Unfortunately Star Wars is a brand now and you have to balance the timbre and tone of the existing brand with that of any new offerings. Mr. Smith can't take Little Timmy to see Shadow expecting something with the mood and levity of Episode I and get something more like SAW I.
The huge mistake was making I-III so much lighter than IV-VI because pushing the franchise into a somber and harsh direction in the future is going to clash with audiences' expectations. The saving grace may be the violence in the Star Wars video games and the rating scale of the movie itself.
