I don't really think this is true, it feels more like projection. There continues to be far far far more tie in media for prequel era project, than sequal era.

Given there was never a cohort of people who had remotely the same affection for the sequels, I don't see why movies that were better received by everyone except Star Wars fans (the key demographic), why or when they would ever happen.
Better movies isn't better star wars. And if taken as a whole trilogy, the sequals can't even really that accolade given how catastrophically badly they ended
Yeah I just think that’s absolutely and completely wrong. I think TFA and TLJ both had far larger and more passionate sets of defenders among Star Wars fans than the PT did at the time. And I say this as someone who defended each at the time to other SW fans!
that's because passionate defenders of the the prequels at the time were children, while passionate defenders of the sequals, at the time, were non-star wars fans. One lot grew up, the other never had more than a casual interest in star wars.
In fact I would say it’s hilariously wrong already; the first two of the ST had *far* more defenders among already passionate SW Fans than the PT and it really isn’t close
I think given the infancy of the internet in the prequal era vs the sequal era, it's impossible to compare like for like. So it's a nonsense claim. Source? Trust me bro.
