Umm, why? 7th UE is a prequel to the main story. It's the base that leads to the story that 2.0 is continuing.

I didn't need to read the hobbit to read the Lord of the Rings saga. I didn't need to read The Magician's Nephew to read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Why? This is because the roots of a story don't require as much detail as the story itself.
