Sadly, I think a lot of us have given up on the idea that new stuff can also be good.

IMO, Clone Wars (the series, not the pilot film) and The Force Unleashed say differently. There is still cool new Star Wars stuff coming out, which is why I put up with stuff like Jar Jar Binks and Midichlorians. Lucas doesn't always get it right, but if there's gold to be found under all the chaff then I feel like it's worth it. There are plenty of things I hate about the prequels, but there's more stuff about them that I love, so I am willing to close my eyes and pinch my nose on occasion that I might savor the good stuff that Lucas brings to the table. As I've often said, just because George Lucas puts his name on something does not mean it's automatically bad, despite some people's passionate feelings about it.
