F* me ... I really would rather not get trampled over seeing 88 seconds "first", but I'm really dying to see it.

So only Americans get to see it early? The rest of the world aren't good enough? Where does majority of box office take come from I wonder?

Thank you so much. I am 100% with this. Lloyd gets so much hate. He got so much hate back then that it really forced him out of the business altogether. He was only 8 or 9 when he made the flick and did exactly what he was told to do by his director, i.e. Lucas. I myself had started to go with the hate train until I popped Phantom in to watch it on Blu and fell in love all over again. He was sweet, smart, and cute as could be, which was really the point. It was/is tragic to watch such a lovable kid go bad over the course of the series. Lucas got that part right. Just watch the old documentary from the Phantom DVD and see how excited he was at just getting cast. From that vantage point it looked wonderful, but now I'm sure he wishes he was never even in Hollywood to begin with. I still love you Jake.

I wonder where we in the UK will get to see it. Maybe after the US release of the teaser they will just release it online (given that someone will have already recorded/uploaded it by then!)

Nest of Gundarks anyone?

That would be most excellent indeed.

I think I'll opt for the previous, as I won't be looking at this film under a microscope, just a happy Star Wars fan.

I thought they were a myth!

Yeah, it really blows. Many people all over the world are complaining (how unusual).

The myth is real my friend. I am one myself. Haters gonna hate. I appreciate.

I'm hoping the teaser is more like the teaser for TPM and not ROTS. It would suck if half of those 88 seconds was text or footage from the other films.

I mean the trailer isn't even out yet and someone is complaining about the hand written card lol. I wish I could say I was surprised but this is star wars.

That's why I'm just a happy fan. Happy, happy, happy. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Nothing but love, baby, nothing but love. I love Star Wars as is. Warts and all. I love the prequels and I will shout it from the housetop. I cannot wait to see what kind of awesomeness Abrams is concocting. Bring the trailer whenever J.J. I'm ready.

You and me, me and you, the both of us TOGETHER! Us against the world. Cool. Like Bonnie and Clyde, Starsky and Hutch, or… Turner and Hooch.

As is so often with Lucas the idea was sound but the execution was lacking: the PT looks SO crisp and clean and digitally antiseptic versus the analogue spit 'n' polish of the OT that there's this massive visual disconnect between the two trilogies, and having more OT vehicles (or just the Falcon and some streaking starfields, even) could've made that transition a lot less jarring to the audience.

Only scenes on Naboo, Kaminor and Coruscant (and maybe a few more) looks clean but every single shot on Tattooine is even dirtier than in the original trilogy. The Death Star scenes, Imperial ships looks very clean too, only less colorful that's why we don't notice it.

The theater staffs will have their own cell phones ready.

And I will be there for it. I hope, at least. Seeing as how it's still over a year away.

In any case where is the studio and the funding coming from?

Oh come on. Open up your mind, think bigger. This not 30 years ago.

[SymbioticFunction]

Would people here really attend a cinema screening just to see that SW teaser trailer? Honest question.
