I discovered two websites, or blog, where another geek named Andrew Rilestone has a good deal of interesting things to say about the prequels and how they relate to the original trilogy. Unfortunately there is too much stuff there to be easily summarized, but I'll direct those interested to the sites.

The older site has a few essays about The Phantom Menace and The Attack of the Clones:

The newer site is in blog format and its harder to find stuff, but there is alot on The Revenge of the Sith posted in June:

People should be warned that the writer seems to actually like the prequels, at first. But that turns out not to be the case.

Probably the most provacative idea is that of the six movies, Episode IV is the one that is the odd one out, the real outlier.

There is also a fair amount on Peter Jackson's valiant attempt at a Lord of the Rings movie trilogy as well.
