I'm not sure if that's his plan, but it has that effect. He was smart enough to do a couple things so it could be true. He is very liberal with allowing parodies and fair use requests which also keep Star Wars popular.
Basically it's the Disney approach, every few years you make a big hype about your old movies and for that generation of children, it becomes a part of their childhood, which keeps the franchise going for another generation. That's why Disney opens the "vault" and releases an old movie on DVD every few years. Because new parents rush out and buy it and those kids get hooked on the movies.

desperate attempts to cash in by milking the dead cow which is his fan base only works for money making purposes, it doesn't make him a genius... It has completely killed the next generation of fans. There aren't going to be any.. you think all those people dressing up like the characters are going to jump at the chance to show their kids these 'new' versions of the films? no way... well maybe a few nut cases but not enough to keep it going.
starwars wont be fixed until he drops, as unfortunate as that is to say...
i still like the new cartoons though, way more edgy, i have a feeling he has zero to do with it...
