Yes, the prequels have influenced the Fox media (Simpsons, South Park etc)

South Park isn't Fox media. I get what you are saying about Simpsons, Family Guy, and Robot Chicken making Star Wars references and even full episodes dedicated to spoofing it, as self serving merchandising. But South Park isn't Fox and has no connection there.

In fact, South Park is extremely adversarial to the PT and the SEs, and has been pretty harsh on George Lucas for his alterations.

In the real world there's just no enthusiasm for the prequels amongst everyday people. The opposite was true with the OT and it's really hard to describe to people who weren't even born back then.

I would love for this to be true. I wouldn't mind the prequels being collectively forgotten and disappearing for ever. But I honestly think I hear Jar Jar quotes, as well as things like "My young Padawan", "Those tricks donta work on me", or "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" almost as much as I used to hear things like "I'd just as soon kiss a wookie" and other famous OT quotes.
