The Future of LEGO Star Wars, Star Wars 7 in 2015, How will this effect sets?

With Star Wars Episode 7 coming in 2015 (possibly being pushed back), this leads into a huge discussion whether this will be a big hit or not with LEGO. LEGO Star Wars seems to never go out of trend, but whats fueling it right now seems to be the Clone Wars and 3D movies (which just got canceled). My question to everyone is if Star Wars 7 ties such a different story then the Clone Wars, Prequels and Originals, will it make the value of those sets go up or down? Originals: It's a safe bet that any LEGO set from Episodes 4,5, or 6 are never going to out of trend Prequels: Episode 1 can have good sets (MTT was amazing) but for most part thats where it will slack, Episodes 2 and 3 sets I think will always stay in trend (cause they were decent movies) Clone Wars: This is a big question, a big fear to me! Will kids still like clones (even remember) them after the TV show ends? Will Star Wars 7 blind them enough to the point Clone Wars isn't that big anymore. For a guy makes his YouTube channel off Clones (50%), thats big give or take risk. I mean lets be real, Clone Wars will always be part of Star Wars, but its just TV show and only shows up for 30 minutes of movies in episodes 2 and 3. If Star Wars 7 (guessing now) has a new war, a new army, clones may be old, and whatever the new trend is will be the new attraction (Will kids and collectors want to buy Clone Wars Sets with the trend being over blown by the new Star Wars episodes?). I don't know, maybe I'm being a bit crazy and skeptic about this... :-P But we do one thing, Star Wars will be changed forever with Star Wars 7, if it success, Lucasfilm will branch side movies, TV Shows, and More episodes to follow, the trend from Clone Wars will change to the new generation. Please, share thoughts! (I know I went on a guess and theory, but I want to hear what you have to say!) Thanks David
