This latest installment in the popular science fiction franchise is being directed by JJ Abrams and mixes vets such as Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher with new faces like Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson and Lupita Nyong'o.

I wonder how more sucky films the franchise can withstand. If JJ Abrams lays an egg after the horrid prequels will that be the end?

Carrie Fisher is being cast as Jabba the Hutt (or one of his descendents).

In true British sensationalism, “It’s here!” means, of course, that it’s not here and won’t be here until Friday.

I don’t think Disney spent a boatload on acquiring Lucasfilm to turn out junk - they’ve done a real good job getting the Marvel brand rolling, why would anyone think they’ll do less with a more well-established Star Wars brand?

Taking Star Wars out of Lucas’ direct control is probably the best thing that could possibly have happened to the franchise at this point.

I imagine that Carrie Fischer will NOT be appearing in a slave girl costume this time.

They got a trailer for Star Wars? Is it as fast as The Millenium Falcon?

Princess Leia left Han for Lando, who now insists on being called Leslie.

Carrie Fisher was so hot in that movie. Star Wars? Not so much.

That won’t be the end. For one thing nobody seems to mind bad sequels in any franchise, for another the next 3 movies are in various states of production already, at least 1 is too far along to just punt.

I will make sure to avoid this rehashing... I sure as heck will not be buying any DVD or going to the movie theater

If its on cable and see it while channel surfing I’ll see if I can watch five minutes

This is garbooge for children and teens. If they want to get sucked in I guess it will happen. This silly money grubbing stuff is not for adults
