The timespan covered by the originals couldn't be more than a couple months... the timespan covered by the prequels is huge: IMO much larger than it needed to be.
Qui Gon (sp?) is an entirely unneccesary character, for instance... and while Anakin's childhood is nice to know about, it has little bearing on the tale as a whole. The first movie should have been completely omitted, or close to it.
Now, could they have squeezed in more stuff that happens between when Anakin becomes Vader and the beginning of 4? Maybe, but it wouldn't be good stuff for a movie. Who really wants to know the mundane details of Vader's consolidation of Power? The only thing worth mentioning is the creation of the rebellion, but with no Jedi sideplot, it wouldn't really be a Star Wars film.
