Please don't nerd out by this question, but what are these next movies about anyway?
As to if the movies will be good, is it even possible that they could be worse than the last three?
Don't "nerd out"? Man, you are on the wrong forum...
As I understand it, George Lucas always envisioned there being nine movies in the franchise, as least as early as the mid-late '80's. Although it seems between raising a family and no longer having the producers at Fox to temper his creativity, he lost of a bit of his mojo directing the last 3 prequels. Wisely, he handed the reins to others who are hopefully more capable. Considering what Abrams did with Star Trek, I have little hope he'll do better with Star Wars.
All that said, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was looking forward to seeing it. The trailer is very undeveloped, as it should be, as they are still shooting the film. It's actually impressive they have that much post-processing done. On the other hand, thanks to Peter Jackson, I've learned not to let my hopes get too high.
