No, you will be fine. Most fans are not as fond of the prequels as the original trilogy. I agree!
Especially episode 2, it is fatally flawed by not featuring a Jar-Jar Binks death scene. If you liked the originals, I think you will be satisfied with the new film.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
