I have a strange view on this. When it comes to the Matrix films I have to say that the sequels diminished the 1st because when I watch the first I can't help but think about where the story is going and thinking about the cave techno rave scene and the psuedo important religious undertones of the other two and how they took a kinda fun little movie and made it something else.
In the case of SW since the story was told backwards there was a different feel of how the prequels would enhance the story going forward.
On the other hand, look at Star Trek. I have all of the films except 5 and it's pretty much universal that that is a true stinker but it didn't ruin any of the others. I just won't buy it or watch it.
But of course that's my opinion.
