I keep seeing this statement from several others, but I really would like to know what they are basing this off of, because I just don't see it. Maybe merchandise wise (because it is what sells,) but I really am not seeing it in other areas. The new movies are sequels to the original trilogy, and Rebels is a sequel to The Clone Wars, serving as a space filler, a hype machine, and a fresh jumping in point for new fans if you will for the lore and upcoming films.

If there is a feeling of abandonment towards the prequels, it's more than likely not because Disney is trying to ignore it took place, but rather acknowledge that after the prequels and the Clone Wars series, there's not a whole lot more to tell about this time period. Ahsoka Tano making her grand appearance in Rebels in fact shows that Disney acknowledges and respects it.
