I think George just wanted to finish what he started. I'm sure a few decesions here and there were made to try and apease a younger audience. For the most part, i think he was just trying to finish what he started, but got lost in the power that he had at his disposal. This time around, Geroge could create ANYTHING his mind imagined. back in 77 George had to spread out the visual aspect of the movie. This is why there was more character development in the OT. I think he wanted to make it universal for both new comers and old fans. I think the biggest problem for george was all the possbilities that CGI had to offer.
However, George did say that PM was going to be more for the saturday morning audience than the fans. He always said that Episode III would be the one for the fans, and he was right. the magic was still there in all of the PT movies, but the dialogue was to stylised and feeble for my liking. I do still enjoy them all though.

Yep sorry It is true I forgot the power of the flaming fart... If you don't get the question.. or don't like it... it is not my problem! If you get it... and actualy have sumthing to say about it... that would be nice. It seems am asking too much!
i was talking about me by the way......
im 19, so i wasn't alive for the OT original release.
but i was 11-12 when TPM came out.
but i always loved the OT when i was a kid.
as for making it more mature, i thought it was completely fine as is. actually its more mature then the OT. the political stuff in these movies is actually pretty complex and would be difficult for a younger child to fully understand.

Are you saying that that the OT was aimed at adults? I was 4 when the ANH came out and i seem to remember it was popular with kids as well as adults, the PT seems to have hit the same target audience. Both Adults and kids enjoy them, it gave my son a chance to get swept up in the hype to which was great for me to see.
As the Anomaly already said the PT had a far more complex story line than the OT and all the political agendas probably went over most kids heads. Obviously the movies had to look different because of the advances in technology, if Lucas had made ANH now it would be laden with CGI to. Adults are far more cynical than kids and wouldnt except the same looking movies that were released 20+ yrs ago.

This is the kind of comment I was hoping for... Thanks for that!!!
