Like I said, I'm basically just playing devils advocate. You're probably right that there will not be any serious artistic integrity. Think about it, Lucas did have a personal connection and Disney doesn't. It's an investment for them. That said, if they put out a turd of a movie, but it has a ton of Jar-Jar-Ewokiness it will not have staying power. They're in this for the $ no doubt about it but that $ will disappear fast if they're not able to keep the hard core fans at least somewhat engaged. The hard core original fans are the parents that buy the toys etc. for their kids. It's a delicate dance to keep them happy and keep the movies accessible to a 10 year old kid.

I'm honestly no that hopeful, but still I'd rather be excited about it even if there's only an 8% chance the movies will be cool. Who are we kidding, all of us are going to go see it.

No kidding. I'll probably end up camping out for my seat. :/
