<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>Raking in the money bigtime, is due to clear US $550m Domestically by the end of this weekend. Already at US $881m World wide after only 7 days of release.</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) -

<p>I wonder if it has the legs to do that? Avatar hung around for a long time (in part due to the 3D 'gimmick') to rack up its numbers. Although, I do know a bunch of people who have seen it twice and the odd person going back for a third time.</p>

<p> I have never seen Avatar, I keep waiting for it to return to a cinema in a brief run so I can go see it.</p>
