Casual observers of this thread may observe that despite the geek levels being close to critical many of us are in fact Dads.....so in the same situation we can't be sure how we'd react. -

<p>I thought the same. SW7 is the best looking movie from the franchise yet</p> -
Yep, totally agree that it looks sensational. The prequels seemed too bright and computer-like. This looked much more "real".

<p>Real is the word. Not just the planet locations, the battles too. It was one of the things I disliked about Lucas' interventions in the first trilogy too. I have a directors cut type DVD box set and all of the extra bits he inserted, mostly into a new hope, were shithouse and added little or nothing to the films</p> -

<p>And the cartoon show spinoffs, along with their merchandise. Disney are squeezing every single bit of value out of their investment. At least the fans finally get to watch series and films that do the franchise justice at long last</p> -

Well they are 1/1 for most fans at the moment....with the cartoons they are hitting the next wave of fans as well as the original fans, bringing the new fans into the vast world of Star Wars and when they grow up... -

There's talk it might break $1B at the US box office alone, an obscene figure given Avatar is at $700+ m (dating back to 2009)
