They're still great movies and characters that new and old fans love. You make it sound like the movies are totally unwatchable because of the changes that were made.
The only change I really don't like is the "Noooo" at the end of Jedi because it was better before but it doesn't make me never want to watch the movie again.

It isn't that they are totally unwatchable. I just think there has been too much meddling. The movies are so much different than they were when originally released.
Your second sentence makes no sense to me at all. I don't see what watching kids play has to do with the fact that your kids aren't getting to see the same Star Wars movie that you did. It doesn't diminish their love of the show, if that's what you are implying I was suggesting. Your kids may not realize they're watching the same movie, but they're not. The franchise is timeless but unfortunately kids these days don't get to see the actual timeless films. They get to see craptacular versions.
The whole "you won't know until you have kids" makes no sense when I'm not talking about kids, I'm talking about the movies. I feel that your kids love a different Star Wars than we loved.

watching them again with kids makes you realize it doesn't matter.

I think what you meant was that it doesn't matter to your kids that the movies are different. I took it to mean that it doesn't matter to you that they are different or that the movies are just as good as long as the kids like it.
To me it matters because they're watching something that is quite different from what we were watching. But I'm not disagreeing with the fact that they like it.
