Gen Z love the Prequels because they relate to Anakin.
A sensitive young man, an autistic savant, who has everything taken from him by alien savages, and has natural desires like fraternity, having a family, and aspiring to heroism proscribed by a sclerotic political order that refuses to acknowledge and solve problems.
Young men today find the state of their nations intolerable, and just want to use power and competence to fix things.
When Anakin responds to Padme warning, "That sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship," with, "Well, if it works," they agree.
The Jedi Order and Galactic Senate are as hypocritical and unsustainable as the institutions in their states which coordinate to constrain their potential.
For them, the tragedy is not Anakin was corrupted by Palpatine and became Darth Vader, but that he failed and lost everything in pursuit of things they want and can't have too.
They razed our childhood shopping malls, they flooded our hometowns with foreigners, they made the dollar menu 3$, they made Cortana ugly, and you expect Gen Z men to just forgive them without consequence?
No.
