Why the prequels don't matter at all anymore

This and the other two prequels are just dreams and nightmares that Luke had.

Therefore, this and the other two prequels are not canon to the SW series.

Only the OT and TFA matter.

Fact not opinion.

Damn, I'm good.

I caught three prequel references in The Force Awakens.

What were the three please?

1. Lor San Tekka mentions bringing balance to the Force.
2. Kylo Ren suggests going back to using clones.
3. Han says that Luke went looking for the first Jedi Temple.

"Have to say, Jimmy - you turned into a real impressive fighter. If I was ol' Mengsk, I'd be runnin' scared from you, too."
"You really mean that, Tychus?"
"Nah. I was just kiddin'."

Thanks for the reply.

As for number 2, didn't Obi-Wan mention the clone wars in the original Star Wars?

You're close. Luke and Leia both mention that Obi-Wan fought in the Clone Wars. However, it was the prequels which established that the clones were the first troops of the Empire.

Um, nope. Not fact - just your opinion. The Prequel Trilogy is canon. Fact.

The Flags for the Pod Race can be seen in The Force Awakens.

I really hope that this is a sign that you were just trying to be ironic.
