Well, a great majority of SW fans disliked the PT.

If it's the majority or not, that remains to be seen.

Most of the PT enthusiasts were children when those movies came out. The PT is Lucas' trilogy, while the OT creatively belongs to a number of people.

Strawman.

Lucas wants people to like the PT as much as the OT so that the entire saga can thrive.

And where does that come from?

That's why you only get the special features discs with the complete set and not the individual trilogies.

You know, that works for those who like the PT only, too. And yes, there are people who do.

A considerable number of consumers would only buy the OT set if it had all the relevant deleted scenes and bonus features.

Speculation.

Not sure what you're trying to argue here, as you have no argument.

No. You are the one who has no argument when you say that "Lucas wants people to like the PT as much as the OT so that the entire saga can thrive." One doesn't need to like both trilogies the same, to accept it as one saga. Besides, that kind of argument (or lack of) is in the same extreme as Lucas gushers excuses.

Lucas wants SW to be one saga rather than two disparate trilogies. If you can't understand that, then you are lost! ;)

Another strawman.
