For me? No. No matter how good future Star Wars films are, they’ll all share the fatal flaw of not making an impression on me as a child. The originals will always have that magical nostalgia value that it’s literally impossible to overcome. I may well recognize that they may make technically superior films to the OT, and frankly you could already make a case for TFA, but they’ll never top it in my eyes. I’m just glad future generations will be able to have a Star Wars of their own just as I did at their age, despite Lucas’s insistence that would never happen and there were only 6, and I feel sorry for kids for whom that was the prequels and the special editions.
