When Disney bought Star Wars, they didn't just buy the original three movies. They bought everything! Comic books, cartoons, books, prequels, merchandising - you name it.
Most hard core fans will tell you that the original three Star Wars movies from the 1970's and 80's are the best. The prequels, which tell the story of how Darth Vader became Darth Vader? Are in many ways an embarrassment to the franchise. Who can forget that floppy Jar Jar Banks, the horrible speed pod racers, the terrible acting by Hayden Christensen, and the cartoon-like CGI.
When Disney bought Star Wars, George Lucas put forward a script that was believed to deliver more prequel level garbage. Thankfully, Disney tossed it into the garbage and went their own direction for Episode 7.
Hollywood studios is filled with Star War opportunities. From light saber battles, movies, character experiences, stage shows, storm troopers, night time fireworks, and more! Thankfully, the prequals do not play a significant role anywhere in any of this. There are brief flashes of when Darth Vader was assembled. We see the battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi that turns Anikan into Darth Vader. We see some very quick flashes of Padma, Qui-Gon, Mace Windu, and a few others. That aside? It is all about the original three movies and Episode 7: The Force Awaken.
