As it stands, the Sequels seem to go out of their way to ignore the Prequels, aside from two instances, one per film. Any ideas for how they could be more overtly acknowledged? Maybe some Prequel species (or even Original species; we’re lacking on all fronts for returning species), ships, or planets could be integrated?
Well, first off, there’s more than two. Second, if you want to start inserting PT stuff elsewhere, you should start with the OT, where timeline-wise it’s more relevant.
