The Prequels are not any more kids movies then the originals. You oviously forgot the ewoks. They seem very adult don't they. There no more mature then Jar Jar. The Naboo Starfighters looked way way better the the originals X-wings. Also like Shimarra said the shinny digital look of the prequals is meant to show the happy age of Star Wars. Attack of the Clones feel was much more close to the originals then The Phantom Menace was and in Episode 3 Lucas is giving it an even more 70s dirty look. Its a progressive and evolutionary process. Attack of the Clones is a masterpiece. It has a beautiful story, beautiful effects, and a beautiful girl. Attack of the Clones is what movies are about. It combines story with action in such a seemless way. Very few movies meet this feet. Other examples are The Terminator, The Matrix, Dragonheart. Attack of the Clones is number one in my book for just doing everything right.
