I was talking to a friend the other day who is a big Lord of the Rings fan, and we were comparing Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, and I was saying how bad the PT is compared to the Lord of the Rings. He replied, "Yeah, but the old SW fans, they are classics, the new ones are crap, I have alot of respect for the old trilogy.
Now it is funny he said this cause growing up he hated SW, and never understood the big fuss, but maybe cause the PT was bad or in his perception he thinks they suck, it has elevated a movie trilogy that he never liked to classic status. So maybe in the end, the PT is helping the OT, because of the backlash, the PT will bear the brunt of anger and the OT can wallow as a classic.
It is just from one friend of mine, but it is interesting how peoples perception changes over time.
