Mr. D™: Lol saw yesterday Star Wars joghurt at a local super market here in germany, beside all the other crap that is being sold.
I am more than ever convinced, that SW7 is nothing more than a big merchandise commercial for Disney, with an expected revenue stream of 18 billion USD
And even more than the episodes I-III, it will be awkwardly streamlined and watered down to appeal to the broadest audience possible.
And still there is somewhere a tiny spot in me that hopes the movie will be at least halfway decent. And I don`t want to break that illusion by watching the movie.
Same here man.
I was pretty amazed when I first saw the trailer of new Star Wars a long time ago, then reality kicked in and I saw a big ugly marketing campaign emerge that shouted loud and clearly "This movie is probably shit, but it was so expensive, that we desperately need as much money back in the first week as possible before anyone makes his mind up about the movie itself!".
Since then, I'm trying to keep my hopes as low as possible in order to not be disappointed at all.
Yeah, I'm probably a grumpy old man, that's how I roll.
BTW: Best Star Wars tribute ever (in Schwäbisch)
