Inorganic? You think the CIA is MKUltraing everyone into liking Academy Award-winning films? I think the only culture shift that could potentially happen is that the films are old enough now that the fans feel the need to remind everyone how good they are. In the first decade after release, we kinda assumed that everyone was already aware.

No, marketing firms. Have you not noticed them?

If anything I would expect the soulless robe-slop purveyor to to want to bury the trilogy.

Just comparing the amount of genuine love and passion that went into those movies would make any later productions feel inadequate from the onset.
