That’s not how executives will see it in fifteen years or however long we’re talking. Honestly, it would set a dangerous precedent that in no way would be worth it. Better to focus on making the new movies good than pouring energy into a do-over of something most audiences are content to just ignore.

And that’s without even getting into the continuity nightmare it would be. It would be one thing if Disney had been completely abstaining from producing anything set before the OT since the reboot, but the fact is the prequels are already load-bearing elements in the new canon. The Tarkin novel, the Rebels cartoon, the Kanan comic, the Vader comic, the upcoming Obi-Wan and Anakin comic, and the five-and-a-half seasons of still-canonical Clone Wars cartoons would make it impossible without splitting the timeline and creating an alternate continuity, and we saw how well people reacted to that with JJ’s Trek. It would be extremely risky and an enormous amount of work for something that ultimately isn’t terribly important one way or the other. Never going to happen.
