Considering the prequels are what they are I'm sure JJ will have made the film at least watchable without having to be inebriated. I'd say worse case scenario it will be a 7/10 film. Also if the movie end up being great you'll regret not being there on that historic opening night.

If I had as much confidence in JJ's abilities as you seem to, I might be more excited. But frankly, on the anticipation scale, TFA doesn't rank as high as the possibility of another Lilo and Stitch direct-to-video sequel. Hey, they could both be good, right? Also they might not. My happiness does not hinge on getting either of those questions answered. Ever, really.

I don't regret not seeing Star Wars on opening night--I don't see how I could possibly regret not seeing TFA on opening night.

I think we're just on opposite ends of the caring spectrum.

I might not have the most confidence in JJ but the fact that Kasdan co-wrote this movie qualms my doubts concerning the film. Also JJ being a fan of the series means he probably gave this his all and more.

If the film is as good as any of the OT films I think you will regret it. Especially if you hear something from a review (or anyone else) that you wouldn't want to know.
