that lad who was sick and wanted to see it died apparently. Didn't know it was that pressing.

cancer or star wars?
The cancer, I didn't follow the story beyond "very sick man wants to see it" but based on the picture of him I saw I thought he'd last longer. I've seen people that looked sicker hang on for ages
Alderaan weather T
He saw the film first though. Which is nice.

Supercut of all the trailers
My mate from New York is arriving the day it opens and he wants to beat all his friends to seeing it, so I'm going opening night now.
I know every single word of the first (okay, IVth) movie by heart.
Seen Empire and Jedi maybe half a dozen times each, tops.
The prequels, once each and never again.
I know the 4th (okay 1st) movie off by heart because of younger siblings playing it nonstop when they were very young. It never wasn't shite.
I saw episode 2 and 3 both once, I remember enjoying them actually. I can't muster up the urge to defend them when people go off on a mad one though.
I find that the people that hate them most were the ones who were invested in the earlier episodes.
I think that kids like the new movies fine.
And let's face it. It's all just space princesses and pirates and evil kings.
It doesn't even pretend to be about anything deeper in the way that Star Trek or The Dark Knight do.
I watched the first one (IVth) a few years back and was shocked how creaky it was compared to my childhood memory (I grew up watching them at christmas on tv). Should I try again?
For comparison, I watched Labyrinth the other day and it was better than I remembered it being.

Each to his own.
I remember when Lucas remastered the first bunch (before the prequels) and there was huge buzz and big crowds, cos it was fuckin' Star Wars, you know? We haven't seen it since we were kids, but it's a classic.
Opening night crowds are the best, everyone's all into it with Vader and Leia, Lots of cheering.
Then when Luke showed up, more cheers, except he's all "But I was going to go into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!" and the whole cinema goes quiet. Like a lot of people had forgotten what a whiny little bitch he was.
Anyway.
I find I watch these things differently now. Like I'm looking at how the story was put together, how they are setting up the various acts and scenes. How much more time they gave everything then. Etc etc
Very long answer to your question, without answering it. Sorry.
