Everyone is talking about the new Star Wars trailer. As I watched it for the fifth time this morning, I thought to myself that it must be pretty cool to be J.J. Abrams. This production when it comes out will make him the heir apparent for the franchise. I think I forgot how exciting it is to see the Millennium Falcon swoop through obstacle courses, and seeing it dive into the bowels of what I think is the remains of a super star destroyer is nothing less than thrilling. Luke's fleshless hand, not as thrilling, but maybe in keeping with the whole "there must be evil here" theme it's a good choice because cybernetics when not hidden by flesh always look more sinister.
I was watching Disney stock yesterday at about the time the Force Awakens trailer broke and it jumped about $2.00 per share, so obviously a ton of people out there who are now investors are also huge Star Wars fans. I think that this movie is going to be "Avengers" huge. There's just buzz about it that you don't normally see. I'd even describe it as electrifying. I just hope that it lives up to those feelings of hype.
Anyway, if you haven't seen it, I strongly suggest that you look it up online.

People were buzzed about Phantom Menace and look how that turned out. I hope everything else is going well.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check it out. Yes, I haven't seen it yet. I know, surprising.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the trailer. My only complaint is the zoom shot near the end. Those tend to disorient me. :)
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised that Disney's stock went up.
ReplyDeleteBye the way, I think it is cute that whenever some one uses the Hashtag for Star Wars a tiny little symbol of C3PO comes up.
first thing I noticed, Chewbacca aged gracefully
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it, but I'm going to check it out now.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm old enough to remember when the first Star Wars movie came out. As I recall, the stock for 20th Century Fox doubled overnight.
ReplyDeleteYes, excitement isn't event he right word. So many of us do long for that nostalgia. I lost count of how many of my friends actually got teary-eyed seeing Han and Chewie at the end.
