Unfortunately many of the things that people complain about in the prequels are still very much present in the OT. Generally unimpressive script? Check. Underwhelming acting jobs from the leads (Hayden and Mark)? Check, though I suspect most will argue father was much better than son, in that regard. And while I agree that the basis for the Anakin-Padme love is largely unfounded from the audience's point of view, I could also make a similar argument about Han Solo-Leia.
Look, I'm not saying that the Prequels are better than the OT; I prefer the OT. It just bothers me a bit when I see people shit on the prequels time and time again for many of the same things that plagued the OT. Because frankly, as far as the quality of story telling goes, I don't think the OT is that much better than the prequels. From where I'm sitting, both of them (OT much moreso than PT, for obvious reasons) excel at world building, but not necessarily story telling.
Which is why TFA might be my favorite of them all. Or at least, up there with Episode V. I saw it for the first time this past week, after rewatching the OT for the umpteenth time, and had to go back the following night for more details. Really well done, on so many levels. I'm not going to scroll through all eleven pages that I've missed, but I'll assume that I'm agreeing with people when I say that the new characters are intriguing, that Kylo Ren in particular is a fantastic villain struggling with his villainhood, that I'm looking forward to seeing most of the OT characters phased out even more, that Rey seems likely to be the daughter of Luke (but maybe a little too likely), that light saber duels in a snowy forest are fantastic, and that I have high expectations for Ep. 8 now that the more derivative foundation has been set.
