Also, it is my opinion that the new prequals actually offer very little in terms of elaborating on the episodes 4-6. To me, the two trilogies are so disjointed from each other that I consider them two separate trilogies altogether.

I agree completely.
The thing that bothers me most about 1-3 is the terrible performances Lucas gets from some excellent actors.

Lucas is a storyteller, not a director of actors. The acting, save for harrison ford, in the original star wars trilogy, is just as wooden, IMO.
Lucas is famous for such directing tidbits as "say it faster". Such is the extent to which he works with actors. The thing I find more odd is that he was able to get good performances out of his cast in American Graffiti.
