TC sees all six movies as equally good and bad. The original trilogy told an archetype story, and had just as much phony acting coming from the main hero. The new trilogy told a story on a broader scale, taking some risks and failing a bit more, but also accomplishing more in the process.
To further point out what I'm talking about, in 1-3 we get an idea of the scale of the war as it follows several jedi to several various places. In 4-6 we follow, at most, 2 groups that are barely involved in any overtly Rebel activities. On the reverse, the characters were stronger in 4-6, especially helped by Darth Vader as a forefront antagonist throughout the three. The lack of a forefront antagonist hinders 1-3 in that we don't get a feeling of power or dread from the sith in the movies as most of them have very little screen time for build up, and generally don't last past one fight.
Honestly, the best way to look at 1-3 isn't as the origin of Darth Vader, but as the fall of the Republic. The story arc is more often entails more about the political climate of the Republic and the war in 2-3. While 4-6 are more about Luke and the few people around him, with things like the political climate of the Empire and the war with the rebels not being widely addressed.
That being said, I personally think Darth Maul is cooler than Darth Vader and the worst moment in any of the movies is Darth Vader's puss out the end of 3.
