I dont see anything that compels me to this sequel trilogy

If it was made in 1980s, people would flock to it even if it only contained Luke/Hamill, Leia/Fisher and Han/Harrison dancing around the fire (Holiday Special anyone?), as they were the beloved heroes.

Now we'd be considered lucky if it'll be possible to squeeze-in Leia for a cameo.

Otherwise we'll get different (younger) actors, which makes it look&feel like a reboot or a fan-movie.

Let's face it: the last moment for making a Star Wars (or Indiana Jones) sequel was early 1990s.

Now, there was a chance for a quality LFL product. The live-action series. If it was made using "few episodes per story" formula (NOT "episode per story" or "neverending soap opera") and telling us the tales of unknown heroes (Rebel spies & pilots, bounty hunters etc.) with only short cameos of major characters (they made young J.Bridges for TRON; Vader & Palpatine didn't age), space war drama ESB-style (Rebels on the run), it would be a big hit (with both fans and the Average Joe) and I'd be Lucas fan again (just like 2 decades ago).

But there was noone in LFL willing & able to create such series.
