The films that these people don't like - which are the first two prequels - are fanatically adored by the under 25s.

Even if that were true (and I have no idea one way or the other, since almost everyone I know is over 25), isn't he effectively saying "my recent movies are loved by all the people who haven't had the time to develop good taste yet!"?

To be fair, I think it's probably safe to say that anyone who fanatically adores the first 2 prequels (and they are out there) is under 25.

I can vouch that Emmett loves them, but he saw them before he turned 8. So it may be the "under 25" portion where George is inaccurate.

The Golden Age of Star Wars: The New Stuff is under 10.

Perhaps the under-25s he's consulting are his kids?

And pretty much all Gungans loved the prequels. And four out of five Wookies surveyed love EP3.

I don't see why. They've been digitized.

They've what? Curse the advances in technology that allow this. However, I like the ones that give you massive armies creeping implacably towards our protagonist(s). Those are cool.

The Matrix has them.

As an under twenty-five year old I find that remark innaccurate, at best. At worst, massively offensive. Being young does not mean that I have questionable taste, Mr. Lucas. About this, anyway.

Also, war elephants improve everything.

They do. But as long as something falls on people and crushes them, it's not a waste.
