The trilogy that chronologically followed the PT (I'm talking about OT, even though it came first of course) only referenced the PT by mentioning that vader used to be a jedi. There's no mention at all of qui gonn or mace or dooku or battle droids or even clones. And that's what, twenty years after? Why would something fifty years after talk about these things?

^This. Narratively, there is no reason for the ST to reference the PT. Sadly, it probably will, which is just one reason I refuse to get my hopes up this time around.
