Not gonna lie but I'm probably going to have a giant smerk across my face and in my head I'll probably be going "aw yeah!"

At first when I found out that Disney had bought Star Wars and wanted to make a sequel, my reaction was this:



Then when I processed the news and thought about all the possibilities I came to the conclusion that George Lucas selling Star Wars to Disney was probably the best decision he's ever made. Now I'm incredibly excited for TFA. So the very thought that we have nearly six days to go makes me all:

If the reactions were this positive for Ep. I, then TFA should be great! This looks much darker, along the lines of Empire, than TPM was. I enjoyed ESB the most of the six.

I remember that video, I think it was on the Episode I dvd at least the leading up to.

Episode I had dark undertones, that often get overlooked because of "how awesome was Darth Maul" and "auggggggggh Jar Jar" that they forget, the entire film was about enslavement. The Republic had one of their systems on threat of enslavement, signing away their freedoms in order to receive trade again, and the other out rim territories simply profit off of slavery openly and willingly. One fought to seek diplomatic asylum and the other simply lived on like normal. The Jedi once all powerful and knowing have become impotent, and antiquated by failing to evolve with the times, sticking with nonsense traditions and myth. You take away Jar Jar and whiny Anakin and you have a pretty dark film, seething with the oncoming darkness.

What if Rey, Finn, and Poe are all Force Sensitive and join together with the training of Luke to become like the Jedi Avengers of the Galaxy to take down Kylo Ren?

Look at all the practical effects. Take that George Lucas with your CGI creatures of the PT!

Also, does anyone see a resemblance in McQuarrie's early Chewbacca concept art



To that of this creature?

That's a possibility, The 17th can't get here fast enough.

It takes intense training to become one with the force. Only four recorded individuals have done it to my knowledge. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and (somehow) Anakin. Unless you seriously think Finn is going to start the film with no knowledge of the force, to becoming one of the greatest force users of all time, in 2 hours 10 minutes... The answer is no.

I think they will flip it and in episode 9 actually redeem kylo against snoke.

Actually there were only three. Qui-Gon's training was incomplete when he died and he was unable to maintain his form after death. This was actually mentioned by Qui-Gon himself during the Yoda story arc.

Actually now that I think about it, that early Chewie art kinda looks like the one alien guy on Rebels.

Probably quite close to the truth actually. Rebels is heavily inspired by MacQuarrie's original concept art. The current Darth Vader model, the lightsabers and many of the ships and vehicles are all drawn from his original designs and sketches.
