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.
It's strange that you keep bringing up that 2.5 billion box office number like it actually means anything. I know that you know that if you adjust for inflation the original trilogy outgrosses the prequels by more than a billion dollars in the US alone. The Star Wars brand is the only reason the prequels made any money.

As far as a live action brand with a massive appeal to both 4 year olds and 40 year olds, isn't that what Star Wars has always been, going all the way back to '77?
