FFS.. There are people here who are going to draw the line at a Death Star or Solo offspring, but they repeatedly watched and purchased all the prequels and SEs?! That's a damn head-scratcher for sure.
I saw the prequels once each in theaters, but bear in mind I was 10, 13, and 16 when they came out, and I was honestly dragged to Episode III by my 13-year-old brother. Any re-watch of the prequels since then has been various fan edits. And I haven't watched any of the SE's since the 2004 DVD SE, and only purchased the Blu-Ray set so I can get all the awesome fan projects based on them in good conscience. Haven't actually watched any of the BR discs once.
I don't draw the line at Solo children - I pretty much expected at least one of the new characters to be either a Solo or Skywalker offspring - but yeah, I definitely draw the line at rehashing the superweapon thing that was already rehashed once in Jedi.
I'm still hopeful, though, and I still think this "Death Star III" leak is a bunch of crap. I'm not going to let rumors that are probably false sway my opinion of the new movies at all - I'm going in with an open mind. But TFA is definitely the litmus test for whether I'm going to bother with Disney's version of the post-ROTJ Star Wars universe. I forked over money for one trilogy that I kept hoping would improve but never did - I'm not doing that again.
