Love seeing Mark Hamill always full of enthusiasm for stuff and a proper geek himself.

I think it's fair to say that, for Mark Hamill at least, once you start down the path of Star Wars, forever will it dominate your destiny. smile

Well, that's not inconsistent with the Expanded Universe. In that, Luke founded a new Jedi Academy and adopted a teacher / mentor role.

Wow, he really does come across well in that. Like everyone else on here I'm 50% excited and 50% scared about episode 7. Fingers crossed...

The scars of Episode 1 run deep, I refuse to get excited about this until I've seen it myself this time. I don't even trust the critics who all seemed to get swept up in the hysteria and and gave TPM glowing reviews.

The wounds do run deep, but I'm willing to forgive and forget if episode 7 is good. Except for Jar Jar Binks. I'll never forgive them for that.

No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued

Not like it hasn't been done before - there was an 'american diner' scene in episode 2.

I don't know how old you are, but watch the 2nd set of movies through the eyes of a 6-year old and I can guarantee you'll love them. These are essentially kids movies but became so iconic for my generation we feel that we now own them and the movies should grow up a bit.

I'm 40 and find Jar-Jar annoying. My son is 6 and finds Jar-Jar incredibly funny. Young Anakin is his idol and his 2 favourite Jedi are Yoda and Mace Windu. No doubt though in 30 years time, he'll be posting in the hologram section of "FusionHeads" a thread about why "Star Wars 18" is "just a bit crap" and the latest bad-guy is nowhere near as good as Hayden Christensen.

Rewind back to 1980 - I was 7 and loved Empire Strikes Back. My Dad thought it was st.....
