I don't think so. I think AE is the pinnacle of the series. The only thing I think AO did better was its mystic atmosphere - but I'd chalk that up to the fact that AE was a bonus game and it's story was superfluous to the Quintology - but it's story was handled better from a writing and structural standpoint than AO.
And the difficult first season analogy wasn;t a comment on the quality, despite the fact that I like AE better, but that the series hadn't figured out exactly want it wanted to be.
And since AE came out a mere 9 months after AO I don't feel this is really the same as the Star Wars rereleases. Since I think NnT follows AE in some respects.
