Though I'm tempering my expectation...because I saw rave reviews last year bout this time and they were fluffing some pillows...
The parts above are exactly...if true...the reasons this might be a real Star Wars movie that adds to the lore.
George lucas has run around for years saying "they're basically kids movies"
...BULL...that's what a guy that made bad commercialism prequels says to save face.
Star Wars sticks with you as a kid through adulthood...gen xers (now old)...appreciate mark hamill more now than ever.
I think a better quote of what Star Wars was and should be is this:
"Star Wars is a different kind of fairy tale for a generation growing up WITHOUT heroes...in a bigger, more complicated world"
I liked that guys take...
...it was george lucas, around 1990 when had decided that he would never be willing to pay to make more due to lack of technology.
He musta ran outta money or something afterwards...
Back in 77 most Star Wars critics labeled it as a kids fantasy and even more put it on par with Western version of Wizard of Oz which to me means its a kids movie that the family can enjoy.

"The excitement of those who call it the film of the year goes way past nostalgia to the feeling that now is the time to return to childhood.”
"It’s aimed at kids — the kid in everybody.”

"Star Wars will do very nicely for those lucky enough to be children or unlucky enough never to have grown up."
