And we’re still 12 months away from the release.

I suppose everyone believes Abrams will be able to work some magic and salvage the series from the drek of the last three films (though the last one wasn’t as bad as the previous 2 IMO).

Not sure it’s so much magic as just something better than the crappy direction and wooden dialog of Lucas. Personally they had me with X-wings on a low-level assault run throwing roostertails behind them…

It won’t be the way it was that first time in May 77 (before the Time & Newsweek covers exploded it) that I saw ANH, but if it can be at least as good as Sith or Jedi I’ll be satisfied.
