Let's be honest, the prequels were bad (from our perspective) but they still made astronomical amount of money. It is quite naive to assume that today's general public and kids are after qualities of OT. Disney sure isn't after satisfying a few of us "old timers" with good taste in films. They are after money and they will make the films in a way to follow the today's trends and to appeal for the wider audience.

Yep, I agree, they made a lot of money, but Star Wars has got itself into a niche market, it's not mainstream anymore, I've got 2 kids one 13 and one 6, the 13year old had a lot of the figures & ships at the time, but they're in the attic....the 6year old is into Pixar Cars, Toy Story...all the current stuff....Star Wars doesn't come into it, I've tried the Clone Wars cartoon, but that doesn't hold his attention....it's too boring & nerdy.....his words

Disney wants the gold

Exactly. Now if the kids find even the prequels and CW cartoons boring then OT would be like taking them to the theatre to watch Shakespeare's play.
