The prequels were bad because they were bad, it doesn't have anything to do with targetting kids. Just do a better job with VII-IX and I think it's entirely possible to make movies that reach both audiences (prequels vs OT). Hell, as far as box office goes, they'll sell themselves just with the Star Wars name. Make them actually good and they'll blow the prequel receipts out of the water.

But how many well known "Live Action" brands have a massive appeal to both 4 year olds and 40 year olds?
Say what you will about the prequels but it wasn't just 4 year olds that generated $2.5 billion at the box office, millions more in DVD and Blu-Ray, etc.
IF Episode VII can pull off the unthinkable, like a $1 Billlion Dollar Live Action Pixar movie that appeals to young and old alike, it'll be the first time in history.
