I get that we've all been burned before, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect this to be one of my four favorite Star Wars movies.

Talk about lowering expectations...

I think it's pretty much impossible for it to be worse than the prequels--so worst-case scenario, it'll make you retch, but a lot less than you're used to during a new Star Wars film. But that's not the same thing as saying it won't be awful.

And does it matter? I plan on waiting for the reviews on this. If the reviews (the ones I trust) are bad, I really won't feel the slightest remorse in skipping it (I feel quite a bit of remorse for not skipping the prequels due to the poor reviews). If watching fan preservations continues to be the only way to actually enjoy the Star Wars universe, that's not really so bad. I don't need new films.

Why not just see it for yourself and form your own opinion? There are a few movies I enjoyed in which my trusted reviewers didn't or just didn't like as much as I did.
