That is the great divide, and neither of us is wrong, but the problem is Lucas is saying the saga is about the character you prefer now. Now you and I aren't tainted cause we saw the movies in their order, so after seeing the story evolve, you love the Darth Vader story and love the saga. After I see the story evolve, I like the story of Luke, Leia, and Han, and I love the OT.
The problem is future generations who see the saga 1-6 won't see it the way we did. In a sense, you and I being tainted and seeing it 4-6, 1-3 was the best thing cause we didn't see any movies out of context. Future fans are going to ingraded that the story is of Anakin Skywalker, and I guarantee ANH will pop up as many of the new fans least favorite, when it was the movie that started it all, and is probably the most loved by the masses.
Kinda ironic?
