Disney stock jumped two dollars when the new Star Wars trailer got released yesterday.

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.

  1. People were buzzed about Phantom Menace and look how that turned out. I hope everything else is going well.

  3. Enjoyed the trailer. My only complaint is the zoom shot near the end. Those tend to disorient me. :)

  4. I am not surprised that Disney's stock went up.

    Bye 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.

  7. I'm old enough to remember when the first Star Wars movie came out. As I recall, the stock for 20th Century Fox doubled overnight.

  8. Yes, 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.
