The originals are better because there is alot more focus in it than their is in the new trilogy.

I think a big problem with the new trilogy is is that throughout the majority of the three movies there was no real defined bad guy who you knew you had to fight to save the day.

Count Dooku couldn't really be counted as a true villian and Darth Sidious was pretty much hiding in the shadows during the first two movies. It wasn't until Darth Sidious started getting considerable screen time in Ep. III that the focus of the trilogy really started shaping up and everything around it started getting better.


Now take the original trilogy. In the original trilogy you knew who you had to fight and defeat in order to save the day from the very beginning. And all three movies had a real focus because of that.

I think many of the problems of Ep. I and II stem from a lack of focus in the storyline.

I heard that much of the backstory that Lucas had in his head all these years was put into Ep. III. While many of the events in Ep. I and II he made up when he started making the new trilogy.
