My main problem with the Prequels aside from all the obvious and mostly fixable flaws is that there really is nothing natural/organic like the OT. The technology actually waters them down. The "lack" of technology makes the OT shine.....it's part of the magic that still draws me when I pop in my Laserdiscs.
The Phantom Menace is the only one of the prequels that resembles the OT in that respect....everything else is a digital nightmare to me.
