I'm not saying that at all. I know there are some people that liked those films, but he is saying there is a similar following to those for the new younger generation of Star Wars fans as the original trilogy. Like I said, that is not true at all. This younger generation of fans came from the cartoons and other adaptations of the universe.

If he wants to make a successful trilogy, then he won't look at the trilogy that tarnished the franchise to begin with. No hardcore Star Wars fan wants those three movies to be inspiration for whats to come, no one.

just because those "few and far between" fans like them, doesn't mean they should look to those as inspiration. They should look at whats keeping fans around and adding to the fanbase, which in this case is the other adaptations. They can look at those three films and take what little bit was actually good and use that, but not the films as a whole. There is a reason why Star Wars fans hate them.
