Lens flares! Shaking lenses! Stupid fist fights! People too young to be in the positions of authority they are in. This is what JJA will do to Star Wars.

It's going to look more like Moonraker than Star Wars. I'll pass.

And that's before even seeing a teaser, which would at best still only barely imply what it might be like.

Couldn't be more excited for the next Star Wars. Anybody could do better than George Lucas after Episode I, II, and III.

Any place but here or there....
Glad they're doing this...

The trailer will probably be attached to the Hobbit theatrically, so I can wait to see it on the big screen then.

Luke is the reason why I am curious to see this film now - while I am still not crazy about seeing the OT characters older the more I thought about it I am okay with Luke now.

I couldn't care less about the new characters, but if Abrams makes me interested, great. And if not, that's fine too: I'll see this one and if Luke is not involved in subsequent films - it's not a deal breaker. I always go back to Star Wars in some way so all this new stuff won't destroy me.

I just consider all of these "reboots" alternate timelines.

Oh man I see we have ye 'ol Star Trek whiners on these forums too. The Tea Party of nerds.

Reality check grandpas, JJ Abram's Star Trek took a dead franchise (previous 2 films flopped a decade earlier and the last TV series was cancelled after its second season) and transformed it into a critical and commercial blockbuster. Trek '09 is the best reviewed film of the entire movie series (95% on RT) and the most successful up to that point. The sequel, while not as strong but still well regarded (87% RT), made close to half a billion dollars. Get over yourselves, and the irrelevant bubble you live in.

In reality Star Wars 7 has a good shot at greatness. Because Abrams is a great director. But hey, random posters at an internet forum know so much more about good directors than say, Steven Speilberg, who's a fan Abram's work.

This is why I rarely contribute to Internet forums. It's the bottom feeding ghetto of the internet.

I liked the first three star wars movies 4, 5, 6. I am a fan of the original Star Treks (TV shows and movies (actually star trek 1 wasn't my favorite))

I thought the Star Trek Reboot was pretty good. JJ Abrams did a good job. I am interested to see how Star Wars turns out.

My biggest fear is that it will look and feel just like the star treks. It needs to be its own movie.

EDIT: One thing I hate about the new star treks is that Kirk is a womanizer. The original Kirk wasn't a womanizer. He frequently had romantic interests, but wasn't a sleep with her and leave her type of guy like Chris Pine's Kirk.
