I can relate to this. I remember watching Jar Jar Binks for the first time and wanting the ground to open up and swallow me. I ended up watching it through the fingers of my palm, placed over my face at the horror and the embarrassment of it all. I was thinking to myself - how the hell can I explain to my friends how I managed to drag them along to see this?
Well, at least someone gets what I meant.

Yes it does. Why? Because I wasn't sad enough to tell a girl I had been waiting 14yrs to see a frigging sic fi film. ie. Im vaguely normal. Its just a film, its there to waste 2-3hrs of your life and then largely forget about it an hr after its finished and you are back home, other than to randomly ponder it every now and then.

Good grief.
To you its just a film, to a lot of people it grabbed their attention like nothing else. How else do you explain the films popularity over 20 years later and things like the 501st legion http://www.501st.com/mission.php

I have during my commute just watched A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and will be cracking on with Return of the Jedi tomorrow. I have a friend that was a massive fan of the films and was an extra in I, II & III one of only a handful to do so.

Please tell me I'm not the only 40 year old bloke who's just gone a bit funny whilst watching that?weeping

Early days I know, but it really does look like they're doing it properly doesn't it?

Some of the fan trailers looked more promising.

Will see

It looks utterly rubbish. Apart from the Falcon.

Nope, 37 and 3/4's and I nearly let out an involuntary yelp at my office desk.

I liked it, but it looked a bit more cgi than I expected, especially the falcon bit.

VoiceOver sounded like Benedict Cumberbatch?

Only 54 weeks to go....
