Just watched Episode I, and I do enjoy it. Keen for the new installments and I'm really excited to see what they give us.
I'm really excited, coming from someone who loved all six movies. Not including the Clone Wars movie of course (the tv series was great though).
The first time a Star Wars film was ever not released in May. I'm excited for it, but I'll miss celebrating my birthdays with Star Wars.
My favorites here are Episode 3 and Episode 5. Looking forward to 7, though. Since George Lucas probably can't screw it up, and I actually liked the new Star Trek movies and the last two Mission Impossible movies. I am pretty excite.
I thought he'd announced as much a while ago? Edit: Plus I wrote a blog post about the recent comic series that's coming out, The Star Wars: http://hoppedonpop.com/2013/11/12/short-but-sweet-4/ (#2). Among other things, I hold the comics up as proof that Lucas never really understood what audiences want, because the stuff that's bad in the original draft of A New Hope he ended up just re-using in The Phantom Menace.
