   More movies, whether prequels or sequels, were never going to have the   
   same impact as the original movie or original trilogy. Times have changed,   
   the world has changed, people have changed. If the Original movie(s) had   
   been released today instead of the 1970s/80s, then they wouldn't have made   
   such a massive impact, even with using modern day filmmaking techiques.   
      
   Whether or not the Prequel Trilogy is "any good" is simply a matter of   
   individual opinion.   
      
   As for "three other films" ... they're will not be any. The Saga is over,   
   there are no more Episodes to be filmed and there is no now-mythical   
   "Third Trilogy" (or "Fourth Trilogy"). There MIGHT be more spin-off movies   
   (live-action like the Ewok movies or animated like The Clone Wars movie),   
   but they are not part of the Saga.   
      
   As for losing it's relevancy, "Star Wars" has inspired many people over   
   the decades (some worth inspiring, others useless hacks) and will continue   
   to do so. The six Saga movies are due to start their 3D-erised   
   re-re-release next year, which, again whether they are "any good" or not,   
   brings them back into the general public's view and another generation.
