Hey is you want to throw around logic and semantics, there is no logical reason for Lucas changing the prequels in the 90's from the concept he had in the seventies, and not taking the care to rewatch the old trilogy for continuities sake.
Unless he is willing to make it plain that in the early nineties he pretty much rebooted the star wars universe to fit his newer and evolving convoluted vision.
He elected to add unessary things to the original films he was unhappy with instead of just remake them entirely. If he remade them the films we all grew up with in the seventies and eighties would not be constanly crapped upon.
The prequels should have meshed with the original films. If they did we would not need a ruined original trilogy that is not so special edition except for lucas, and or the films having to be recut and lines redubbed and ridiculous excuses for bad prequel continuity in the EU.
The EU authors made a valiant effort to close the gap in continuity that is so big you could fly a death star through it,lol. Too bad they failed.
The plot, the script, and the way the movies were made should have conformed to the original trilogy. If they were made that way fans would not have to make fanedits that try to fix the problems Lucas introduced and it is not a couple of things either, there are people that find hundreds of mistakes and dicontinuities while i can probably only spot a few in each film.
At the end of the day though most people can forgive continuity that is in flux and changing if the story is good, and the acting credible. This whole prequel trilogy hinged on making anakin's turn believable. They botched it miserably.
I never liked Darth as a whiny emo goth teen punk, who has echos of the columbine murderors. We are supposed to feel attached to a douchebag asswhole who chokes his wife to death and and before that cuts little kids into pieces with his laser sword. This serial killer is the hero children are supposed to look up to and is creepily the hero of the entire saga now. I'll take a real archetypical hero like Luke Skywalker over Hayden Skywalker anyday.
