"Everyone" was definitely an exaggeration on my part. Still, when it comes to mainstream audiences and the cultural zeitgeist, the original trilogy is far more preferred than the prequels (regardless of what individuals may feel about the prequels).

When it comes to growing an audience and getting the most bang for their buck, Disney producing a show firmly rooted in the original trilogy era (while still likely having some elements from the prequels) makes a lot of sense. Especially when you compare it to The Clone Wars, which I really like, which isn't going to gain new audience members and isn't the best financial choice for the future priorities of the franchise.
