Actually, I wouldn't. In fact, even for a movie I DID want to see (Ep. III), I waited until cheap night at the movies to see it. I didn't see it the first week it was open. Not to mention when AotC came out, I didn't see it until it was on video, and TPM, I saw about 2 weeks after initial release.
But yes, I'd eventually go see it, because that's how big a Star Wars fanatic I am. But if I had my choice (which is basically what he's asking), I'd prefer they didn't do Episodes 7 to 9, but instead created a brand new storyline.
