I'm guessing Kasdan and everyone else involved will want to forget the PT ever happened. I'm pretty confident that whilst Disney is known for sometimes making shlock, they're going into this with the mindset of "ok, George clearly has a mental illness and a severe case of narcissism, but let's take everything beloved about the franchise and apply it to this". Maybe they'll get it all wrong, but I don't think it could EVER be as bad as the prequels.

They hired Kasdan. I repeat, they hired Kasdan. Also, they hired Drew Struzan do the poster art. The mouse is trying, and it's clear they are going back to some roots that worked.
