All special effects done in the PT are better than the OT. Not the CG, but special effects.
I don't think there's a "special effect" in the PT that wasn't done using CGI. That Force Lightning is no exception.
And I much prefer the original effect, as well. It'd be a shame to see this replaced by the far inferior ROTS "lightning."
Perhaps if the ROTS-style lightning was a bit closer to the original blue color, it'd look better?
