The prequel films were so bad how can it get worse? I think Lucasfilm will retain a lot of autonomy over creating new content like Pixar does. I also think a lot of talented people will want to work on the new films and without too much Lucas intervention they can be good films. Will they re-capture our youth? No, but some good solid storytelling could come out of this universe. Pixar has been an amazing force for good character driven films and television has been leaping and bounding over the quality of feature films. Star Wars could fit quite well into the hands of a talented new team of creators. Kennedy just needs to keep the Disney notes at bay.
