Honestly, I’m not a Star Wars fan. My siblings are, though, so I’ve seen the movies multiple times, heard sections of the Shakespeare versions (“Luke, prepare thyself for company!”), listened to my siblings talk about all of the spin-off books, and have heard theory after theory about the Star Wars universe. All while yawning and trying to get back to whatever else I was doing before.
But the trailer for Force Awakens came out last night and my sister and I watched it and… well, I’m kind of excited. It’s directed by the wonderful J.J. Abrams (who directed the amazing Star Trek reboots), and even has some of my favorite actors in it (DOMHNALL GLEESON, BABY).
I think the main reason I’m excited, though, is because it just looks better than the originals. Now, I know I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this, but… I just didn’t like the story of the original six. Episodes IV, V, and VI were better, as far as the story, and Episodes I, II, and III had better cinematography (and special effects). But I never really got into it, probably because it was forced on me (pun intended *wink*) by my mega-fan siblings. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll like the newer one more. We’ll see.
If you haven’t seen the trailer, here it is. (It’s already at eight million views. Golly. Pete.)
