If you read all the extended universe stuff that existed to explain the clone wars you would understand how bad the sequels are to a starwars project.
It isn't any better than some of the tv failed projects like wheel of time, sword if truth, shannara, American gods.
It's absolutely hollow after learning about the star wars lore through those characters.
There are some great moments and people in the sequels. But as a whole they made star wars worse. Find and read the thrawn trilogy, or the rogue squadron books if you want a glimpse at what could have been.
Considering Lucas took a lot of interest and veto over what stories were allowed to be published so that the world fit his idea instead of corrupting it, you just can't see the prequels or sequels as anything but terrible.
