I didn’t used to think this but now have come around to believing that it’s about how old you are because I dislike both the prequel and sequel trilogies but most people younger than me generally feel as good about the prequels as I do the original. Which seems like an obvious difference to me but I guess it’s that bias.
I’m fine with the prequels, and I’m old enough to have seen a New Hope before it was called a New Hope. In the theaters even, though I didn’t actually see it there. I don’t think the prequels are as good as the originals overall, but I enjoy watching them every few years.
But you’re right, the prequels are almost always split on generational lines. Most of us old farts don’t like them.
