The backlash from the prequels practically killed him off and then he goes and butchers the originals by remaking them.
The originals will never see the light of day again because of Lucas. If you have an old VHS then save them and digitise them, they are as rare as hens teeth already.

We are not talking heavy hitting drama here, it's Star Wars, you need pew-pews and wooshes and even Lucas cocked that up.
JJ will not.
