Well there might be another generation in-between. I grew up with 1997 SE. However I did watch the "original" versions shortly after I first saw 1997 OT. While I appreciate the original versions and I support the struggle to get them released in HD, I just prefer 1997. I am very sensitive to visual aspects and quite frankly most of the original Tatooine scenes in ANH are unsatisfactory and below my standards.

On the other hand, I dislike PT as much as most of the older fans. even if we forget about the extremely annoying main character, stupid concepts (clones, droids, midichlorians etc.) and mediocre dialogue, the PT could have never come close to OT. The way I see it, OT really is something special and unique.
