Remember, people, that George is still in the background for Episode VII, and has anyone forgotten about the hype for Episode I 15 years back? With Abrams being a Spielberg clone at best, we might have another perfect storm in our hands. Hopefully Abrams has more respect for SW than he had for ST.

If he has as much respect for Star Wars as he did for Star Trek, you will likely be left to mutter to yourself in a corner.

Nah, I'll be there muttering with him. And that's exactly what I expect from JJ's SW: a very safe, appeals-to-all, Hollywood piece of crap that feels good in the moment but then feels empty for reasons you can't quite put your finger on... then the realization will hit that it's no more than a Best Of collection of moments from the OT with all the soul sucked out.

OR- maybe it'll be a very interesting tale of aging heroes dealing with deeper, more mature themes.

Nah, it'll be their kids running around cracking 'wise' and swingin' laserswords.

EDIT- What a grumpy post! No more replying before coffee!
