The prequels have their issues but they fit into the world of the original trilogy. The sequels upend the world of the original trilogy. I'll take a poorly executed attempt at expanding a world in good faith over a technically strong attempt to destroy it.
Similarly I'd rather rewatch the Rankin/Bass Hobbit over the billion dollar amazon abomination because the latter is just shitting on the world that Tolkien built.
Most importantly the prequels are the vision of the author, love him or hate him. The sequels are designed by committee and hacks who acquired something they didn't understand.

At least the prequels had that charm the sequels will never have. I am not really the biggest fan of the prequels but at least they're watchable, got good acting(yes, even Hayden when he's not opening his mouth), great music but also some dumb decisions.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I did say he did good. He isn't bad, just whenever he opened his mouth it wasn't easy to listen to...granted, I don't know if someone can make "I hate sand" sound good. But the way he moved, his looks, he 100% got that down, especially in RotS where I think he was at his best and def. channeled that menacing persona.

Hayden knocked it out of the park. It's not his fault the script was utter dogshit.

Midi-fucking-chlorians.
Symptom of force sensitivity. Not the cause. Easy fix.
