Well I guess when it comes down to it for me my gripe with this is that I don't really think there needs to be another StarWars movie. This of course is just my opnion, but reguardless of who makes it, I question the need for it.
Mainly because I love history, I think a sequel to the original trilogy can actually be fairly interesting with the state that ROTJ left the Empire in.
It'd also be easy to completely fuck it up:
1. Do not rely on old characters -- whether it's Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford et al reprising their old roles, or new actors trying to fill their shoes, leave them totally behind -- as I see it, their stories have largely finished. It's a whole Galaxy, it's not like there aren't other interesting characters with intersting stories to follow.
2. Do not depend on comedy to be the basis of support for the film (ala Episode 1). Light comedy throughout is okay and even beneficial -- the original trilogy certainly has a healthy dose of it.
3. Continue to make the Empire a formidable, albeit collapsing, threat. Killing the Emperor and destroying Death Star II (their most powerful weapon at their disposal) certainly has consquences -- the way I see it, the Empire should be consolidating its forces and trying to strike back harder than before. Conflict ideally will be more intense than it was in the original trilogy (also, do not mistake this with "needs moar special effects"), strategizing from the rebels' side needs to be turned up to 11 at this point. the Empire is at its most dangerous following Episode 6 (at least, it should be in my opinion).
4. Expanding on the previous point, existing planets should be picking sides at this point and desparately fighting for it -- basically I think World War II is an idealized model of how this will play out.
