So good.

Cant wait.

1. And of course Luke is the new Darth.

He never completed his training and has slipped into the dark side.
It is so transparent.

When will we see Jar-Jar again?

Star Wars is a vacuous enterprise built on toy product placement.
And inane John Williams music scores, one is the same as every other.

4. JJ Abrams considers killing off Jar Jar Binks

“I have a thought about putting Jar Jar Binks’s bones in the desert there,” said Abrams, adding: “I’m serious! Only three people will notice, but they’ll love it.”

7. It was a rather lame intent at humor

Of course, I have no such knowledge. I probably will not even see the film, especially since it is JJ Abrams, who put the engineering department of the USS Enterprise into a brewery.

Best regards.

9. I think that's pretty hilarious.

"Insulting Star Wars" as grounds for an alert.

That said, it is, indeed, one of the most ridiculous alerts ever.

11. There was absolutely nothing special about this preview.

talk about excess hype-for-nothing...

2. The Force

When President Ronald Reagan claimed in 1986 that ‘the Force is with us’ he was actually perverting Star Wars’ self-dispos­sessing (or other-focused) ethos.[8] Obi Wan's blessing ‘May the Force be with you’ is the expression of a hope for others, not a possessive assertion for ourselves. Reagan’s rhetoric here, like the way of the Sith, is out of kilter with the moral demands of the Force. It is an expression of the ‘dark side of the Force’ that is, Lucas explains, ‘like a huge cancer, alive, festering’ as a ‘symptom and symbol of a very sick society.’

Star Wars, then, identifies evil with disordered desire, with the seeking of that which cannot and should not be desired, while the demands of ‘the Good’ are those that reorder our desire. Nonetheless, knowing and doing ‘the Good’ are not easy tasks

Star Wars saga does raise significant ethical questions – what are we to do with evil, and how do we identify it? Because it is the lack of consciousness that's behind every corporate crime, government conspiracy, political corruption, Big Pharma scheme and environmental crime that takes place on our planet. Those who lack consciousness engage in "you versus me" crimes of selfishness -- stealing, exploiting, destroying, deceiving -- yet such behaviors come from a place of ignorance about consciousness and the universe around us.

Suppose a selfish, low-consciousness corporate CEO says, "I'm going to dump this toxic waste into the river because that saves ME money, and it makes ME more profits." So he dumps the waste into the river.

Downstream, a billion living creatures start to become damaged by the toxic waste: The fish, frogs, turtles, trees, plants and perhaps even cities full of people who use the river as their water supply. This, in turn, creates "a disturbance in the Force," as Obiwan described it in Star Wars. The disturbance spreads sickness, disease and dysfunction. That dysfunction inevitably makes its way back to that same corporate CEO -- perhaps the mutated offspring of some woman who drank the polluted water grows up and becomes a violent criminal who car-jacks the CEOs granddaughter and murders her in the process. While the CEO will decry "how terribly violent our world has become," he will disavow the truth that he poisoned the world and made it more destructive.

I hope the new movie raises consciousness and look forward to it and it helps get rid of the psychopaths ruling us.

8. well said

3. Gonna see it in IMAX.

[OriginalGeek]

12. I'd like to see it in IMAX but

I can't do 3D. The glasses just don't work for me and I get a massive headache when I try. My wife has no depth perception and can't even see it and my daughter gets headaches too.

I imagine I will have to settle for the biggest plain ol' flat screen I can find - or the one at the theater with the draft beer and huge nachos.

I don't know much about J.J.Abrams, but it appears to be good. By the time it opens I'll have the lines of this trailer down. Well not exactly a Light Saber.

BTW, here's a figure to chew on: 33,783,745 views on Youtube.
