I still have big problems linking the two Trilogies. They seem like chalk and cheese to me.
The OT was inventive, original (well, traditional with a twist), funny, clever and above all entertaining. The PT for me was trite and derivitive and lacked all that made the OT such a big part of childhood. I really don't think that the PT will grow with it's child audience the way that the OT did with my generation. My newphews have grown up with the PT and have already moved on. They still like the OT but say that the PT is good for their little cousin - aged 4.
I don't think this TV series will do much to help matters either.

I have to agree, to me the saga is like putting a square peg into a round hole it doesnt fit IMO, I can watch the Prequel films if I feel like it but I dont find them as enjoyable and dont have the same replay value as the Original films and I also notice the quality drop from the original films especially Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.
