I loved Star Wars when it came out. But The second series twisted the whole story for me. It was no longer about Luke and saving the galaxy, it was about the tragedy of Anikin Skywalker.

Just as interesting in terms of a story, but I wish we had started out that way - from the beginning.

The new ones carry on from the last series (or the first depending on your point of view) don't they?

So in terms of timeline, that makes more sense to me. ;-)

The prequels just weren't very good in parts. The latest couple are much better and carry on some time later. Obviously they are all a lot older, but they introduce some new young characters
