Will you see the new Star Wars film?

The full trailer for the new Star Wars film (The Force Awakens) has debuted online.

It's dominating social media accounts, and tickets for the film (in December) have already gone on sale.

The prequels are so generally dismissed, I wondered if anyone would be excited about this new ones, but it certainly seems that way.

So, will you see the new Star Wars film?

No.

I saw the first of the prequels and it sort of crapped on star wars for me, so probably not.

Never seen a whole Star Wars movie,mostly because there so utterly boring.
You know you're being sold a pup with all this prequel,sequel,treacle rubbish?

Avatar MIA · 20-10-2015 06:49AM

Yes, it has Indianna Jones in it.

Into The Blue · 20-10-2015 06:49AM

I love how it's become 'cool' to say "I've never seen a Star Wars / James Bond film"

Anyway, tickets booked I'll be going. The prequels were garbage but hopefully these new ones will be closer to Empire in quality and tone.

The hype placed around films these days is scandalous. Having a teaser trailer, an international trailer, a preview trailer and a main trailer and however many more accompany the film is simply ridiculous and unneccesary.

I will be in attendence

arayess · 20-10-2015 06:59AM

they fooled me with the prequels and a wise man once said "fool me once , shame on you, Fool me — you can't get fooled again"

Foxhound38 · 20-10-2015 07:04AM

The only question here for me is where to find a daycent cinema that still puts butter in the popcorn

Hate Bond films.

Star Wars are the only blockbuster movies that I get excited for.

Superheros, Batman, the Marvel Universe et al can suck my ass but a Star Wars movie brings me instantly back to my childhood so I will certainly be going to see it.

Can't wait. Love star wars.

NachoBusiness · 20-10-2015 07:49AM

Of course.. and hopefully somewhere will be screening the original Trilogy in week leading up to it also.

bad2dabone · 20-10-2015 07:52AM

I have genuinely never seen a Star Wars film and this stage probably never will. You know some people aren't saying it to be cool, right?

Sadly, I've seen some James Bond films.

Watched the original 3 star wars about a month ago. They're actually fairly shíte. The newer 3 are complete dogshít. This might be an improvement if George Lucas isn't involved

petes · 20-10-2015 08:10AM

After seeing what J.J. Abrams did with the Star Trek films I'll most definitely be going!

whiskeyman · 20-10-2015 08:10AM

couldn't be arsed.
Don't give a fupp about sci-fi.

HamsterFace · 20-10-2015 08:11AM

I don't know why but I get intensely irritated by how geeky people get about Star wars.
It's just a film ffs, and a kids one at that

Links234 · 20-10-2015 08:16AM

Hell yeah!

Streetwalker · 20-10-2015 08:22AM

Whatever about the 3 prequels, this is just totally wrong.

They are great entertainment that have stood the test of time and still hold up today.

As for the new ones, why don't people forget about what happened with the prequels and see what the reviews are like for this?

I'm expecting good things as the director JJ Abrams did a good job with the Star Trek reboot.

You could say 'it's just a film' about anything or

"David" is just a statue or "The Mona Lisa" is just a painting or "Citizen Kane" is just a film.

Also, Star Wars, whilst it has entertaining aspects that appeal to kids, spaceships, aliens and light sabres etc, the actual story in it is certainly not aimed at kids.

Anyhow, even so, what is wrong with adults enjoying kid's stuff now and then?

oh, I'm sure someone will be along in a moment to 'school' you on how they weren't original, then they'll mention how Lucas borrowed heavily from Kurosawa and Ford......blah........blah......

They just skip over the part that they are great fun
