"What GL has is great, world class IMAGINATION! "
The bodily function humor with the cgi alien and the kid actor in ep I is especially charming.
"No. I think the original trilogy was great because it didn't talk down to kids. "
You have nailed it down better than I could have stated it. Apparently as Lucas took more direct control over the movies, they got worse. ROTJ started showing a lot of the 'symbolism over believability' stuff, along with burp/fart humor, cute stuff, etc.
It paints a very unflattering picture of how lucas views the world and his audience. The original SW (not the soviet-style revised version which has permanently supplanted the original) is in many ways a timeless classic.

Some of us were 28 years younger, but I can't speak for everyone.
