The problems with the prequels go beyond just memes. They're quite hated by hardcore fans, as far as I've noticed. The only lessening of that seems to be due to age.

Think about how Lucas himself has fared in the court of public opinion/fandom. He should be a god, based on the original trilogy, but he's treated in general more like kind of a disfunctional uncle at best. There's not much for that downfall to be caused by except for the prequels (and some mosly dumb changes to the originals over the years on rereleases).

The Disney ones, at least for me, they're well acted, fun, the fight scenes are good, they have good story beats, and some interesting characters, etc. The overall plot is certainly a mess, but to me that's at least less of a problem than everything wrong with the prequels.
