The rule of big movies tends to be, at least here in the States, that if the movie is known already to be a stinker there will be NO advance screenings so that the critics will have no time to flame it in advance. An early show could actually be pretty ballsy on George's part and hopefully shows a confidence in the finished product.
The thing I guess I'm most looking forward to in this one is that from everything I've seen so far its actually starting to *feel* like Star Wars. Yeah, it'll be glossy and video game-like in appearence, but there is what looks to be tons of nods to the OT. I don't know if anyone else saw the E3 footage that was recently posted on a.b.starwars but... wow! This is not to say my faith hasn't already been kicked before by the PT... but I'm actually getting vaguely excited. Dammit.
