That said, there is nothing wrong with mocking prequel lovers and belittling their bad taste. Kids these days don’t watch those movies. It’s teens and 20somethings that watched them when they were kids and lack the temperament to grow out of childish things that were never any good in the first place.
No there’s definitely kids watching the prequels these days, mostly due to Clone Wars, but also because they see Rebels and TFA and want to watch more Star Wars and don’t really care whether they are good or bad films.

Announcing a OOT set with Hayden on the panel isn’t really a big deal since he wasn’t even aware about being inserted into ROTJ until sometime later anyway. Doubt he cares about his little cameo very much.
