Thus ruining the surprise of vader himself telling luke he is his father. I can't see any way of doing the prequels without ruining that surprise in ESB. The only answer is don't even do the prequels at all

No, the best way to keep the surprises is not to watch the prequels first. That's what they are: prequels. Backstory. Explains what you just saw. Problem solved.
