Let's face it, Jedi are the biggest draw of Star Wars fandom.

Forward or back, the point is to get far away from any direct connections to current characters and plot. My problem with prequels is the stakes never seem real as you always know where things are going to ultimately end up. Also, for Star Wars there are already lots of historical stories out there, so you are going to end up with the same problems with legends conflict, and whatnot.
