As for my original question, is the PT "technically" different from the OT? For example, is it just my imagination, or are there more medium and close-up shots in the OT? If so, would this have a subconscious effect on the viewer by making them feel more/less intimate with the on-screen characters?

I honestly think that the main difference between the PT and OT battles were that the PT battles were just poorly planned out and edited. Of course, the fact that I ended up not really giving a crap who died had something to do with it, but I also felt that the battle scenes were way too crowded with junk, and not properly executed - just plain messy. The OT battles were super-tight and created suspense and tension that the PT battles couldn't because they were sloppy. I'm sure the editing is mainly to blame for that. I didn't care for the saber battles, either.
