What would you do if The Force Awakens is worse than the prequels?

I think the big difference between the two trilogies, aside from the drop off in Lucas' writing skills (especially with no Lawrence Kasdan writing) was Lucas had become a family man by the time the prequels were made and the movies took on a child-ish/kiddie tone.

And no the OT was not like that, maybe in part due to budget restrictions. The OT movies are more like WESTERNS ... now kids can like Westerns and want to be a cowboy, but Westerns are not made for kids. They're just something kids can enjoy on top of the adults. But there's a difference between that and outright making a kids/cartoon movie.

The prequels feel like cartoons though with a ton of pandering to kids. In the OT it was only really obvious with the Ewoks and even the Ewoks were about 30 seconds away from cooking the heroes alive and tearing their skin off to eat them.

I have a theory that most great artist are ruined when they have kids.  This seems to support that theory.  (And just look at Robert Rodriguez if you want a second.

I hated the Ewoks; I felt while watching the movie that Lucas had sold out.  Made even worse by all the Ewok toys that were everwhere.
