Probably stronger than ever. All the crappy CW and prequel stuff has just pushed me back into OT-land, whereas if it was 2001 I would have been distracted by a number of PT stuff, books, comics and games. Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back are still the same classic films they were ten years ago, twenty years ago and thirty years ago. It sucks watching the GOUT, but to be honest I would still be watching my VHS tapes--and sometimes still do--so I can live with it. Meanwhile, the fight to get back the OT continues and grows stronger--I think the post-PT shit has led many people to realise that at the end of the day the OT is really where its at. The hype of the PT is gone and people are realising that the OT was all the more special. Meanwhile, the GOUT, sad as it may be, has become a standard of DVD release now--there's been more releases WITH the original theatrical editions included than without, which is an encouraging sign an will hopefully re-normalise the OOT in the minds of people.
