Star Wars The Force Awakens!

I don't really understand why people would be even slightly excited for it. General consensus says the last 3 were terrible, so why would another one make people excited?

I guess Star wars is like the movie equivilant of the sonic franchise.

They explicitly said this trilogy would be nothing like the prequel. They intend to put less emphasis on special effects and respect the original material way more.

Haters gonna hate, I'm hyped as hell.
