The prequels have been on the table since FFG started producing Star Wars licensed games, they have the rights to do stuff with them, but if you notice it's not just in X-Wing that there's a distinct lack of prequel material. The RPG lines are more or less entirely focused on the original trilogy period, as is Imperial Assault and the upcoming Rebellion board game, the card game is all original trilogy stuff, Armada has like a single token nod to the prequels with that one little bomber in the Rogues & Villains pack and that's about it.

If FFG thought there was good money to be had mining the prequels for material I can't imagine they'd be leaving it sitting there, but so far it looks as though they've decided to quietly skirt around the subject. Maybe they're just waiting until they've completely exhausted everything the EU has to offer, maybe it's official FFG internal policy that they aren't touching the prequels at all, but it doesn't look like it's happening any time soon.
