If Disney ignores the prequels but keeps promoting the SEs, how are they going to explain who that ghost next to Yoda at the end of ROTJ is?

First of all, it's still Lucasfilm, not Disney at the wheel.

Secondly, at Celebration there was a lot of prequel love. There was a clear undercurrent of resentment toward the current OT focus.

I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before it resumes infecting the rest of the franchise. It's already started in the Marvel comics.

Resentment from whom?

There are plenty of prequel references in Rebels, so it's not like it's being ignored.

The Clone Wars are 50 years in the past by the time of Episode 7.

Fans. There was quite a lot of murmuring for attention to be brought back to the PT era. As for Rebels, that's Clone Wars stuff. I know I'm not alone in holding that show in a much higher regard than the PT.

I'm sure as long as JJ and or Kasdan are involved the new trilogy will probably steer clear of that stuff. But the young twenty-somethings that are coming up are chomping at the bit for synergy between the two trilogies.
