Silverwook, no they shouldn't. Matrix Reloaded did this with the Matrix video game and the Animatrix and it ruined the integrity of the film and created too many plot holes. That's an indication of a failure in story telling.  

Like I said, that's why I dislike Phantom Menace but you see my love for Star Wars runs deep and like it or not the events are canon and that is why I promote DARTH PLAGUIES because it literally retells everything from a hardcore, violent, and adult perspective. It covers only the most important events in PM and shows us Palpatine' motivation for everything.

but other that that Ep. 2 & 3 don't need any additional outside sources to understand. You don't really need to watch that Clone Wars Episode to get that plot point regarding the creation of the clones.

And as a SW fan I read EU novels just because I want more SW. not necessarily because of a plot hole. The most beloved EU novel is a continuation from ROTJ, Heir to the Empire, and is just meant to be an additional fun adventure with luke, leia and han.
