There is still a part of me that can't believe they would be this dumb to essentially do a remake of Episode IV, because fans like me won't even bother with Episodes 8 & 9.
I doubt that'd have a big impact on the profit or success of the new trilogy. For every fan like you there's at least one fan like me (asking for seconds at the nostalgia plate) and dozens of others who'd watch anything even remotely related to Star Wars.
