I don't know why, but I never really thought the prequels sucked. A lot of people point out things like Jar-Jar and how stupid he was, but that is no different than how stupid the Ewoks were in ROTJ. Then some will say that GL put some stupid droid humor scenes in the PT, but even in ANH, when Chewbacca roared at that small droid on the Death Star, and the droid ran away, I thought that was really stupid as well. They both have their flaws, but overall, they are both really great trilogies. They were just made in a different cinematic era.

To compare the two, the PT definately has more action, but the OT has more powerful scenes. Again, I think both were great trilogies, but they were made too far apart to really tie together seamlessely.
