To me the biggest divergence is that the new star wars are solely made for money by Disney studio and not the singular vision of one man.

The three new films are not Lucasfilms even if Disney can now slap that label on them because they purchased the trademark to it.

Lucas directed 4 out of the six original movies.

He is not writing or directing anything on these new movies nor will he have any say in their editing or be behind the B camera on set like on Jedi.

This is not the sequel trilogy Lucas would have given us in 2005 had he decided to continue on, nor is it any of the other attempts at having it made.

I have a suspicion that many many will look back on the Prequels with more forgiving eyes after the ST, since despite their catastrophic flaws, they are still the movies that Lucas wanted and made, not the movies that a company thought that the public would want. He took a stand and said something about corrupt political leaders and a hero with a tragic flaw, even if the movies had a botched execution.

I'm dreading the appearance of the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo, and dozens of other universe-shrinking callbacks in the Sequels. I am very worried that it will be like Star Trek 09 or Into Darkness, simply because Disney prefers the most marketable Star Wars characters and situations over something new. I just watched Star Trek 09 the other day, and realized near the end that the analytical part of my brain had atrophied from disuse while watching that highly polished entertainment product. It's fun and entertaining, but there's no substance or bold reinterpretation of the material. This is what worries me the most about the Star Wars sequels.
