Having JJ Abrahms at the helm (after seeing what he can do with Star Trek) .. I'm quite excited. We know the opening week Box Office returns will be setting new records!

So I'm apprehensive, to say the least, about this upcoming movie...but I'm hopeful too (probably cause I'm a polyanna sucker).

Originally Posted By phruby >>The princess and the scoundrel get married? <spoilers> That's been part of every EU book written since 1995. They even have three kids. The twins Jaina and Jacen Solo and Anakin Solo. Jaina becomes a Jedi and Jacen gets turned to the dark side and becomes Darth Caedus. Darth Caedus kills his little brother Anakin Solo and Luke's wife Mara Jade Skywalker before Jaina finally puts an end to him. Luke marries Mara Jade who was the Emporer's personal assassin. They have a kid named Ben Skywalker. Oh and a moon falls on Chewbacca!

Second was.....just SO bad. Talk about standing on the shoulders of giants! After all the trouble they went to to reset the ST universe(including destroying Vulcan - what the ****?!?!?), with a great big new universe to explore, they bring in some pasty faced emo English guy to be..........Khan?!?!?! Terrible, bad and awful. It is also widely known Abrams used his first ST film to be the demo reel as a bid to direct the next Star Wars film. Besides all this, however, I too am actually looking forward to 18/12/15 and will be there at the first session. Hell, if I could live through the prequels, what else could be worse, right?
Originally Posted By Mr X ***Hell, if I could live through the prequels, what else could be worse, right?*** That's kinda my take on it, too.
Originally Posted By dagobert I'm a big Star Trek fan and I liked Abrams' Trek movies. After the PT, it can only get better and I'm confident, that Abrams will deliver a good and entertaining movie. The returning of Ford and Hamill is reason enough to watch Ep7.

Originally Posted By Yookeroo '"Most couples get married" is the latest adage' Who did you learn this from? Kind of a weird conclusion to draw from what anyone here has written.
