Arghmage: The problem with that is that they just exchange the old audience with new audience. It would be nice to have something that the old audience would like to see as well.
Well, they did that between TOS and TNG. In 20 years a new generation will complain that a new Star Trek is different (if we're lucky to have one). Personally I didn't like the Battlestar Galactica reboot, but a lot of people did, so I see no problem with it. The more science fiction the better, IMO, regardless of its exact form or inspiration. Just like I felt that Into Darkness was a nice homage to Wrath of Kahn. Personally I disliked TNG until the 5th season or so, but that doesn't mean that I think it shouldn't have happened.
In general I prefer more choice, and don't get too hung up on differences. I have my personal preferences, but I don't hold any of my likes with religious fervor like some fans do.
As for Star Wars, I think that more movies mean a higher chance of something I enjoy, like more Marvel movies meant more movies to enjoy (instead of endless Spiderman reboots).
