    I see. As long as I'm entertained, then I'll be OK. I still enjoy the prequels, so I'm not too worried about Episode 7 being disappointing. However, I still have to get my expectations in check every few days. :eek:

    then throw my friends aspects that don't like STAR WARS into it. Some have already said it's probably going to blow like the last three.... (in their opinions)

    I keep saying "it's gonna be good"

    Yeah, most of my friends are being overly cynical about it. I keep trying to reassure them, but they seem hell bent on hating it. :(

    Same here, I was the optimistic one some weekends ago I went to have dinner with three friends and they were sort of pessimistic about the new movie. It is funny since I'm basically a new fan, but my fandom has grown exponentially compared to theirs - I mean, they're just into the OT and that's it, they're not as super-detailed on them as I've become - and they were pessimistic that Disney was going to make a mess out of it. Another judged that due to all the hype, a lot of new fans like me would appear - nevermind her, she's sort-of hipster lol. But yeah, I am nervous and feel like crying when I see the posters.

    There are a TON of things that make me nervous... buuuut, there are a lot of things I'm excited about.

    Nervous:

    * I too am nervous about Snoke... most blockbuster villains these days are sooo cheesy, with exception to Immortan Joe. If Snoke is cool like Joe then we are all good, but if it's like Ultron I will instantly regret buying tickets to see TFA 4 times (lol).

    * Kasdan's recent track record concerns me... look up his last few films. However, I'm willing to grant that what makes him so good for Star Wars might not be the same thing as for other genres... but still, very nervous.

    * The absence of people who helped make the OT great (Gary Kurtz, & the guy who designed Slave 1/ built a lot of the amazing ship models). I realize the film will be full of CGI but I would love to see some awesome ship models in the film. I'm hoping models were at least used as references (in the same way that fx light sabers were used on set) if they don't make it into the film.

    * Also ship designs... totally crucial to a good Star Wars films. I dig the troop transports & the new X wings. I'm not a big fan of the FO speeder designs, assuming those are even in the film)

    * No McQuarrie... His concepts were the basis for some of the most memorable shots from the OT. Not that I have anything against Doug Chiang who is very talented... but IMO McQuarrie was like the Beethoven of Sci Fi concept art.

    * Disney marketing... I too am concerned about it. I'm probably in the minority here but I feel like they are scripting the actor's for interviews. It really bothers me that they keep the actors from expressing their true feelings. I don't want them to be forced into saying "I'm a Star Wars fan" just to appease us fans.

    * Williams... I LOVED the music for the first 2 teasers... so I'm optimistic. I'm just worried about the new music... will it be as good as the OT music?

    * I'm not ok with the film merely being better than the PT... if it's "good" I'll be disappointed most likely. If it's amazing I'll breathe a sigh of relief, much like Ackbar when the SSD went down.

    * Last but not least... I worry we've seen too much. I remember reading that scanlan had done 120 creatures for TFA, so I thought we'd only seen 25% of the creatures so far. When I saw that pic yesterday of him posing with the props... I recknognized 90% of them. Will we not have any surprises then?

    Excited:

    * JJ abrams... his films look very organic & I love what I've seen in the trailers... lots of great shots.

    * The old cast is back. I'm not concerned about the acting... JJ abrams *is* most definitely an actor's director.

    * Meh, there's just too many things to list... I'm very excited... just being cautiously optimistic!

    For sure... what I'm talking about though is in the invention of new worlds. Like the cloud city concept.

    I noticed the archway in the Jakku market place & perhaps other structures are McQuarrie based, but asides from anything that hasn't been used in other films, I don't think we'll be seeing new McQuarrie worlds... you know what I mean?

    I'm not sure if we'll be getting something as breathtaking as the cloud city in the ST.

    Though... I did notice that the Coruscant & Alderaan concepts weren't used/ looked very different from his work... perhaps those will find their way into the ST.

    I was nervous three years ago but the closer we get the more confident I feel. I have little doubt this movie will be incredible.

    Personally, I'm ridiculously calm and confident about TFA. Realistically speaking, it CANNOT be as good as I expect it to be! So in other words, if TFA turns out to be crap, I'm gonna crash and burn SO bad... But it won't so there is no worry ;)
