Is Star Wars Dead?

This is a Robot Head video, in which he cleverly describes the decline of Star Wars as analagous to the sinking of the Titanic, but it's later on in the video, where he describes some "new", "modern" "fans" (in their comments at least) as loving Star Wars now DESPITE the Jedi, the Sith and saying they like all of the Star Wars material out there EXCEPT for the Original Trilogy, which they dismiss as "too campy". They actually love the stuff except for the Jedi and Sith, which they consider to be childish and magic (which could technically be true) and even say that Lord of the Rings (Jackson's movie trilogy) is just as simplistic but nowhere near as childish as Lucas' Star Wars vision is.
My own personal take is: I find the OT very old-looking and boring these days, as the first film (A New Hope) turns 50 in just four years time, and half-a-century is enough for ANYTHING to look old at that point, and to be honest, when I did a rewatch of the first six movies, I found the Prequels to be more interesting, as it at least leads to the Clone Wars cartoon series which elevates the whole PT to a high level, like a mini-franchise in itself.
In any case, there are people here who defend Disney Star Wars to the hilt, and here is a chance for them to say why "new" Star Wars, is "better".
