Here's what makes me cautious about TFA:

1. What worked in the late 70s/early 80s won't necessarily translate well for modern audiences.

2. JJ Abrams's last film was Star Trek Into Darkness; and the rest of his filmography isn't exactly stellar.

3. Harrison Ford hasn't been in a good movie since maybe The Fugitive, and the last time he played an iconic character it was Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.

4. Remember when we were excited about Episode I, and thought it would bring Star Wars back to its glory days? History might be repeating itself, as the motivations for making TFA are the exact same as Prequels 15 years ago.

1. If visuals, I'm sure JJ is not making it look exactly like it is from then. If story, the OT is still cherished now. We just need a little extra freshness from modern screenwriting thrown into attract today's audiences.

2. JJ didn't grow up as a Trek fan, so he didn't have the same passion, love, and care for the series as he did very much for Star Wars.

3. Lucas isn't here to F things up, since he was the one that pretty much ruined everything that could have been good about that film.

4. It's still too early to prove any of that happening just yet. And so far, of the one trailer we saw there was nothing completely stupid in it like Jar-Jar and clumsy robots like in the TPM teaser. Sure though, I still don't think TFA will be as good as SW and ESB, from what has been officially seen so far, there is little reason to doubt it could be the first good SW film since ESB, but things could change in the upcoming months, since you just never know.
