The prequels were considered huge successes when they first came out too. Just some food for thought.

They were far from considered huge successes. Some fans raved about it when it came out, that's true, but that could be a consequence of the hype of seeing another Star Wars movie after all those years. But a lot of fans bashed that movie back then. Reviews were very lackluster. This is a totally different case, as reviewers and fans alike are raving about it, and it's rare to see a lot of negativity (as opossed to TPM) among fandom. I didn't see it yet, but I'm on a lot of film forums and I've only see a lot of praise. 

EDIT: By the way, I've enjoyed Episode III a lot. More than RotJ, so I'm not actually a prequel hater.
