Somebody who saw a sneak preview of the film said it's almost as good as Caravan of Courage.

I'm soooo hyped now.

Yeah.... that must be one of those good old OT purists taking right there.

[Prime Clone]

I'd like to know people's opinions of the story without actually knowing the story.

TheForce.net: The Force Awakens Spoilers Galore From Children's Book Released Early

This is what people are getting worked up about, hardly a spoiler

I read the comments there and the criticism mainly seemed to be that it was ANH 2.0 ... which I kinda suspected all along.

Prequels too different, sequels too similar to the OT. You can't win either way. And you can't catch lightning in a bottle.

I agree. I think I will like this movie though. I just think like you do that people will complain it is too similar.

There's a big difference between thematic similarities and plot point rehashes kids!

 

[Prime Clone]

^ But if there's too many of either it begins to feel derivative.

Pretty much.
Still I'd take prequels and pre-rebooted EU over "Greatest Hits" films and rehashed EU.

The one says who the difference can't tell.

Biggest complaint is that it's 30 years too late. All those wasted years while the actors were in their prime.

This is Star Wars: The Next Generation.

The Prequels could've been made any time.

 

[Prime Clone]

Well, each trilogy is about a different generation so that still holds.

 

[RIDDICK]

It's funny but now, knowing the plot, I'm more interested in what they did with Finn.
He's the most out-of-place yet kinda unique character in this.

I wonder if he's Disney's Kyle Katarn...

 

[Solidus]

"Disney's Kyle Katarn" is a good way of putting it . Imperial Stormtrooper turned Jedi Knight...
