What's terrible about the idea of rebooting is that any such thing is absolutely guaranteed to be horrible.
The original films are so iconic and excellent that any attempt to 'improve' or 'reimagine' them could only ever suck copious amounts of hairy ass through a straw. There's just no way around this.
That it's surefire rubbish almost promises that some schmo will actually try to do it at some point in the future, if there's nothing preventing them from doing so, particularly since Hollywood these days seems entirely devoid of new ideas aside from a couple of writers and directors. This is one way in which I'm actually grateful for Lucas' stranglehold on SW, because at least nobody else can come along and find entirely new ways in which to screw it up.
