My mental map of prequel territory is already minefieldy what with fic (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=wombat1138&keyword=SW+fanfic&filter=all).
From certain perspectives, TPM is very good at fitting all of its own pieces together into place, which I suppose is just another way of saying that it's facile and contrived, but to me it did feel more smoothly integrated than AOTC or ROTS. Except for the gratuitous "insert videogame tie-in here" podrace. And maybe the "dodging implausibly large fish through *how* much oceanic pressure through the *planet CORE?!?!*" WTF-fest. And, uh, never mind.
Alas, I'm already compromised...
