This is super lame, and they'll do it super ****.

They should at least try for a new storyline.

[Dragon in the Shadows]

I don't see many changes in the basic storyline.  It's already been established in Stargate lore that the Gate was built by the Ancients and used by the Goa'uld to enslave humans.  They can't just change that to having the government building it.  Although that example is a poor one since the government would have to build the Gate on both ends thus opening up a whole host of issues.  Now that being said there are possibilities for the reboot.  They could set it in the future, after the previous movies and series.  Or possibly in an alternate reality, a concept used a few times in SG1 and once in Atlantis so it would fit in with the established physics of the Stargate universe.

They definitely need to bring in a new team and a different alien race to face off against.  Would it be great to see the Goa'uld, Jaffa, Replicators or Ori on the big screen?  Yeah, but they belong to SG1 and unless handled properly it wouldn't be much of a reboot.  And most of them would only work with the alternate timeline possibility since the Jaffa have obtained their freedom and the Replicators and Ori have been defeated.  The future possibility could bring back the Goa'uld, but if they do that they'll have to give them new hosts.
