I like that... :D

It would be hard though to get all of that exposition into the movie without either having a prologue which explains it or an entire crawl dedicated just to that.

It wouldn't have to be all explained a few hints in the crawl, a few comments in subtitles and a few visual cues like adjusting the Easter Island head things should be enough.

The rest could be filled in by the imagination of the audience.

Remember how much more fun the Clone Wars and Darth Vader's Jedi Purge looked when it was just a few words rolling around in your head?

The same could be going on here.

Lucas made a rich backstory in very broad strokes for the OT which added to the texture of the rather simple story of ANH.

When he did the prequels (basically fleshing out that back story) he should have replaced it with a backstory of it's own.

The few attempts aren't strong enough (we haven't a clue why the Sith want their revenge for example).

The only really interesting bauble in my view was the Darth Plagueis thing.

Giving Dooku a backstory and adding a backstory to the Naboo crisis would go someway to making the PT as enjoyable as the OT.
