I don't think so.

I can't speak for others. Obviously, you disagree. But, yes, I will be excited to see those characters again in 32 years.
But the OT wasn't as meaningful to me as it was to others. For me, Rey is a much more compelling character than Luke. But, again, I don't pretend to speak for anyone else.
As we all know, Star Wars was a powerful moment in cinema history. Will anything ever match that? Probably not. But, for me, this thing is as alive as it's ever been.
The Force Awakens renewed my faith in the franchise. I started watching The Clone Wars and Rebels because of it. I read my first Star Wars novel last year: the first Star Wars novel I've read in my life.
We may be few but there are those of us that love this new version just as much as others love what came before.
