Should I wait until this comes out, and then see the 6 in their intended order?
Or should I forget all the prequels, and just watch the original three?
Or watch the original three, then the prequels?
I'm curious what the general concensus is. I've just never watched them, except for the original star wars once. (Now that I've shocked everyone, what's your opinion?)

Hence: Jar Jar, Dooku, Grievous, Elan Sleazebaggo (don't believe me? look it up), etc.

Lucas has proven that he shouldn't be allowed to make movies without someone to remind him when has slipped into "talentless hack" mode. The problem isn't the nature story that needed to be told in Ep1-2, the problem is the way in which Lucas told the story. It is entirely possible to do non-war Sci-Fi competantly with engaging characters, good dialog, and great acting. That is not what we got out of Ep1-2... there were some shocking examples of pathetic acting (examples: Amidala falling out of the airborn troop transport, gets up a moment later without bothering to act the role of someone who would have been severely winded at best; Mannequin Skywalker... 'nuff said).
IMO, Lucas' strengths are in the big picture, the overall story arc, but when he is left to do dialog and little important details, his movies turn into big action figure commercials (moreso than ROTJ). Visually, very impressive, but lacking substance. Don't get me wrong... he's a better screenwriter and director than Uwe Boll...
That being said, I have high hopes for this movie. It had better not suck, because I'm sick and tired of people with way more money than talent being able to churn out crap while real artists have to bow and scrape to the studios so that half their vision can end up on the cutting room floor.

I think you might be focusing on the wrong continuing cast. It's not necessarily the villains who are or should be continuous.
All six movies do have a continuous cast: Vader (Anakin), the Emperor, Yoda and Obi Wan. The rest of the characters are really just a supporting cast for the main character.
And the main character isn't always who you'd think it is. All 6 movies are really a biography of Vader, just told from different and varying points of view. Quite interesting idea, actually.
