I'm afraid that in that particular day and age, it would have been utterly impossible for George Lucas to release anything remotely resembling what we had built it up to be. I-M-possible. It was our Holy Grail of sci-fi prequel/sequels. I think it humanly impossible to produce a movie that would have lived up to my expectations.
I will also add... trailers. Trailers have changed UH-LOT since way back. In fact, I've started the practice of trying to avoid any information at all (except the title of course), of upcoming attractions and had some fairly astonishing results. I mean... they're not just teasers these days, they're all the best parts of the friggin' movie! It's as if all they care about is getting you to buy the one ticket (imagine that) - so they blow the whole wad on a tiny minute of mind blowing sensory input, probably to compete with the other sensory info slamming us day in and out, and hoping you think - "Oh man!! That looks awesome!! I'm goin' to see that!!" when in reality, you've just seen all the best parts. Tried it with Episode 2 - didn't see ONE bit of ONE trailer (yes, it was a great test in self control and media avoidance as well,) LOVED THE MOVIE. Try it on one of the upcoming sequels. You'll see. It's no guarantee by any means, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Reply

@avconsumer2: I agree that it would have been nigh unto impossible for him to live up to everyone's expectations.
I do not agree that it would have been nigh unto impossible to substantially improve upon the movies he ended up making. There are some simple, more or less objective principles he failed to observe.
