Ok, what follows is really my brother's domain, but man, I cannot help but to get a little excited about this. Unlike so many others, apparently, I'm a pretty big fan of J.J. Abrams, from his work on Lost as well as the Star Trek reboots. (Some of that, mind you, has much to do with the regular involvement of composer Michael Giacchino for the soundtracks).
Nevertheless, I have high hopes for the new Star Wars coming out in December:
It'll be weird dealing with the new faces, but after further review, that might be a good thing. I mean, Harrison Ford! Indiana Jones once said it wasn't the age, it was the mileage. If that's the case, then geez, the parsecs on that guy!
