I don’t know if it’s necessarily awful, just probably kind of confusing when everyone’s watching the movie on 1999 not knowing why Liam Neeson is apparently playing the Alec Guinness character.
The biggest problem with the prequels narrative-wise is the constant contradiction between the concepts that those movies present with the things that were talked about in the OT, it looked like GL wanted to retcon a lot of stuff that didn't need the treatment
(This also proves that a single creator taking charge of the whole trilogy doesn't automatically equals narrative consistency)

Proving, once again, a lot of George's ideas (especially for the prequels) were fucking awful.
