An opinion of mine that I am sharing for this particular case, but that I honestly have for all fandoms ever: a true Star Wars fan would never use the expression "true Star Wars fan". Or, as Tom Reimann famously put it, "the correct answer to 'If you're such a big fan, then in what issue of Aquaman did we learn the name of Aquaman's father?' is 'F**k you -- Arthur, Prince of the Sea, belongs to everyone'".
So yeah, just something I felt like sharing. I personally watched the original trilogy because my dad was a massive fan of it and had the original VHS (THE ORIGINAL VHS, I SAY) stashed somewhere in our old house. I liked it, so I decided to also watch the prequel trilogy, and I also liked it. I didn't watch Ep VII, nor do I plan to, for a simple reason: I have lost interest. Not because I think that the new movie sucks, or that the overall direction of the product is bad or whatever the hell: I have lost interest, simply because I think it is a natural reaction, after six episodes of the same thing, to just want to go out and do something else. It's kind of the reason why I never finished the Harry Potter series.
