I expect episode VII to smash all box office records. It will destroy the previous Xmas open. Probably be biggest weekend open ever. And highest grossing of all time when the numbers are tallied. Might be the fastest to all time gross.
Got a tip for us?

There's no chance of it being a box office failure, but I'm continuing to reserve my judgement on whether it will turn out to be a creative failure...
I'm a big Star Wars fan, but JJ Abrams couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag, so I'm keeping my expectations extra low.
Nonetheless, I have already secured my hot little IMAX ticket for the opening IMAX screening on December 17th.
I finally saw it twice on my phone. Will probably study more of it on my TV later.
Why the sad face, Leia? JJ said he wasn't going to use EU material but it looks that way anyway. Grandpa-loving Vader fanboy, Kylo Ren, is the son of Han and Leia and that's why the sad face with Leia. Or Leia is sad because her twin bro, Luke, is gone missing...
I am not too worried of spoilers as long as the presentation is excellent for it. We already knew the main material from Episode III and I still enjoyed it. My anticipation hasn't changed much since they didn't spill any major story points. But it looks very promising and George Lucas-free from any future tinkering.
Yes, but two things. GTA is generally always good. AC is not. But the AC reference is referring to the original poster's avatar.
You don't like Rey, based on glimpses of a character in the trailers or something else?
When a trailer like this makes me emotional...where is my hanky?
While I agree with the first part, highest grossing of all time depends on the meat of the story, but it's very possible. Besides the original legions of fans, you've got the following generations all ready invested. This has the potential to make Abrams the mega Director.
Entertainment success better, plus creative success best. The scenes from that trailer seem to reveal the force is strong with that one, where examples of the power of clean and incredible Star Wars-fabulous CGI are revealed.
The prequels are a dry archive that fill in the blanks but can't mar the living history of the series.
Yes, a possibility although James Cameron has a habit of creating mega-hits. Avatar 2 is due out Christmas 2016.

Can't wait! Looking forward to what JJ has done with it as I like what he did to Star Trek. Kylo Ren looks suitably badass, but is he the primary badass as we haven't seen anything of Max Von Sydow in the trailers.....
I just find it ironic you don't understand the Hype train if you are an AC fan.
I believe Gone With The Wind's record as all-time highest adjusted domestic gross will remain secure in the face of the SWVII onslaught.
Why the sad face, Leia?
Thats my face after I realized there is still two more months until it opens.
The assumption that my avatar translates to anything more than me being a fan of one particular game in the series would be inaccurate. As my original post states, I'm looking forward to Episode VII. The hype around it though is...interesting.
Finished watching the trailer at least 6x on my TV and read The Verge analysis. I don't care if JJ Abrams took cues from EU and made Jacen into Kylo Ren and Rey into Jaina. Whatever the characters and story will turn out is ok by me. Just wait the next couple months on who is related to who. It is all good as long as nomore of this...
Luke was probably thinking to himself, "Hey, Tupac. Forget about you for a minute being here in Endor. Why does my father look 21-years old and younger than me right now?"

This is why I have such high hopes for the Abrams versions. No Lucas screwing up the movie.
UPDATE: Hoping the rumor mills are 100% false about her, but so far all the footage is proving to be correct in matters Rey. And every single photo is Captain Emo... really? Do we need another one of those?
Won't go into anything else here, but if it turns out I like her, great. If not, no big loss, as I said based upon this and other info, Rogue One will probably be more my lightspeed.

Yes, and a script was written and rejected. After that it was Abrahms and Kasdan that went off in their own direction with a completely new canon.
Tickets secured for first showing at 1 minute after midnight. Now do I dress up like others will or just go in a favourite Star Wars T-shirt.
Agreed, but the whole thing with Star Wars is you want to see it opening night/day.
