I think George Lucas may have sold too cheap. Disney is going to be hauling away cash from this thing by the dump truck load.
True, marketing is everywhere right now.

I grew up watching episodes 4-6. I had high hopes back when they started making the prequels that didn't pan out. (Ok... Episode 2 was pretty good). I still like the franchise and will be seeing it once the hype dies down.
It became clear to me I was a fan when I found myself annoyed trying to get an 8 year old nephew to understand that Darth Vader was actually Anakin Skywalker. His mother was obviously failing as a parent by only showing him Phantom Menace.
I do, however, have some trepidation going into episode 7. First, Disney. Enough said.
Secondly, I worry that this will be another despicable two hour toy commercial like Phantom Menace was.
Lastly, J.J. Abrams. I know I'm in the minority here and that's fine, but I do NOT like what he did with the Star Trek franchise no matter how brilliantly it was executed. We are living in dangerous times for science fiction.

Space Operas, then?
Aye: an epic, space-opera fantasy:

That, and a fine, thorough, and entertaining lesson in Political Science if you are paying sufficient attention.
*Ahem* "Nute Gunray" as a capitalist warmonger wasn't exactly subtle.
Yeah, it was a bit frightening to watch America played out on the big screen in the form of sci-fi. Luckily nobody can strangle me from across the galaxy, at least, lol.
