Raging hormones + The Force = parent's worst nightmare lol.

New trailer is up!

Ok, this did it. I'm finally excited about the new Star Wars. The amount of practical effects they're using is encouraging.

Saw the panel at Comic-Con, I'm more excited than ever. Love the casting of the villains.

I'm getting a vague sense that @NightAngel79 likes Star Wars.

That's the back of the X-Wing they have fake lasers coming out of. Should be exhaust. Where was that posted?

Plus it looks like the good guys are shooting at the other good guys.

Spot on folks
This was in a trash national newspaper we have here in the UK called The Daily Star. I hasten to add I don't read this, just saw the picture.

So, where's Luke? I guess there are various conspiracy theories flying around about why he's missing from the trailers.

Just looked at the BBC report on the premiere. The actors don't seem to be in to the hype. Harrison Ford looks really jaded. Well he is getting on a bit now, and the promotion schedule must be quite hectic.

Harrison Ford has never really loved Star Wars. He wanted Han Solo killed off in the original trilogy, and I understand he was the hardest one to convince to return. He loves the Indiana Jones franchise much more(he even stayed in shape for 20 years between Last Crusade and Crystal Skull in hopes of doing another one.

I love this paragraph from the WIRED review;

"There are winking references to Kessel Run parsecs and trash compactors; one character makes their home in a downed AT-AT. C-3P0 is still expositional comic relief. Jumps to hyperspace still pack a visceral impact, and whenever something doesn’t quite seem to make sense, TIE fighters blow it up, so whatever."

This is a must see.

Wow this film has got some rave reviews.
Interestingly this article applauds the de-emphasis on CGI effects, which I do agree with. In some ways, the prequels were just too polished, and chock full of special effects, almost to the point of distraction. And it must be quite difficult for actors to play against blue screen backgrounds constantly.
