Because quite frankly, the OT movies were far superior to the new movies, games and books. I love the books, comics, etc. don't get me wrong. But the OT had such substance to it. Great story telling, amazing characters, and great actors. Everything that has come after it just copies the original. Name one sith lord from the EU that's not in some way a copy of vader or palpatine. Or a bounty hunter that's not a copy of Boba Fett, etc. Myself, like alot of SW fans grew up on the OT, it's a part of us, our past and our childhood, nothing else will ever come close.
