Considering remaking the prequels would fall under the category of “things that would make Disney a fresh ton of money”, I would say yes, eventually they will. But I can’t imagine them ever doing something that seemingly controversial in a long, long time, not for another good 20 years. The prequel era is something that I think Disney will shy away from indefinitely at this point because of how much of a risk it is, returning to the spot that the creator of Star Wars himself failed miserably in.

Also, you’ve got to factor in George’s “Vision”, and how there was probably something in the contract that prevented it from being tampered with. If Disney’s having a tough time releasing the OUT, you can bet they won’t be altering the backstory anytime soon.

While I can see them retrying the backstory, I can’t see them doing it the same way, Episodes I, II, and III in theaters, again. In 1999 it made sense; not so much in a future era that would grow up with the sequel trilogy. Looking back, this whole Star Wars nonsense would be increasingly confusing for a newcomer. What was once a a straight 1 to 6 Saga would become twelve main movies, six of which are alternate trilogies, and then add a zillion spin offs riddled over all of that. Well, I shouldn’t say ‘would become’ because that’s already the direction we’re headed.
