So…are you going to give Episode VII a chance then?
That trailer did look pretty sweet. You know it to be true.

Then you could have taken a look at what the actual situation was. You're dealing with a crybaby who reports anyone who dares give him a taste of his own medicine.
Now can we please get back to Star Wars.

I’m definitely onboard that hype train, though.
Michael Arndt (replaced by original writer Larry Kasdan) and Rian Johnson- with those superfans attached, I’m sure the sequels are in solid hands.
The only points of concern:
-will Harrison Ford pull off a tired/grumpy performance?
-will we find the story genuinely satisfying?
-will the CGI scenes be soulless and boring?
-will the filmmakers throw in some unnecessary, PC BS? (e.g. Luke having a black son; Kylo Ren being secretly gay; Leia having a sex change…and calling herself Poe Dameron)

Kenny wrote:And superfans doing their dream project is a vomit fest. Kasdan is great not only because he wrote the last two OT sequels, but because he's largely a non-fan. He's a guy who respects the source material and is able to figure out ways to make it grow in the most non-biased way possible. He's not constantly trying to put in old things from the previous flicks only to jerk off to it--he's always trying to find NEW things that are appropriate to the series (at least that's to my understanding based on the work he did).
Those are the people who are needed in a mega-franchise like this one. Which is why I'm glad Joss Whedon is off the Avengers, his fanboyish shit got in the way of the bigger picture. Kevin Feige needs to take it easy too.

It also reboots 30+ years of post-Endor continuation (100 by including the Legacy comics). It doesn't reboot EVERYTHING, but it reboots the timeline back to the year 4 ABY.

For the first movie, it seems a pretty damn good idea after the prequels to instill that yes, this is Star Wars, and to recover any fan faith back in the films. Star Wars fans had to deal with a shitty romance story, remastered versionsthat ruined the films, Jar Jar Binks, and a prequel trilogy that didn't understand how or why Star Wars was popular in the first place, but somehow nostalgia is a bad thing? At this point nostalgia is needed to revive Star Wars.
