I've come to accept a few things:
1. The prequels are rubbish due to uninvolvement of people who actually challenged Lucas and pushed him to weave the great stories of the first trilogy: Kasdan (ESB and ROTJ), Marcia Lucas (ANH, ESB, ROTJ), Kurtz (ANH, ESB), Kirshner (ESB), and Richard Marquand (ROTJ)- among others like Coppola (whose apparent downfall in filmmaking was related to losing is supporting cast)
2. Knowing that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader when you watch Ep 4 pretty much takes all of the awesomeness out of the original trilogy. Even accepting the original episodes, the best way to watch them is the order they came out in.
3. Nobody is forcing me to accept the special editions, the 2004 editions, or the prequels. I can just live in my own lala land where they don't exist. I can have my own concept of what happens in episodes I, II, and III based off of what I believed they would be like before they even came out.
edit:
Oh, what is this with Star Wars being boring? You've got to have a serious case of ADHD if you think that Star Wars is boring.
