As the kids who grew up with the PT films grow into young adults/adults their love and preference for the PT films over the OT film will change and they will start leaning towards the OT films. The luster of special effects and CGI will wear off as they become older and most will appreciate a real story and screenplay over the circus performing B-movie screenplays of the PT films.
I still feel insulted when PT fans my age still claim we only prefer the OT films because that is what we grew up with and we have fond memories of them.
I grew up with and have fond memories of the made for TV spider-man films but that does not mean I think they are better films than the Sam Rami films. NO...PT fans there is really such a thing as liking something better simply because it is better in every way a film should be.
Also I love how natalie portman at the oscars the other night gave thanks to like three different directors she has worked for and teaching her things and inspiring her through out her career and she failed to mention george lucas even though he directed her in 3 films.
