I look at Star Wars and wonder what it would have been like if Lucas had just targeted a slightly older audience. I look at, say, Rogue 1, and to me that's what Star Wars should have been like all along, at least that. It would have been so much better, IMO. Of course it might not have sold 50 billion action figures and tickets and whatnot. But it would have been so much better.
The teaser looks pretty great. Sometimes I think Star Wars just gets stuck pushing along its own Titanic-like franchise, trudging from movie to movie. Although, I have liked most of the latest chapters as well as the stand-alones. (Of course, everything recently is better than what they did with the prequels.)
My larger question for Star Wars and/or Disney, is where does it go from here? (after 9) I've heard rumors of an Obi Wan movie and a couple others, but where does the franchise go? Since Disney now owns everything related, I can't imagine them saying "ok, great story, it's done now". That of course will not happen. And they definitely will not wait 15 years for another trilogy. (I remember Lucas saying in some DVD extra that Star Wars was a 12 part story.)
Who knows, but based on what we do, it is fun to watch...

I think Star Wars has gotten stuck in trying to figure out the most affective way to market more toys and merchandise. Watching the last few movies gave me the same feeling as exiting a ride at Disney where they route you through the gift shop.
Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.
