The way I honestly look at it is there's only three "real" Star Wars movies. IV, V, and VI.
The other six are basically just "expanded universe"/auxiliary stuff but instead of it being in the form of comics/novels they are movies.
But I don't consider them one connected saga. The stylistic differences, tone, and acting is just wildly too different.
Prequels are their own thing (IMO poor expanded universe) and the sequels are too (executed alright in a modern way, but I don't buy that Luke/Leia would let 80% of the stuff that happens to happen in the first place). Sequels to me are like hypothetical "what if" novels. Like "what if" Luke turned his back on the galaxy type of stuff.
Neither prequel or sequel trilogy deserves to inherit the crown of the original three movies.
