In theory, this sounds awsome, but the more I think about it the more I start thinking that they will completly ruin the Star Wars franchise.

Episode 1-3 sucked, and I don't see how Disney could make them any better. Now a new trilogy, episode 7 means that this will be post-Darth Vader/Empire... No obi-wan, no Annakin, no palpatine and more importantly NO YODA! (unless they make him a ghost or something, wich would be even worst). This means only 2 options, creat a bunch of new character and new threats to the republic, or continue on Luke, Han-Solo and Lela's story and I never cared about any of these characters.

episodes 1-3 did NOT 'suck'. Only a hypersensitive old school SW fanboys think that.

1: was good overall, but had a two bad characters. (jarjar and young anakin)
2: was very good overall
3: was great

Only negative that relates to Episodes 1-3 is how Lucas used them to change a few plots and scenes in Episodes 4-6.

Lucas did not ruin your childhood, I promise.

There is a lot of story. Its a big universe and it doesn't need the classic characters to be good.

Objectively, there's a good bit of bad filmmaking going on in 1-3. Have you seen the Red Letter Media reviews? It lays out the problems with the movies in a way that's hard to argue against.
