What you said Matt :0
Much to my surprise I am pretty optimistic about this move. At least there will be more Star Wars films and a chance to bring some of the AWESOME elements from the OT.
It sounds like they will pay alot of attention to the characters and the existing detail and continuity. I don't know about anyone else but I really enjoyed the latest Tron film and to a lesser degree John Carter. Tron was really nicely done, great design (great props most importantly) the story worked in well with the original and there was a sense of homage about the way they treated the original material. I think they could quite easily apply this to SW.
On the other hand I've had the opportunity through work to read some of the 'brand/ positioning' gobbledegook of disney about what is acceptable and what is not on screen and lets just say it makes for interesting reading
the thought of stormtroopers returning to the big screen is......exciting in an almost inappropriate kind of way
also lucas wont be directing which has got to be good
