Every day there's a new sliver of news about the new films and every day the news seems to get better. I was more cautious about a new trilogy than I ever was about the prequels and my new concern had nothing whatsoever to do with episodes one, two and three (it should come as no surprise that I love all three of them), moreover it was the fact that Lucas was not going to be the one holding the reigns (although I do agree that the input and involvement of others in the original trilogy was to the benefit of the films) and also the question of Disney's motivation in making new Star Wars "product".

But it looks like these new movies are going to have heart, just like the films that went before them; they're not going to be shallow, effects-driven and cliched as your average Michael Bay flick.
