If you create a franchise, and let it pretty much sit for 15-20 years, when you come back to it, should it still be considered a kid franchise? Your original audience has grown up, so should the franchise have grown up with them, or should it ignore it's previous fans and try a "fresh start".
I mean, if Episode 1 hadn't depended on the fact it was a Star Wars movie, the power behind the franchise, if they had just called it "Anakin's Adventure 1", would it have really done that well as a kid's movie?
