I'm probably going to see it, but no rush :D

By now I have mixed opinions about the new movie. Mainly:

PROS:

-it's a new Star Wars movie;

-possibly totally new main characters;

-it seems the plot may be less predictable then the EU was;

-possibly no PT references (no sithheads and microorganisms);

CONS:

-recurring cast (I'm ok if they're just cameos, but it seems that's not the case);

-the teasers gave me the impression it'll be just another Disney/Marvel action movie (lots of action and marketing, like ROTJ);

-their directing also felt very unprofessional to me, something fan-made (in a bad way);

-I don't feel Star Wars actually needs main sequels (or prequels);
