Any spoilers? :)
Depends what you term a spoiler. It does of course mention parts of the movie's storyline, but there's no huge amount of detail that I could see
in a quick skim-read.

I think I should have closed my eyes and ears... maybe my nose as well. :)
Well, the JarJar Abrams' new movies do somewhat stink, ;-)
thanks to be largely being just lazy-ass knock-offs of what George Lucas
had already done. :-(

If all these 3 new Star Wars sequels were just about attracting new
audience with new characters, I think not even George Lucas could do
the job right. It's still interesting to see how Leia, Luke and Han
Solo vanished from the series. :)
The franchise doesn't need silly knock-off reboot movies to attract new audience. It's been doing that for decades all by itself simply as fans
grow up and watch the movies with their children (and grandchildren).
What the fans wanted were new stories which fit within the established universe. Not lazy-ass, "Politically Correct" recreations of the originals.

I don't know how far this could go. New-born might not find Star Wars philosophy interesting.
BTW, TV stations in Hong Kong periodically rebroadcast old movies
including Star Wars.

Hollywood is always about selling peoples called stars, right? And toy manufacturers want to cash from Star Wars by selling items.
It's Christmas time, which means broadcast TV here in New Zealand plays
a pile of movies (partly due to regular shows having a break) ... so
that means the entire Harry Potter series played one-per-week, yet again.
Occasionally they play the Star Wars movies, normally around teh time a
new one was released, but they haven't done that in a while. Probably something to do with Disney's buyout changing the rights.
Star Wars tends to use mostly unknowns, so "stars" doesn't really come
into it. As for toys, they'll sell those no matter what the sotry is, so rehashing the originals isn't relevant there either.

And Die Hard... but less frequently!
And Lethal Weapons... again less frequently!
