I think what you have to do with these new movies is to separate them from the other trilogies. None are going to live up to the original trilogy. Anyone making new Star Wars movies is going to have a lot of people saying they are bad regardless of what they do. I'm going to enjoy the fact that there will be more star wars to watch. I love seeing light saber duels. The only thing that episodes 1-3 had over 4-6 is the special effects and better light saber duels. It was awesome seeing Darth Maul bust out the two sided saber. It will also be nice to see the original actors playing those characters again after 30 years.
Darth Maul and Liam Neeson were my two favorite things of the last trilogy.
The rest of it was a letdown for me but the cool part was when the first one came out "The Phantom Menace" we went to the theater to see it and my son was 10 years old at the time. He loved the videos of the original trilogy and was a HUGE fan so he was really excited. The theater manager, an older gentleman, asked if anyone wanted to start the film. He picked my son who got to start the film--a cool moment for him.
Star Wars spans generations and will continue to do so. That's pretty neat.
Certain films somehow find a way to do that--"The Wizard of Oz", and James Bond are two others I can think of that have been able to endure like that.
