This does look rather tasty!

The sheer excitement in Star Wars fandom for any new SW movie is quite incredible, but many failed to live up to the expectations.  When Star Wars was released, there had not been anything quite like it, and it has inspired generations of people ever since.  The problem, I think, is that when Star Wars was seen for the first time, there WAS nothing like it, and nothing could compare.  A lot of people are still gauging the expectations of later films against the emotional impact of their first viewing of the original, and it's never going to live up to that first experience.

I liken it a little to The Matrix.  When that movie came out, nothing else like it had been done, not in that way.  While elements of story and action had been done before, nothing had pulled them together into such a visually and emotionally compelling package.  Much of what was seen had never been done before in a movie, let alone a single movie.  Later Matrix movies not only had to live up to that first experience, but also had to contend with being a 'known factor'.  Now that you knew what to expect, the movies that followed could not rely on that 'freshness' for impact.

Star Wars was the same.  The first time you saw it, it was like nothing you'd ever seen before.  Later movies could not capitalize on that freshness factor, because you already knew what to expect.

Am I the only one who doesn't absolutely hate the crossguard on that lightsaber?

I think it's awesome... looks like a crusader sword.



I also like the motion (fizz) to the light flow.

You are not the only one who doesn't absolutely hate it, and now that I see it up close and personal I like it even better. Of course, though, there have been complaints about the way it looks.

And that may actually a peak of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, as there is a rumor going around that in this film he does turn to the dark side, at least temporarily.

And there is also a rumor out that after this film is released to theaters, Princess Leia will officially become a Disney Princess. Which means she will be the 1st Princess from somewhere other than Earth, and she will be the 1st Princess who was a live action character instead of the typical animation character.

From my research (on the web)

Luke does turn to the dark side. But then gets saved by Leia...

Luke turns back and makes a Jedi academy were he trains future Jedi.


Now, I'm not so sure to who that Sith is... maybe a dark side secret apprentice?

Anyway - I can't wait to see it! I hope JJ does a great job!

There are total spoilers out there now. I read a couple big ones unmarked. Really blows.

Hate the internet sometimes.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
