Hate I think, is far from being the correct term. But, while there are plenty of kids who enjoy the original three movies, and I agree SAGA needs to be the buzzword (Six Movies... One SAGA), it is nonetheless the case that many younger fans can be bored by sections of IV-VI, particularly the early scenes in New Hope, with Artoo and Threepio traipsing across the desert. I swear, they just switch off. Drives me crazy. "These are robots in space kids!"

But honestly, and I acknowledge this is anecdotal, but I've had it said to me by kids; they prefer the first three because there's more going on.

You're right though Lucas, & more especially Lucasfilm, need to start emphasizing the SAGA. I'll be very disappointed if that isn't the tack for this Blu-Ray release. My preference is for one complete boxed set. All six movies in one not, as has been the case in the past, two separate boxes collecting each trilogy on its own.
