The original trilogy is nothing extraordinary except perhaps in terms of the originality of the special effects. But the acting was decent. The new trilogy's dubious acting plus the fact that the special effects, while much fancier, are not so particularly stand-out anymore, plus Jar-Jar Binks, makes it fair to say it's inferior to the original. Plus, you know, the inherent problem of knowing beforehand what the main plot twists are going to be.
