I can't see how Lucas vision would have been as bad as the Disney sequels, that really have no redeeming features. The one thing that probably separates the prequals from the sequels is the level of world building. Disney have based nearly all their streaming content on Clone War era stuff - because it has the most interesting characters and ideas, perhaps even moreso than the OT.
Compare that with the sequels, and what do we get? Super-weapons, Sand planets, Ice planets, Star Destroyers, AT-ATs, etc. In other words, absolutely no threads you can make further content out of. The only really interesting thread/character was Finn, and Disney would really have to get their chequebook out to get John Boyega back.
So, at least with George we might have got a few more interesting ideas, although I agree I'm not the least bit confident that the films would have been any better from a storytelling POV (albeit it would be difficult to make them worse).
