They sleep through the whole thing because they are too used to all of the unnecessary explosions and horrible plots of all of these new movies
Seriously though, I loved the original trilogy because of the slower pacing of the movies. I wish movies could go back to that.
But back on topic...
I think you should watch it in this order:
Original trilogy
Episode I
Episode II
Clone Wars Micro-Series: Volume 1 - Chapters 1-20
Clone Wars Micro-Series: Volume 2 - Chapter 21
The Clone Wars Animated Movie
The Clone Wars Animated Series
Clone Wars Micro-Series: Volume 2 - Chapters 22-25
Episode III
Reasoning: At the end of Episode II, the Clone Wars begins. The Clone Wars Micro-Series tells of the events that happen in the Clone Wars. At the end of Chapter 21, however, Anakin becomes a Jedi Knight. The animated movie/series tells of his adventures as a Knight, so after you watch that, you can go back to finish the Micro-Series, which leads right up to Episode III.
I do believe that is exactly how it should be watched TheHobbitofDune. You are right on point!
