacle, which may seem odd if you were watching the movies in episode order without secretly knowing the OT was made first.
