I remain mostly optimistic.

Nothing Disney can do could be any worse than AOTC.

I wish that were true. There is always the possibility of "something worse".

And considering Disney have done this for only the one logical reason, that being bleed it dry for every last cent, then it's very possible.

I'm willing to bet, despite the backlash in 1999, they'll create a new JarJar-like character to make the little kiddies laugh, and bring in the cash.
I'm picturing something along the lines of those two border-line racist Autobots from the second film. Forget the names, they were ice-cream trucks or something.
