A big problem with prequels is that they introduce elements that aren't even hinted at in the original and, are often at odds with the previous story. Midichlorians in Phantom Menace. STO in Caprica. Wolverine loosing his memory long after the adanmantium procedure.

Sure these things can be filed away with enough hands in ears and, "blah, blah, blah." Adama conveniently forgets the terrorists group that killed his sister. Caused his Father to become neglectfull to him. Forcing him to find an emotional out in the mob. No he's perfectly fine with his Dad and, doesn't mind the resurgence of the same ideals behind his sisters death.
Wolverine despite being tormented with the vision of the adanmantium procedure lost his memory long after that after being shot in the head in an open field. No that bullet wouldn't have caught the attention of Magneto at all when he raised him. Despite Magneto's ability to detect minute bits of metal in the bloodstream.
Midichlorians ... well you know.

All these things and, more give you the sense that if it happened than why wasn't it mentioned at all in the 'future' stories?
It's not so much that the most likely people to mention such things don't mention it in the originals. It's that no one does.
Xavier doesn't remark on the oddity of a bullet in Logan's brain and, subsequent hole which would show up on the X-ray he did. Striker forgets a method to apprehend Logan.

No one in BSG remembers the multi-planet religion with media presense due to terrorists attacks.
Nothing about Midichlorians from Vader, Obi-wan, Yoda, or the Emperor.
