Star Wars The Force Awakens!

I don't really understand why people would be even slightly excited for it. General consensus says the last 3 were terrible, so why would another one make people excited?

I guess Star wars is like the movie equivilant of the sonic franchise.

Probably because it has much of the old cast in it. They are not going to be around for all that many years longer, so this was kind of the final chance at doing it right.

I am sourly dissapointed at Star Wars: Rebels though. So much potential and they run with the same old story and the same old archetypes. I hope those kind of cancerous ideas stay in the cartoon. It is mostly for kids after all, and need to catch their attention with familiar stuff.
