I honestly felt nothing. I'm glad you're excited and hopeful, but George Lucas took a greasy shit in my heart a long long time ago.#dontcare I haven't watched it yet, but I feel more inclined to agree with Posehn. The prequels so thoroughly raped and murdered my love for Star Wars that this is just another movie now. I will still see it, and I hope my son loves it, but it would have to be very special to rekindle that romance. |

If it helps, Lawrence Kasdan (co-writer of Empire and Return of the Jedi) is co-writer with Abrams on this installment.

Keep it up, J.J., and you might actually make a decent hash of this.
My expectations are pretty even - Lucas teabagged his own IP and J.J.'s daliances with other people's IP has not borne anything good so far (though you can at least partially distribute the blame for the Star Trek clusterfuckage to the honking shit-bird that sits in Bob Orci's brain-pan), to the point where the two Episode VII teasers are now the sum total of 'things J.J. Abrams did that I liked' to date.
Having said that, love the Tatooine visuals and I now have a proper John Williams-on. You've been phoning it in for years, Williams. Time to get back to your best work.

I hated the prequels (enough that I never even saw the 3rd one) and I'm still all-in on this.

The 3rd one is my son's favorite and aside from the fuckstupid of Padme dying of a broken heart it's one of the most fun. I don't hate it and think it's the best of the sequels and just below Jedi. Try and catch it on TV when Spike runs it in a few weeks.

Fiancee is a Harrison Ford fan, showed her the end of the trailer. She looked at my crotch. I hid my nerd boner. But she knew.

I still expect this to be a shallow husk of Star Wars much like what happened with Star Trek (lots of homage to Star Wars' most famous hooks, but no substance)... but I gotta admit I am now almost sure to see this in a theater.

I don't trust how heavily it's banking on nostalgia from the OT to get me excited. It suggests they might not be bringing anything new to the table that's worth getting excited about. I guess just regurgitating the OT is a step up from the prequels, in the sense that vomit is a step up from crap. |

Lucas did more damage with the fucking constant "reworking" of the original movies than he did with the prequels for me. I watch the prequels and say "meh", I can't watch the original movies ever again because they have been reworked so much.
Of course, I am not really mega geek about any of this stuff.

Having said that, love the Tatooine visuals It's a new desert planet called Jakku. Also, the silver Stormtrooper is Gwendoline Christie's character.  |

I'd like a story that ties back to the OT but is also capable of standing on its own. If it's just going to be two hours of "hey, remember the Millennium Falcon? Look, here it is! And Harrison Ford is in it!" I'd rather just watch the OT again. I don't know for certain yet that that's what this movie is going to be, but if the trailers are any indication I'll probably be happier catching it on Netflix. But some people liked Into Darkness, so there's no accounting for taste. |

/darth-vader-nooooo.jpg Oh right. That scene, too. I got what it was going for, but that whole moment ruined it. That said, without the goddamn Noooo it was still better than "dying of a broken heart." |

Between Avengers 2 and the REALLY of Terminator: Genisys, I think I've seen enough Star Wars trailers. I'm sold.
It would be insulting to call this film merely serviceable to the franchise. I think it will deliver. Maybe some Fridge Logic after viewing but Disney knows how important the success of this film is to their bottom line.

The brand is strong enough that it'll be a financial success even if it's worse than the prequels. People will watch it, bitch about how much they hated it, and then watch it three more times in the theater.

Into Darkness was the best Star Trek anything ever.
edit: though the one where they went back to the drunk inventor of the warp drive wasn't bad, if you ignore Reading Rainbow and the child molesting #2.

Seems alright I guess. I'll watch it of course. They deserve a chance to make up for the prequels. But if it sucks I'm out on all the new Star Wars stuff.

Based on the masked Sith and what I've read about KOTOR and the Canon review, I see Bioware's work strongly influencing the film. Whether it's Notable Lore Character A or B revealed in the first or second film, who knows.
The monomyth Joseph Campbell outlined which Star Wars drew significant influence from appears to be making a comeback with another Skywalker tale. I wouldn't be surprised if the film calls attention to this.
Also: Stormtrooper with a flamethrower? Seriously?

I had the same thought. Maybe the flamethrower has little lightsabers that pop out of the nozzle. |

Just a trailer, but more instantly memorable visuals than all the prequels combined. I am almost convinced this movie will not start in a conference room.

That's because it is actual dudes in suits instead of CG fake looking garbage.  |

That's a very McQuarrie-inspired matte painting behind those Clone troopers, too, instead of a CGI backscape. Even if it is a digital matte it's better than the faux occlusion of CGI.
