There's no bigger fan of the Star Wars prequels than Lucasfilm's Chief Creative Officer

To describe something in the Star Wars galaxy as divisive is merely to say that it exists. With each new movie or TV series that comes out, the fandom gets increasingly fractured, with factions picking sides and digging in on multiple fronts. The discourse has gotten so toxic that it almost makes the debates from 25 years ago over whether Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace did or did not have the power to ruin actual childhoods seem quaint in comparison.

Making it make sense Lucas introduced a lot of new concepts to the Star Wars universe in the prequels, like the Jedi Council, the clone troopers, and the mysterious Sith Order. Some of these ideas, like midi-chlorians, those little microscopic guys who communicate the will of the Force to their hosts, were misunderstood and ridiculed. Filoni took it upon himself to provide logical explanations to resolve these retcons and fit them into the existing lore.
