   That already happened with episodes I-III.

   The problem with continuing a franchise years later is that   
   you have to introduce new viewers in addition to appeasing   
   the existing fans. I think Episode VII worked well as a   
   sequel AND an introduction but it really depends on where   
   the series goes from here. Episode VII was a lot like the   
   original movies but I don't expect Episode VIII to follow   
   along the same lines. Time will tell.
