Not at all.

The Prequels are more enjoyable for me as a lifelong Star Wars fan than the OT at this point. I enjoyed seeing the Galaxy "Before the Dark Times, Before the Empire", as Obi-Wan stated in A New Hope.

As for milking it, I don't agree. Yes, it's still a huge merchandising cash cow. Big deal. So is a lot of other things. If people want to spend their money on toys, and books, and games cause they love the Saga and it's characters... who cares. I enjoy buying the stuff myself. Though I'm more into collecting Marvel these days.

If it's about re-releasing the films, so what? Most of the time they're straight up-releases in new packaging to tie-in to something. If anyone feels the need to buy the same exact movie they already own with new packaging, then they have issues... not Lucas. It's not like he's got a gun to people's head and making them buy it.
