The original film used tons of technology and techniques that had never been tried before. It was a truly innovative film for special effects.
No shade to the prequels, their graphics just weren’t a huge leap. Not to say they’re bad or that there was no innovation! If I remember correctly, Jar Jar was a pretty big deal for the industry.
The reaction to Phantom Menace might have been “Wow that looked great!” but for A New Hope it was “HOW THE HELL DID THEY DO THAT???”
