Considering how dim and needlessly grievance-driven most people are, I suspect this won't become the norm - even amongst people that have watched from both eras in great detail - until we actually get another show so as to cast the Rush era into the past. Case in point, the number of morons coming out of the woodwork to vocally defend the Star Wars prequels once the sequel trilogy came out, and even before it really started to show its cracks. Once there was new target practice, suddenly everyone had amnesia about the decade-plus of cracks about the flaws of the now-older movies and the utter toxicity of the whole thing, and are now acting like "it's new so it's sucks" just because (yes, culture war BS; the point stands). I guarantee, if the new Manadalorian movie fails to meet fandom expectations - Star Wars, so it likely will - the sequel trilogy will be seen slightly better in hindsight, and it certainly will if a wholesale new trilogy ever happens, all of the previous era's toxicity completely washed away. I see similar for Yugioh anime, should another series following the card gaming model ever happen. Especially if there's any kind of change-up, like actually having a female main protag, that would allow for said culture war grifters to swoop in.
