The prequel had more means and better production, but I would not label the
writting as clearly superior myself.

The retcon with the mirichlorians (or whatever they are called) seems weird to
me.

The original series was more serious and conveyed this idea that the Dark Side
had real teeth. The prequel was more cartoonish, and a bit like Fast and
Furious in Space at times. Nothing wrong with that, but I think there is a
qualitative difference in the style of both trilogies and that the prequel
tried to have more flash at the expense of less athmosphere.
