If the prequel films didn't show the transformation from Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader I would have no interest in watching them. To me, the idea of preserving the twist is crazy, people watched the prequels in the first place because they wanted to see how this happened.
Some people may have.
Other people may have watched them to see more three new Star Wars films, with interesting characters and plot driven exciting action scenes set during the fall of the Old Republic.
To be honest for me the mistake of the PT was concentrating too much on Obi-Wan and Anakin. We know their story already. They should have invented new characters for us to care about as the main characters and have Ben and Anakin in the background.
It's hard to care about Mace Windu when he spends most of the time sitting on a loo shaped chair frowning.
Thank you! That's the problem with prequels; there is no reason to show events which have already been told. I would add that the way to make a story work in a world where the future is known is to redirect the emphasis away from changing the galaxy. The thrust of history in the galaxy will not change, yet how an individual reacts to this inevitable history is what is really interesting. This is another area where the prequels went wrong, but people don't bring it up much. The Clone Wars are totally pointless to the audience because no matter what happens, the Old Republic is still doomed.
