I never found the OT or PT particularly deep in nature, though I have pensively pondered over Star Wars itself on many a thought. My issue with the PT is that it rams its undertones and politics down the viewer's throat, whereas the OT isn't as forceful. I do, however, laud that what was resolved in the PT/OT (such as Luke/Leia's ties, and the end of ROTS) was quietly resolved like how philosophies tend to be amid chaos (however somewhat anticlimatic I felt ROTJ was, as well as ROTS). I also like that by the end of the PT every side - "Sith", "Jedi", "Republic", and what not - seemed to have become a dogma unto itself, in a more metaphorical and foreboding sense (and that outlets for "moral decency" were gone by that point on all fronts, being somewhat religious).
But to be blunt, I don't find the OT or PT to be particularly deep (or deeper than one to the other), or for that matter any of the Star Wars movies as a "Saga".
