I think that statement is by far the most telling of the whole deal. If someone needs years of convincing before they watch the films, they probably aren’t the best example of how someone will view Star Wars for the first time.
Prior reluctance has nothing to do with how a person will experience and accept the films. For example, I didn’t want to have anything to do with Star Wars until I was like 14. Then I somehow decided to give it a try. Since then OT are my favourite films.
