Even as early as Return of the Jedi (Ewoks), Lucas's hackishness begins to bubble to the surface as the success of his franchise gave him greater creative control. Then fast forward to the new trilogy and the buck stops with Lucas. The result? Jar Jar Binks and three terrible, terrible films that just manage to coast on the power of their IP. It gives me a lot of hope for the quality of these movies knowing they've taken it away from George Lucas.

This X100. The Making of Episode 1,2,3 showed Lucas had complete control of storyline discussions. Not even a writers-room, Lucas was even writing the dialogue. The worst part? Lucas did the editing himself. He had final say on final cut, and was seen making shit decisions in post-production. I feel bad for him. Selling creative rights and the IP to Disney was admitting the IP is bigger than him and he created something he cannot maintain.
This movie looks to be everything an epic relevant Star Wars movie in 2015 should be and will blow the Prequels out of the water.
No, its not going to rewind the clock to the late 70's and early 80's. And nobody cares.
