In reply to arch:
I absolutely loved the original three (4-6), but I was the right age, and the excitement of going to see those at the cinema was brilliant. Yes they've aged, but that original magic has never gone away entirely.
The prequels did little for me, the first being truly awful, just not the same at all.
So, part of me says avoid like the plague. But part of me says, "but its got Han Solo, Chewie, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker in it, how could I not go and see it".
These days I rarely go to the cinema, so I'll probably end up seeing a load of mixed reviews, not ever quite get round to going, and see it on the telly in 2 years time...
