I didn't say anything comparing them to the "originals" nor did I say it had anything to do with generation demographics. I said the factor I believe to be most at play is relatively the exact opposite of nostalgia, the prequels play to novelty and seeing them for the first time with the eyes of a child. They are cartoons of whimsy and wonder.
For the most part the senatorial debates and child murder both happen off screen, the screen pays a lot more attention to the muppets and droids and lightsaber duels. (The toys and the action figures.) Ep. I and II both have a PG rating and III is PG-13. Most of the Star Wars movies have PG ratings and the PG-13s are rare. They've all been "family friendly" since the beginning. It's a part of why kids love them. It's a part of why Disney paid a lot of money for them. It's a part of why they are closely tied to the (US) family friendly Disney+ brand. Are you upset that these are considered "kid-friendly" movies?
