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?

"Princess Leia: General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars."

"Luke: No, my father didn't fight in the Clone Wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter.

Obi-Wan: That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals; he felt he should've stayed here and not gotten involved.

Luke: You fought in the Clone Wars?

Obi-Wan: Yes. I was once a Jedi knight, the same as your father."
