Personally I think you need to watch in the original order in order to keep the plot points preserved.

Luke is Vader's son
Leia is Vader's daughter and Lukes sister.
The Emperor was the master manipulator in the series who got lazy in the end.
Jar Jar Binks doesn't exist until necessary and then causes the downfall of the republic.
I don't think that is important, since the characters themselves don't really know these facts. It just changes these from surprises to the viewer and the characters, to just surprises to the characters... dramatic irony, essentially.

Having said that, I'd just as soon pretend the prequels did not exist and I am pretty much in agreement with everything that was stated in "The People vs George Lucas".
