Speaking as one who saw these films as they originally came out from '77 onwards, yest the spectacle was great to experience, but watching it, I still disliked the changes for the most part. I think universal admiration for the Yavin battle. I didn't like how Jabba looked, and I disliked the new look of Tattooine. But hey it was like getting shore leave after being out at sea for 18 months, it looked great and you got drunk off of it. The long battle of the revisionist nightmare that Lucas has churned out since then became our collective hangover.
