Yeah, I'm the same, I think this will be nothing short of amazing!

Gotta admit i welled up a little when i watched it a second time.

Regarding Boba Fett. The comic that came out for Return of the Jedi lasted for years and a story in that featured the return of our fave bounty hunter.

My only issue is possibly with films released after The Force Awakens. For me and i'm sure countless others we get the tingles from seeing our old favourites once more. If they aren't in future films or have reduced roles then it'll all turn a bit meh in my opinion.

Although i enjoyed the prequel films i never got the old buzz until 3/4 of the way through the last film and the imminent arrival of Vader.

There was a magic from those first films, a time and place, that will be very tough to re-imagine.

The First Order? Doesn't sound nearly as menacing as The Empire i'm afraid.

I was the same, I still watch them every now and then, but as a kid in the 80's, the excitement of watching the original trilogy every Xmas or on VHS wasn't even remotely felt with the prequels, hopefully my kids will feel the same way about this new trilogy as I did back then.

Incidently, my eldest claims his favourite of the franchise is Episode II, but I suspect he only says that to wind me up!

I'm going to pick my boys up from school in an hour, can't wait to see their faces when they watch the trailer for the first time, Dylan especially is gonna be so excited!

I'm like a kid all day thinking about the trailer and talking about it with my mate at work every chance we get.

It sounds like a boy band!

My eldest son asked me the other day which of this years Blockbuster films I'm most looking forward to: Avengers, Jurassic World etc, I would say after seeing this trailer (loads of times already!), it's gotta be this, I haven't been this excited for a film release since 1999 when I watched a pirate copy of The Phantom Menace in our hotel in Faliraki while on a lads holiday!

The Sarlacc did indeed have a dodgy Gammorrean Guard the night before and spewed Bobba Fett back out half an hour later.

If only Troma did Star Wars.......

Great trailer. I had goose pimples and was a bit emotional when watching this.
It takes a lot for me to be like this as a hardcore original trilogy nutball.
The downed Star Destroyer looks awesome.

I only hope that Harrison does not finally get his wish and have Han killed off.

Looks like one of those overblown, cgi drenched, Michael Bay films everyone is so keen to slag off.
