Not just because it's Star Wars but because Mark Hamill will play a much larger part and it's Carrie Fisher's last movie.
They were both awesome in all the original three, and while it is sad she died, it is still a new generation of viewers/fans. I really am not sure even with both of them in this new one, if it would live up to what I got used to. I really do get the appeal though. Again, it is no different than those who have their favorite James Bond.
Of course it is a new generation. It's a transition from one set of character to a new set of characters. We saw the same with the Star Trek movies in the 90s moving from the original cast to the Next Generation cast.
And, no doubt, in a few years, if they manage to resurrect Star Trek successfully, we'll see a transition to a new, younger cast (I don't count the Abrams movies as "true" Trek. You don't change 40 years of established 'Trek history on a whim...)
