It really is hard to say how Star Wars is perceived these days. I don't think the general population flat out hates the prequels, but I do think they are just getting indifferent to Star Wars in general. I only say that because the same thing happened in the 80s, people move on.

QTF, IMO. I think that it's a simple case of biting off more than you can chew.
What happened in the 80s?
