Don’t watch the theatrically released PT but get ur hands on like Hal’s or L8wtrs edits and you will appreciate the prequels. It turns Episode 1 Anakin from an annoying little accidental hero to a honest, young likable protagonist. Episode 2’s original stalker Anakin is now a shy yet kind and brave character. Then in episode 3 instead of whiny, arrogant Anakin we get a character who we have gotten to know and in the fanedit he now is a deeply conflicted and tragic character. So finally once Obi-Wan in raw anguish weeps at the lava bed whilst Anakin is burning you viscerally realize that buried under all the crappy dialogue and stupid fart jokes there is a trilogy worth appreciating.
