I look at some of the effects from the OT and cringe...

Really? What for example?

That's why when I hear a lot of people bash the prequels because of the script, the dumming down of everything and all the CGI, etc...I'm think back to what others have said about the OT and it's not much different. I believe age has a lot to do with it.

This guy felt about the OT a lot like the adults these days feel about the prequels. It's no different....

I'm understand what you mean but I think your argument is flawed.

This is one critics negative opinion. And I'm not that naive to think his was the only one, but the overwhelming majority of opinions were positive. Not so much with the Prequels though. And I'm talking about adult critics of the time vs adult critics now.

Same with the regular audience members then vs the regular adult audience now. Of course there is exceptions to the rule like your dad in regards to the OT but that's a small minority. But there's a whole bunch of adults I know of that think the prequles are crap that would talk about the OT positively. And I'm not talking about adults who were kids at the time of the OT with rose coloured glasses on.

And don't be so harsh on Obi Wan. His character never started out that way.
