Any Star Wars fans on SBG? Are you excited for the upcoming movie?
-
I am a fan and definitely excited!!!

In some ways I am, but my excitement is dampened by two things:
- I sill hate what JJ did to the franchise-formerly-known-as-Star Trek and is now ruined beyond all hope
- All the excessive merchandising is turning me off -- Stars Wars Soup? Really? What's next? Star Wars condoms?
-
I'm more excited than I expected myself to be. I still remember seeing the very first Star Wars commercials on television, collecting the very first action figures, etc.
I don't like what JJ Abrams turned Star Trek into, but from what he's said, I think that he has learned some lessons and is being more respectful of the source material here.
-
Very excited. Star Wars hit when I was six so it was my childhood.
-
Let keep this spoiler free please :D.

I saw the first (now fourth) on the second day of its release when I was fifteen. I had no idea what it was about, but a friend of my father had received four tickets he was not going to use, so he gave them to us.
The theater had a huge screen, so that first empire ship coming from the top of the screen really felt as if it was coming over us. I still have the premiere program from that night.
My eldest will be attending the midnight showing tonight. Half my office is down right giddy about it today.

Star Wars; "Meh"!
As cinema, it is O.K. As Science Fiction literature it may be one level above "Indiana Jones" but I think it is second rate when compared to stories like "Dune" or "Starship Troopers; (Although the film versions of both were very disappointing)
What I find incredulous, (and downright scary), is how so many people can treat it as some kind of "religion" or "deep philosophical truth"! It is lightweight storytelling/entertainment at best; nothing more.

Yesterday's Star Ledger (Newark, NJ) had a good column that graded all the Star Wars movies. Here's the link:

I finally saw Episode VII the night before last. As a Star Wars fan since 1977, I will just say that I loved The Force Awakens!
-
YES! And I Was very excited about this movie, got sick opening night so had to wait a few days to see it and I'll just leave my thoughts on the movie over in the spoiler discussion thread
-
I enjoyed the original trio but, frankly, I don't seem as interested now as I was then. I'll probably wait until it's available on iTunes before I bother with it.
-
Saw it last night. I enjoyed it as much as I did the original, 1977 release.
-
Saw it couple of days a go, enjoyed it...not perfect, but what film is? Looking forward to the next one now!
-
Finally took my daughter to go see it. Both of us really enjoyed it.
