Instead of rebooting I am thinking reboot the whole thing. The original characters are iconic and need to be preserved. Hollywood has a thing about making great concepts worse ie focusing on JarJar Bings instead of Darth Mual, half of a movie centered on Ewoks instead of inner turmoil and balancing of the Force, Anakin chasing and wooing Padme instead of showing the scene where he kicks some much needed sandpeople's butt I..."thanks Obama!"
In short the SW camp should take a clue and tip from Battle Star Galactica. This is a reboot that I think "Did it right" They rebooted the characters and tied in the original iconic items as part of the story. The concept remained stunning while keeping true to the feel of the original. SW take a hint and a clue...
So to prevent this travesty from happening I think it would b better just to leave the story where its. It ended! The good guys won! Light triumphed over Dark! The actors are old, (and some are just acting like plain ol' jerks). The extending the story line has been tried in books and comics so its hard to tell what is cannon and what isn't. And there are TOO MANY cooks in the pot!
So LucasFilm/Disney I say take a risk! Reboot the whole thing. Go with Luca's original concept (but SANS LUCAS!). Explore the adventures of Anakin StarKiller. Show a darker more indepth character of the complete study of a character through is development against a interstellar background filled with slivers or romance, comedy and memorable characters (some familiar some new).
But most of all, listen to what the fans want and give it to them. If the fans want Jar Jar, Ewoks, cute cuddly kids as heroes then let the fans have them. I just will no longer be a fan. Because Star Trek took the model that I enjoy and proves to be a worth while project. Or I can continue to catch up on Battle Star Galactica!
some one at least is trying to do it right
