trelobita[Error: unknown template qotd]I *love* the non-special edition original trilogy. I also love many of the books and the expanded universe surrounding the original trilogy and anything predating 1999.
I choose to pretend that the prequel trilogy and its expanded universe don't exist. >_< I think they are flat, boring, stiff, CGI as hell, and ruin much of what was wonderful in the originals.
That said, I am cautiously excited for the new movie. J.J. Abrams is a good fit for Star Wars (more so than for Star Trek really) and I think he will give it his all. Looks like he will be using a nice mix of CGI and practical effects and sets/locations as opposed to having the actors do EVERYTHING on a green screen. It will be wonderful to see the old characters I love and hear the familiar musical motifs related to those characters. I got a little choked up hearing that Han & Leia motif in the new trailer. <3 <3 <3
I work on opening night. I'll be perfectly content to just see it as a matinee on my next offday. X-D
