I think the original trilogy is like an older generation's Harry Potter. It's never going to win a Nobel Prize in Literature, but it's a compelling story with an engrossing setting which had the good fortune to turn into a pop culture phenomenon. |

New trailer looks good. Though from watching it I get the feeling, that they won't try anything too outlandish given what happened with the prequels and the end product won't be too original. |

I'll see the film next week, and I've not been reading or watching anything about it, but I just decided to watch the trailer in the OP. Now, I'm somewhat familiar with the Expanded Universe, and I was aware they were going to disregard it anyway, but from the looks of things this just pisses all over what had been established. If I recall, the New Republic is formed, Luke Skywalker re-establishes the Jedi Order, trains a million of the bastards, and peace returns to the galaxy (except when they want another story). But the trailer makes it look like the events of the civil war and the Jedi themselves have passed into legend, and that the Empire is still around no less. That's like George Orwell rising from the grave to clarify that we should ignore the appendix of Nineteen Eighty-Four and to find out if the boot stamping on a face carries on we should read the newly-published sequel. |

The appeal of Star Wars slipped me by. I remember watching them on VHS at my Granddad's when I was youngish, and while they were really entertaining they just didn't 'click' with me in the way they do for some people. Even back then, I could understand the pull of the tropes and characters and aesthetic, but I never had that feeling of a fantasy world opening up to me in the way others experienced. |

It was pretty average to be honest. It almost felt similar to the latest Avengers films with all the appearances of old characters and very similar look-a-likes cropping up. I think they went a bit far in making the First Order Nazi like, the Empire in the old films never felt that evil (if you exclude Vader and the Emperor), it came off a bit try hard this time. |

Saw the movie this weekend and quite enjoyed it for the most part. My two biggest gripes so far are that plot-wise it's basically rehashed Episode 4 and that Rey was good at everything from piloting old ships to fighting with ancient weapons and her troublesome past that was practically the only thing to flesh out her character was not expanded upon at all. They'll probably address this in later films, but as a self-contained story Episode 7 doesn't work that well. Loved Kylo Ren and his struggle with the light side. |

This might sound weird but it feels like Star Wars has become the Call of Duty of the movie industry. What used to be a competent, well-paced series has become drunk on its own popularity whilst simultaneously running out of good new ideas, so now it just throws 100x as much money doing the same things it has always done but at 100x the scale. Any former semblance of pacing has been round up and shot by cutting out any part that might lose the attention of a particularly bored gnat. |

Found it surprisingly enjoyable. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, I've seen them all and played a lot of the games, but I don't have a soft spot for it. But it was fun. Bit plodding in the middle, and some spotty performances, but generally good. Kylo Ren was a bit non-threatening, even after he did The Bad Thing, but I'm guessing he'll become harder/more effective in the later films. Snoke seems like a less interesting Palpatine, but again maybe there'll be more development in the next two films. The ginger commander man was suitably loathsome. I liked Finn a lot, and Poe was fun but I'm glad he didn't get more screen time as he was a tad smug. Rey was okay, but her delivery was a bit wank at times. Harrison Ford didn't phone it in as much as I expected, but Carrie Fisher was a bit pointless. Mark Hamill is looking quite well, looks to have lost some weight and the beard suits him. |
