Fans of the new Trilogy: No, they won't!

In my opinion, the real issue is not that they killed Luke but the set of circumstances that brought him into this position in the first place (including that whole 'thought about killing his Nephew in his sleep'-thing and that he basically ran away afterwards to leave the galaxy and his friends in the lurch).
But in my opinion the biggest problem of these films already starts with TFAs basic premise, which basically negates everything accomplished in the OT, with the result that Ep.VII starts at square one again: Leia and Han broke up after their son turned to the dark side, the New Republic proved powerless to stop the rise of a new Empire (becoming complete non-entity that easily gets taken out), Luke tried and utterly failed at founding a new Jedi Order… and almost all of this happens offscreen, leading to a gigantic disconnect between Eps.VI and VII that didnt exist between III and IV. All of this makes the happy end of "Return of the Jedi" (whose very title now sounds very hollow, doesn't it?), which used to be a source of inspiration and happyness for me, very hard to watch without getting depressed.

I can ignore or rationalize a lot of these films flaws, but this is the one I can't get over. Nothing the prequels did ever influenced my enjoyment of the OT to this extent.
