I'm not saying everyone hated the classic trilogy. I'm just saying it was criticised for the same things the prequels were.
It's not like all of a sudden people were saying Star Wars had lousy writing, acting, or relied too much on special effects when the SE's/Prequels came out.
To me it's interesting the way a lot of us overlooked the bad acting, horrible writing, and heavy special effects for the originals, but won't give a smiliar pass for the preqeuls/se.
