@Elranzer: What about the Pacino version of Scarface? And the Rick Moranis Little Shop of Horrors was itself a remake. It CAN be done, but it's just rare to see it done properly.
They broke up because Abrams is a hack and couldn't be bothered to do anything but rehash the old formula. Instead of building on the evolution of the characters, he reset them all and robbed Star Wars of its growth.
