There's no substantial difference between the OT and the PT. Pretty awkward acting and dialogue with increasingly sophisticated SFX with a mish mash of combined inspirations and homages in the overall story. The main difference is the lack of rose-colored glasses for people who can't get past their nostalgia

There were huge differences. The on location scenes in the original trilogy were awesome because the actors had to overcome those physical barriers presented by the locations. In the shots on Tatooine, they were downright miserable! This gave the originals a level of realism not achievable in a sterile, blue screen environment. The original trilogy also gave us a number of incredibly charming and likable characters, while the prequels gave us precious few characters to care at all about because they were so phony and the dialogue was so wooden.
And the bad looking space fights in the originals gave it a campy feel even if they did look corny.
These are just my opinions though. Everybody's definitely entitled to their own. I was just extremely pissed off about the prequels, and think they could have done a much better job.
