Eh. Movies don't usually end up getting "vindicated" unless no one saw them the first time around and they're rediscovered later (not remotely possible in one of the most anticipated movies at the time) or does something unique or groundbreaking (eh, not really.) Last Jedi will live in the same place as the Prequels, where most people stick it in the "it wasn't that bad and it meant well" category and fandom showers it with warm fuzzies for the things it did right while handwaving around the stupid parts. That's not a bad place to be, but not nearly as triumphant as vindication.

The prequels get plenty of revisionist defenders

A lot of people hated ESB, too. Ten years later it was "the best Star Wars ever."

Earlier than that, even. By the time RotJ's end credits finished rolling, the nerds had all moved on to loving ESB and hating on Ewoks. But unless you're banking on another 40 years of progressively less impressive Star Wars movies, TLJ's probably not going to be retroactively declared a masterpiece anytime soon.

But people also generally say that ESB was better than A New Hope. So ESB's reputation can't be entirely explained by reference to later movies being worse.
