I can think of no possible way for the sequels to be as bad as the prequels. It's hard to imagine what they would have to do to achieve that.

I only have one film to go by, but I have to agree. Considering how awful Phantom was - no story, terrible script reading, characters created specifically to sell toys and Halloween costumes, scenes that were style over substance, and CGI so poorly rendered that it's nothing more than the animated portion of the film - they can't possibly degrade this franchise anymore than Lucas already has.

According to interviews, Abrams is a huge fan of the original. I have to think that weighs heavily in how he'll make this film. I still think Star Wars is finally in good hands.
