I predict that nearly everyone will be more or less disappointed. It won't be as bad as Ep 1-3, but you'll probably leave the theatre feeling let down.
Many will mask their disappointment by defending the film, but the vast majority will have to agree that it just wasn't that good.
Just my prediction!
- or it'll be great? its possible ya know.CygnusZero4
- Of course it's possible. But, from what I've seen I don't think so.nb

- I'll be happy if they just right the ship. Don't need it to be the next Empire, just right the ship._niko
- i'm trying to keep my standards low and have been avoiding trailers :/scarabin
- given the high water mark left by the trailers, i think they would need be doing some serious fail to make it not workautoflavour
- Part of the problem is that the trailer allows your mind to fill in the blanks with perfection, and you're left with an expectation that is impossible to meet.nb
- @nb - finds negatives in a 99% positive experience so far - as someone else said - the prequel atricity trailers always were shit - these are not and made by afadein11
- huge fan... there is little to dislike apart from the girls wooden acting... hopefully that wil not derail the films.fadein11
- looking more forward to scarabin's finished lightsaber than I am the actual filmPonyBoy
- I'm really not - because building lightsabers is really sad.fadein11
- It's just, like, my opinion, man.nb
- They're definitely going to be waaaaay better than Ep 1-3. But, that says more about the quality of the old ones than it does about these news ones.nb
- i think most disappointment will come from too high of expectations. after all, it's a movie, not the 2nd coming of Christ.SteveJobs
- ^ yup. it's star wars, and looks fun - at least try to enjoy it. Only to be a kid again huh.inteliboy
- If it was about as good as Star Trek Into Darkness (JJ Abrams most recent film), would people be happy or disappoint?qoob
- That film was average at best. JJ admits to that though.inteliboy
- First Star Trek was great though. And he is a bigger SW fan. But thanks for clearing up its only a film - I didn't realise.fadein11

That guy who was very sick that social media got behind to help him see Force Awaken early, and got to see an unedited version of it last Thursday, died today.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/10/en…
Its interesting bc this is the 2nd time JJ has let a sick fan see one of his movies early, and passed away just a few days later. He let someone see Star Trek Into Darkness early, and they loterally had to sign about 60 documents. Crazy.
- Disease doesn't kill people. Prematurely seeing JJ Abrams movies kills peoplelocustsloth
- Had Dr. Kevorkian lived, he would have skipped the chemicals and opened a movie theaterlocustsloth
- It's not his movies. It's the lawyers to protect the movie. The pen you sign with is laced with a 48 hour slow dose poison.ETM

I'm doing Christmas shopping for my 6 year old and looking at all the new Star Wars toys... and they suck!
Almost 40 years ago the toys were battery operated with sounds, lights and moving parts. The Tie Fighters had sounds and LED lights for the blasters. The Y wings had sounds and rotating canopy turrets. The AT-AT had light up and pulsing cannons. The Sand Crawler was remote controlled.
Now they only have... spring loaded missiles... for things that don't even have missiles.
- capitalism + inflationimbecile
- loved my 70s/80s SW toys.fadein11
- Basic electronics are cheaper and more accessible than ever. An LED or two would add, I'll wager, less than $0.25 to the product.ETM
- I guess the Millennium Falcon has some cool electronics, but I would hope so at about $150.ETM
- And you could actually have sex with the Princess Leia toys right ETM!kona
- Or the Millennium Falcom. Whichever floated your boat. Also, in my day I had to walk uphill to school! And I had to wear tube socks!kona
- those toy commercials are amazing. what was super interesting was the lack of official branding or even music from the movies..autoflavour

George Lucas Explains Why He Doesn’t Want to Direct ‘Star Wars’ Movies Anymore
When George Lucas had completed the initial Star Wars trilogy, he maintained that the franchise actually consisted of three trilogies in total: another that tells the story of what happened before Episode IV and a final series that continued the Luke/Leia story after Episode VI. He was able to realize the first continuation a couple of decades after Return of the Jedi, but then maybe not so surprisingly retreated from the world of directing for a bit. Indeed, the response to the prequels was not kind, and so Lucas focused his efforts on producing films like Red Tails and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
- as if anyone asked him tomonospaced
- crystal skull was garbagescarabin
- His worst by far was Howard the DuckBluejam
- THX 1138 is a masterpiece. Thats what he should do.Ben99
- Its like he said, everyone has an expectation of what his movies should be... when he made those classics there was no expectation and he created historic filmssofakingback
- As designers I think we can relate to this, you can't create something amazing and revolutionary when a fucking suit is giving you the direction.sofakingback
- THX 1138 was underwhelming as well. Wouldn't make my top 20 sci-fi movies.fadein11
- He only directed A New Hope in the first trilogy...zarkonite

STAR WARS: The Force Awakens - Original Trilogy Comparison Trailer (well worth a watch despite Facebook)
https://www.facebook.com/CouchWa…- A comparison of what though? They just edited together original trilogy scenes to match TFA scenes.ETM
- I think its a fan showing how JJ has tried to achieve the feel of the original trilogy and obviously succeeded :)fadein11
- Perhaps. I mean, I hope so, but capturing the "feel" is more than just a look. But it's a start.ETM
- Its not just the look - watch the video and you will understand.fadein11
- I did... thanks. No way to judge until you can see the film. Cherry-picked snippets are not enough for me.ETM

- Or, Aye Mon Then, at 0:13ETM
- "Hell no!" ugh.... I'm worried now.inteliboy
- It wasn't one of these. It was a normal comment of fear... as was on his face.
https://www.youtube.…ETM - references to 'hell' are in the original trilogy so nothing to fear, move along now...Bluejam

- Star Wars has always had OTT merchandise tie-ins, that's how Lucas made his fortune, his original contract was a business masterstroke... tinyfadein11
- direction fee and small percentage of profits from movie sales but an enormous percentage of merchandise - he aint no fool.fadein11
