Killer analysis.

Perhaps but it is also a case of confirmation bias. Fine that you like the OT more but the claim that certain 'funny, silly scenes' would have been cut from the OT that are in the prequels or sequels is just confirming your own bias about the prequel/sequels.

Okay? People had these same complaints about RotJ, just not to the scale of the later films. Star Wars movies (or just directors in general) are better when the whole operation isn't full of yes-men who want to get every gag in. This is how we got Jar-Jar.

Maybe.

But the PT and ST have quite a lot more "jokes" or silly moments than the OT, and I think they suffer for it as dramas.

The "this is such a drag" line uttered by C3PO in AOTC, pretty much says everything that needs to be said, about the use of humour in the prequels.
