Nah, man. The prequels were mercilessly assaulted on the internet for a long time. There must be a new generation of fans praising them now, or maybe the newer movies are so bad that they make the prequels seem good in comparison, so everyone’s revised their opinions.
For me the sequels were bad enough that the prequels got a lot of slack. The prequels were awkward and had some continuity issues that were troublesome, but at least there was a plane and a somewhat cohesive plot between the 3 movies.
I enjoyed the prequels when they came out. Heck, I even thought Jar Jar Binks was okay. But I think I’m the only person I know who actually enjoyed them. Some of the new ones are so bad that I stopped watching them part way through, and decided the franchise isn’t for me anymore. I figured it is just because I’m older now, but there seems to be a lot of consensus that they’re trash.
It’s the former since it started before the new ones came out. Tbf there was a lot about the prequels that was catering to children, especially the first one, so it makes sense it would go that way.

That was 20 years ago. They are praised for about 10 years now.
