I think it's more to do with the stiffy everyone except you will get from knowing they've started to make it.

The hype will start soon and I'll have lost interest by Christmas.
Still haven't watched VII because I got bored of the build up.

Would make all kinds of sense to kill Luke. In fact it's a pretty predictable thing to do.

Ford's name wasn't mentioned anywhere in the cast announcement. I highly doubt he will return.

No he's not coming back. There will be a brief appearance from whoever it is that will play the young Han, in Rogue One.

If you decide to watch it, watch out for the extra scene after the credits end. Best ever in my opinion.

I teach a class of 7 year olds and they have been talking about nothing else for ages. i know a lot of the story now so will watch in a few months when the DVD comes out and my addled brain can't remember the details.

Do end credits scenes make it to DVD? I genuinely don't know. What I do know is that scene just cannot be missed (especially if you want to get hyped for VIII!), so if you have to see it in the cinema then I would.

Far better than anything we've seen from Marvel - and they've had some crackers.

I will watch this this week, but I have come to the realisation recently that I don't like Star Wars very much. I think all the hype has ruined it for me. It's fecking everywhere over here.

Good luck with that.
