Perhaps, but there are enough fans to give the "saga" enough geeky devotion that popular culture will move on and stop caring altogether. It's sad, but most people in the future won't sift through a bunch of crap if its not worth the time involved. Everything is a balance and even now its becoming too much work to find what was truly amazing about the original films in their time. Soon only people with film interests of an esoteric nature will give a damn.
It's kind of weird. George Lucas went out of his way in the original films to make them in a way that wouldn't look dated, even years after. Yet what we have now, with his current edits, the prequels, and his never-ending revisionism, is a complete emphasis of every aspect that made the originals dated and supposedly imperfect. George Lucas decided that Star Wars wasn't good enough and now, coming from the mess he's made, it never will be.
