Well, after those horrible, uninspired and crap prequels, the fumbly editing and the actual renaming of the first three movies to episodes 4-6 respectively, I doubt much more damage can be done to the IP.
Besides, while I have pretty much given up on the Star Wars IP as is, as the current 'other' gems in the bucket are basically all based on the giddily colourful My Little Princess and My Angry Anakin prequel nonsense, there is a slight chance that more inspired folks at Disney can actually handle the property with the respect and care it deserves. Having Lucas as a "creative consultant" still bears significant risks, but what the hell. Disney couldn't possibly wreck it any more... can they?
