Totally agree. And I’d add that the first trilogy had no budget and was looking to prove that sci fi wasn’t kid stuff. They had to embrace constraints that didn’t exist when Lucas did episode 1
The second trilogy also leaned in to the kid stuff to a painful degree. I imagine because leaning in to kids was a good idea from a commercial standpoint, which helps pay for the massive unconstrained budget.
