I guess Star wars is like the movie equivilant of the sonic franchise.
To be fair, the "after Episode VI" story has been covered in so many books and comics, it's not a surprise even remotely that people are looking forward to a movie representation of any of those stories (or even parts of them).
Plus, outside of Episode I, I didn't think any of the movies were all that bad. And I recently watched the Clone Wars TV show, and while somewhat childish (which it was made for to begin with), it's quite a decent show.
I think the newer movies are victims of nostalgiaists. They always feel that nothing will ever be as good as the original no matter what. Nothing will please them. So of course they consider the newer three worse than the older three, because that's how they are.
There are people like that for everything. Games, movies, TV shows, everything. Sometimes they're right, but most of the time they have their source material on such a pedestal that it's impossible to surpass it or even get close.
