the second half of the article dives straight into fantasy with the notion that the prequels could be deemed Legends and scrapped. As much as I personally would love that, there's not a snowballs chance in hades of it ever happening.

What you are forgetting is that Disney bought this property to suck every last penny out of it. The PT will be remade/rebooted (and in all likelyhood so will the OT) It's just a question of when really (I'm not saying the when will be anytime soon though).

After the ST makes more money than god they only have two ways to go for another trilogy. Forwards or backwards? Episode X, or Episode I? In the new Disney era anything can and will happen. In the Lucas era he did/didn't do things for his own satisfaction, now there is only money dictating the choices.
