Sounds like they had a real good plan working there.
Yeah, the advent of the horrible prequels and the fact that Lucas just dove in headfirst, writing the new movies on the fly, has brought up a ton of gaping plotholes and inconsistencies that are just too much for a rational human being to accept. You can't connect the two trilogies, unless you want to go as insane as Lucas.
But what these ludicrous Prequels do allow, is for no-lifer, Lucas fanboys to spend their entire existence thinking up increasingly-bizarre explanations for why the Prequels make sense. The Prequels are absolute horse-shit, and any rational person understands this, but the Lucas fanboy takes it upon himself to serve his master, and dedicates his life to the preservation of the Prequel ideals.
It is really sad to watch such a waste of energy, and I don't think even the brain-addled Matrix Trilogy Fanboys are this far gone.
