Looks alright.
Lets hope the aliens have Norton 2016 installed.

I'd say Kaspersky or BitDefender more likely.

I'm surprised it got off the ground finally too. I'm glad to see things like this more than reboots honestly. It's ridiculous having franchises being rebooted so frequently.

I honestly enjoyed that trailer more than any for the Force Awakens lol.

Yeah - the first one was a great popcorn flick. Another one I'd like them to finish off is the National Treasure movies... they still need to do a third (at least) to wrap it up.

Not sure if I agree with that.

A fan went and restored Star Wars properly. Really, Really impressive. He shouldn't have had to do it though. Splicing together a film from multiple sources is what you do for something from the Silent era, not a 70s blockbuster. Cheers George!

inb4 new Star Wars is terrible.

But I hope not. (but could you imagine?)

Prequels all over again... it'd suck for sure. I'm not going to any midnight sessions and I haven't booked tickets yet either. I'm gonna have to avoid "everything" to avoid spoilers... gonna be hard.

At least there'll be a Star Wars movie each year (from now until whenever)... so they'll have to get it right at least once.

Even with how jaded about Star Wars I am I'm still reeallly looking forward to the soundtrack haha.

Well - as I think I said before, there's a better chance it'll be brilliant. If there was a food chain for musicians, JW would sit right up on top of it.

I wonder if this this time they will avoid spoilers in the track listing too. Episode 1 had Qui-Gons death and funeral lol.

That's bloody unreal, full credit to them .  Agree that it's a right shame that they had to do it.  Love how they kick the article off with the statements Lucas made earlier about not altering early works .

Good luck everyone for the next couple of days - I fear it may be slightly over-hyped (by the fans, it seems relatively 'reasonably' hyped for a movie of its size), but I do hope it's a lot of fun.  I thought Abrams did a great job of the last two Star Trek flicks, and that his style is probably better suited for Star Wars than Star Trek .

Some of the early reports (from the premiere) are it's the best Star Wars since 83. Some say that it's the second best (after Empire), some say it's the third best.

I wouldn't go off the early reviews though.

The main thing for me is that it's not as terrible as the prequels. I can't even watch them.

That's a big call, although I agree, best not to get too excited too early.  That said, it's got to be a good sign, fingers crossed it's far, far better than the prequels.  If it's the second best after Empire (my favourite as well), then we'll all be pigs in mud .

[Saintsy]

Its not overly difficult to be better than the prequels though, gotta keep that in mind when people say that haha.

But even the asshole critics are saying it's not terrible so that counts for a little bit lol.

[spectre51]

I feel I'm off on the other side of the room here, I enjoyed the Prequels.

I'll just be over here on my lonesome. :|

[GasClown]

Not a bad start...

There's not what I'd call a Duel of the Fates in there... however it was a quick listen (skim through) - nothing grabbed me quite like that, let's say. There's definitely some great moments from what I'd heard - but that's my first initial (but quite brief) impression.
