It looks good. Gritty and less polished than the most recent ones. No cartoon characters which is a good thing.

I'll never forget the 60 mile trip to see Star Wars in 70mm with Dolby sound at Beaverton's luxurious Westgate Theater, in the summer of '77. My older sister and her boyfriend took me and my brother to see the show at the closest place that was equipped and authorized to show it. Star Wars was NOT allowed to be shown in average, run-of-the-mill theaters with projection or sound that was not deemed adequate. As I found out later, most theaters in this state were running 1940's to 1950's-era carbon-arc 35mm projectors on reel-to-reel systems, with human projectionists doing manual change-overs on each reel, and continually needing to monitor the arc's flame and adjustment, framing, and focus. I know, since I was later a projectionist for Moyer Theaters, the state's largest, almost total monopoly owners of 95% of the state's screens. Dolby sound was available at only a small percentage of screens in '77, so Star Wars was not shown on the huge preponderance of average, crummy projection and sound systems that dominated the theater landscape back then. In 70mm with the then-new Dolby sound, it was awesome, truly awesome!

In '83, THX sound was developed in order to make sure that the soundtrack of the third film, Return of The Jedi, would be totally awesome in the best, high-end theater auditoriums.

A good part of the majesty and awe of the Star Wars films has always, always been the AMAZING sound, sound track, and sound effects. I bet this film totally kicks ass in terms of sound, in all aspects.

I am more excited about Avengers 2 and Max Max. I liked the first 3 but not so much that I bought toys or dressed up.

I've been trying not to get too excited about the movies because the last three were just so disappointing. Since I heard JJ Abrams was directing (and I loved how he handled the new Star Trek movies), I've been cautiously optimistic. Then I heard the original cast was being brought into the film, and I started getting excited but trying not to get too excited.

But yeah, now there's no going back. I am excited. Full stop.

I won't go to see it opening night or anything because, y'know, people. Too many. Yuk. I'll probably go later and during a week-day matinee when kids are back in school. But hellz yeah, I need to see it in a theater. No IMAX, though. They make me dizzy and nauseated.

I dont' remember in as much detail as Derrel, but I still have some vivid memories of seeing the first Star Wars when it came out in '77. It was SO exciting! There was such a buzz about it, and then I finally got to see it with my older sister and brother (I was only 6) and I just fell in love.

I'll be seeing it in 3D at the best IMAX I know, no doubt.

I'm very optimistic because of JJ Abrams directing as well. I've always enjoyed the stories and the Star Wars Universe but really always cringed at Lucas' directing, especially in the last three movies.

I still remember seeing it when the first one came out also. I was in the Navy at the time and a bunch of us rolled off the ship and into Norfolk to see it at a theater. We had a great time.
