The order of Star Wars movies creation

Does anyone else wish that the Star Wars movies would be made and released in a normally ordered way? Knowing that the movies are based off books already written, I'd rather watch one long continuing story, rather than bouncing around from prequel to sequel and back again. I really haven't seen too many previews for Rogue one, and I may be wrong in that Luke Skywalker isn't in it, but why get us all worked up by seeing Luke Skywalker at the end of The Force Awakens, then not make the next movie to continue the story where it left off? It just seems ridiculous to me that they'd do that to us. If you're gonna sit down and make a night of watching all the Star Wars movies, I assume that nobody here would watch The Force Awakens and then watch The Empire Strikes Back right after it. It just feels like the same difference to me.
