I know he probably cares deeply about Star Wars, it is his brain-child after all. It's just that as a fan I am incredibly sceptically that the upcoming movies will be made with any serious intent at going for some serious artistic integrity. I wonder that that would be most of our concerns over this whole situation.

But you know what? You could be absolutely right. Perhaps a really competent director with really creative writers who are all really loyal to the Star Wars legend, and not just the Star Wars franchise will take the helm and take it all new heights. I really hope so, but I just can't help but maintain a high level of cynical skepticism. And I swear, the minute I see one family-friendly-antics-loving-allaroundgoofy-sidekick I will formally condemn this unholy union and damn it to the deepest pits of Tartarus.
