I expect it to be shit, just so I can be surprised if it isn't prequel-bad. This thing applies:
Also, from a "nerdy fanboy with no life" standpoint, I am still a little bit miffed, that the newest trailer indicates, that they don't even give a nod to the expanded universe.... although I should know better.

Nope. I'm concerned as well. All we know is the Empire is now the First Order.

Too many trailers just tell you everything that happens in the movie so I've been avoiding the trailers. I'd rather go in knowing next to nothing.

Calling it now: Kylo Ren, from that shot of him over Vader's broken mask and swearing to "finish what you started", is at least related to the events of the original trilogy. Where else would he get the mask?

Watch it turn out to be Starkiller.

I'm mainly concerned because the last two Trek films he worked on were both basically Wrath of Khan. Makes me worried we're going to get three Empire Strikes Back's.

That would be as terrible as the time I got three blowjobs.

A blowjob isn't fun when it lasts two hours and has a disappointing climax.

Pretty moderately excited for this, not really up for the fact that they brought back the old cast, but whatever. I've only actually seen all 6 movies once, so I might marathon the original trilogy next month (fuck the prequels)
My best friend who is a Star Wars fiend has this theory that somehow the movie will have to do something with the EU books and something about the fac that there can only be two Sith Lords at the same time. Even though I told her that they're not canon anymore, she said she didn't care¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Probably gonna buy a ticket for me and my little brother on the 18th, even though the movie comes out here on the 16th, I feel like this kind of event is more suitable for a Friday and not a Wednesday.

I was actually referring to Star Trek: Into Darkness. What I'm trying to say is that if JJ gave us Empire three times in a row, it wouldn't be as enjoyable as watching Empire three times in a row.

Yeah, I don't want a lame rehash. That's what Star Trek: Into Darkness was.

I've noticed a new Death Star in one of the posters. This troubles me.
Look, you can't top the Death Star as a super weapon, but building another Death Star is not upping the ante. I can accept the Death Star in Jedi because it was the end of a trilogy and Luke was coming full circle. There is no reason for there to be a Death Star in Force Awakens other than you throwing your arms up in the air and admitting you have no new ideas.

While the influence of the Death Star on that thing is undeniable, I think they've put a new spin on the concept. It looks like it's part of the planet, so I'm thinking the planet either opens up to reveal the superlaser, or the equator's a hologram. Now, that is pretty much just the Halo rings from Halo and while there's cause for concern I don't really mind another Death Star as long as they do something interesting with it (but we'll just have to see).
That said, I am a little disappointed. Considering the Thrawn trilogy proved you didn't need a Death Star to have an extremely intimidating threat I'd have thought they could've come up with something a bit more interesting.

I'd add that, with better writing, the Prequel trilogy would have gotten along just fine on the threat of a robotic army and Palpatine in the senate.

I'm guessing they will go with the idea from early drafts of the original trilogy that had the the Death Star as a "hidden fortress" throughout all three movies. I seem to recall reading that part of the reason there ended up being two Death Stars was because the first one was supposed to have survived ANH and been a lingering threat through the trilogy, but they moved up the destruction to make ANH more self-contained in what seemed like the very probable event that sequels would not be financially viable.

Eh, for every Thrawn book, I raise you Ewoks face the angry sad mountain and a green bunny man; it was variable quality fanfiction given publication rights.
And to continue to reference the EU: one of the more common things they did was try to one-up the Death Star; Sun-Crusher anyone? I personally think it's far better to scale it down first with no Death Star (maybe like a rogue star destroyer, but I guess that'd be too samey to Abrams) but eh; they wanna resell toys and keep it safe so nerds and normal people go "Oh, I know what that is".
I've made a comment that probably going to get me hated on the red letter media page but you know what the more I look at the newest star wars the more I kind of realise that this whole thing is really banking on the original trilogy.
Say what you want about the prequils but really for all of their faults at this they failed on their own merits.
It looks like nothing has changed in the 30 odd years this film is set in.

Well to rip off RLM more: "People don't like things that are different; they want the same shit that they got last week."
