Let's just say I'm a lot more excited for Harmy's upcoming version of Return of the Jedi than I am for Star Wars: Episode VII.

I feel the same way. I'm certain the new films won't be as much of a letdown as the prequels, but that's not really saying a whole lot.

For me, overwriting the Thrawn trilogy automatically starts them off with 2.95 strikes against them. I have far more respect for Timothy Zahn as a storyteller than I do for Jar Jar Abrams, and it won't take much to strike out completely.

On some level, I think I actually want them to suck. The worse they are, the more easily I can disregard them.
