What, you're saying we should like a film series just because of "how well they do"?
Why would you ask a question like this when nothing in my post even remotely suggested this?

I don't give a filoffal "how well they do." I decide for myself what I like and what I don't.
I don't care how much you do or do not like films I will decide for myself what I like and what I do not.

If a movie bombs at the box office but I enjoyed it then guess what, I liked it. If it's a huge hit but I dislike it then you can get stuffed if you think I should like just because a ton of other people do.
If a movie does well at the box office but you do not like it, I do not care. Just do not act like your opinion means more than the millions of others, out there. That comes off as being a smug, stuck-up, shitty, moron. No one wants to come off like that (hint: that was my point which you clearly missed).

Maybe it will. I doubt it but maybe the Sequel Trilogy will surprise me.
Lemme be more clear: I hope it does extremely well and it makes even more people like the Star Wars universe AND I want it to further alienate the smug, stuck-up, shitty, moron types that thought their opinion of the PT was godly, better than everyone else's, and absolute.* I want the Star Wars franchise to drop those types of fans. Hopefully, the ST will be the last straw for them and they will move on to Warhammer or something. lol
*You know this is going to happen but the shitty part about it is...they won't abandon the Star Wars franchise. It will continue to be a way of life, for them. It gives them something to do: complain about how much they didn't like Star Wars and talk down to others who enjoyed the films.

Correction, we enjoy having our own free will and not mindlessly worshipping popular things just because they're popular.
"We"? So you're grouping yourself with the types that are stuck-up, shitty, smug, morons who think their opinion is better than everyone else's? Why would you want to be associated with those types?

All I'm saying is think for yourself. If you like something that happens to be popular that's great. But like it because that's what YOU think, not just because a bunch of people tell you to.
Why would you need to tell someone this ever? Maybe if I was 6 years old, this type of talk would be appropriate. "Think for yourself, little Timmy. Do not let others tell you to not like things."

I am sitting over here in camp skeptical for the time being. My current feeling is that the saga has been done, no reason to make another movie. Will I go see it? Yes, that's a given, I just don't see the need for it.
Yep, agreed. And don't see the need to potentially ruin it...
Star Wars is still great with what it is now. Guess it will always be regardless anyway depending on how you look at it. The new movie stories affect the characters, rather then leave it unknown. Like Luke, leia, Han.... Perhaps it's best to put Star Wars in a new direction and just leave these characters for supporting roles. Which I think Jj is doing anyway. Still sucks when ep 1-6 is a story of light/dark then start all over again....
For me, I was at the perfect age where the PT weren't just movies, they were an experience integrated into my childhood.
I watch TPM and remember the days on the playground playing as Darth Maul or Qui-Gon.
I watch ROTS and remember the earlier days of KMC and all the fun we had here leading up to it.
The PT was a childhood going into adulthood experience for me that I will always cherish forever.
I still have a cardboard cutout of Jar Jar in my bedroom sitting next to my Lisa Ann posters.
