1997 version use the same effect as ´77 one, only 2004 is changed to worse.
Prequels effects are very CGI, unrealistically stable, childish, with uninteresting colors (look at that nice blue in ´77 version, or Vader´s strong red combine with little bit of yellow), terrible motion blur effect and unrealistic glow.
Also the combat style actually sucks too, because it looks like the fighters are trying to hit the blade instead to hit the opponent. OT and especially ANH duel feels more like fight with weightless energy emitting device (you wouldn´t be able to do all those LS spinning moves like in the prequels).
