Exactly!! I have never let or tried not to let my liking or the Classic Trilogy get in the way of liking the Prequels especially 1 and 2, to me Episode 1 is a bad film and Episode 2 slighty better but not on the level of Classics, and I dont believe many, if any Classic Trilogy fans wanted to hate the Prequels before they began because of some loyalty to his Old Trilogy.

I dont know the demographic but i am sure there are alot of under 25s that dont like the Prequels, I do know all the Prequel Bashing that goes on is not just the over 25s, and have seen of younger guys at it around the net, just as I am sure there are lot of over 25s who love the Prequels and love every second of it,as Ive also seen alot of that around the net, another thing i find telling is outside the Star Wars community(i go on general film sites/forums discussions with non SW friends) the Prequels are generally not liked and have a bad rep for things like CG overkill etc etc, the things that the O.T guys critise them for.and the originals are more liked/prefered....so I think George could be making an excuse for what some/many see as poor movies in a way..
