Lets be clear i am not a huge Star Wars fan. I was quite late to the party, not seeing the original films for the first time until the late 90s As they never held huge appeal. While I enjoy them I do think that they are little more than lighthearted daft entertainment.
I personally don't see the problem with what Disney is doing. As far as I'm concerned the two films they've so far got out, Force Awakens and particularly Rogue One are brilliant and head and shoulders above Lucas' prequel trilogy. And if I'm being honest I probably enjoyed Rogue One more than New Hope and Return of the Jedi. The complaint has been made that they aren't doing anything original, well as I've said before it didn't seem to me that the fans really wanted that. Credit to him Lucas tried something different and original with the prequels and many complained.
