 Just wait till you find out the ultimate Sith overlord is Donald Duck 

 

Back in 1977 things were pretty rotten but SW was exciting, light-hearted and fun. Empire was darker but still a roller-coaster ride, the pre-sequels just seemed, well dull to me. I hope they recapture the fun of the original films. 

You made some good points there Steve, now it seems everything has excellent FX, it's not a big drawing factor anymore I think. Actually the best 'Star Wars' movie I've seen in years was called 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. I'm more interested in the sequel to it than this SW film. 

Bruce, very wise idea there. When I do see it I'm going to try to enjoy it on it's own merits without the baggage. 

Spuce: Just wait till you find out the ultimate Sith overlord is Donald Duck 

I'll be taking the family as soon as the hype dies down. Maybe the week between Christmas and New Years.

And as for expectations, I have none. I just let them tell their story, and if I don't like it, I won't buy the DVD.

........Seems Disney has copied the Marvel movies with an entire series of films lined up, I think this will get them off the wrong foot to start................

They could introduce " Transformers " into the movie plot line?

if this movie is perfect it still probably won't be able to live up to what everyone is expecting. 

I hope the movie is good but I'm not expecting much. I was very happy to see Disney take over the series, being a well-oiled entertainment machine I figured if anyone could save the movies from Lucas's blundering they could. Then they go hire Jar Jar Abrams as the director- who frankly makes Lucas look like John Ford in comparison. I've seen two movies by Abrams, the first Trek reboot was terrible and second a friend talked me into seeing with him. If it wasn't for him I'd have walked out on it, I've seen plenty of bad films but this is on the list of the five worst movies I've ever seen. I expect this movie will make a pile of money but be absolutly horrible.

Seems Disney has copied the Marvel movies with an entire series of films lined up, I think this will get them off the wrong foot to start, hopefully they can recover in time. And beyond that with all the hype and build-up even if this movie is perfect it still probably won't be able to live up to what everyone is expecting. 

Big bloated Disney flick, I suspect.

Got my tickets booked for Sat. I don't often go to the cinema, but i am looking forward to this. I just hope it does not disapoint.

.......The last 3 episodes were so poor, I don't expect much from this one...................

No doubt due to Jar Jar Binks having final script approval...............

Three of us from work are going a week Tuesday (the 22nd).  We bought the tickets weeks ago.  I have high expectations, and hoping they will not be dashed.

I'll probably wait for the DVD.  I am not going to stand in line with the loonies to see this, or any movie.  The last 3 episodes were so poor, I don't expect much from this one.  It will be hard to exceed the first three movies of years ago.

Will see it but will wait a couple weeks.And will get the DVD once it's out later to add to my collection. LOL!

Pssst... Luke's gone over to the Dark Side.....

Meh. I may see it eventually.

I'm more excited to see the roadshow version of Hateful Eight which is actually playing at a theater a mile from my house.

Usually, if the reviewers don't like it, its a good movie and if they like it, it's not good.  I'll probably see it in a year or so.  Haven't seen the last 1 or 2 yet.  Guess I better watch them first.

My wife and I's Christmas tradition is to go to the movies....will see it then.

I don't set expectations....I'll see what I see!

I'll probably go in a week or two.
