Are you a Star Wars fan?

I can't say I am. My son is, although I won't put him into the die-hard fans category. Yes, he watches the trilogies over and over again and he seems to know details about each one of them (I to VI). But there really are others who would put their loyalties for the franchise up top above all others. For a while now, we've been hearing about the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. It's not due for release until a week before Christmas this year, but in the last couple days the media have been buzzing with the first release of its official trailer on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” game. On the same day, its tickets are going on sale for the first time. As predicted, fans expectations are very high for this next installment titled Star Wars: The Force Awakens. For just a short period, the trailer has been viewed multiple million times on its official YouTube channel and the movie shattered ticket sales records. Interest in the movie was so intense that some ticket-selling sites reportedly crashed for some! I imagine some die-hard fans would do just about anything to get hold of those tickets. Some may even attempt to live their lives by holding on to something from the film. One form of expressing one's devotion is probably by way of having tattoos related to the film. Another is perhaps by naming their loved ones after the characters of the movie. What other ways do you think people would do to show that they are indeed a Star Wars fan?

This is the first that I have heard about any new Star Wars film being released, although it does surprise me. Whatever the quality it is certain to make a vast amount of money in a short space of time. Personally I have no time for Star Wars. Despite being a strong science fiction fan, I find those films quite absurd.

@sishy7 I was always a great fan of such programs as Doctor Who, The Outer Limits and Star Trek.

@Asylum Of course, I had forgotten that you've definitely mentioned Doctor Who before...

So, which science fiction movie do you watch? I couldn't remember if it was mentioned from your posts I've read...

NO I am afraid I am not a fan. People look at me as if I have two heads when I say I have never seen one!

Even if I had 2 heads I would not waste one watching a Star Wars movie.

I liked the first three, which ended up being the last three after they added all the prequels. I don't care for them that much. I really don't want to see the new one. I think it will be sad to see our heroes aged and not looking like heroes anymore.

Yeah, that whole prequels idea confused me even more about the story line...

But for those special effects, I never liked anything ever on that movie series. I probably even did not even care to watch the complete series. I would prefer the Start Trek The Original Series or even the Next Generation one.

@sishy7 Of course, Spock was the reason that I fell in love with that series. The Next Generation was faster and better as far as the effects were concerned. They had a different thing an Android instead of Spock in that series

Yeah, at least you have those two other preference... About the only thing I know related to Star Trek is Mr Spock (he was in it, wasn't he?) and I know nothing about Next Generation.

You sound like me actually... I guess the only reason I'm interested in any way is because my son is a fan.

@sishy7 No kids here so maybe that's why I was never interested.

I think its great to have followed a whole series of movies such as that. I did not follow this series, nor have I seen even a single movie from it.

I cannot say that I really am a Star Wars fan, but one of my friends surely is. I am sure he is going to watch the next episodes.

Yeah, I watched the fourth movie which was supposed to be the very beginning of the story line with my son at the theater because he was too young to go by himself then.

I saw the first film when it was released in the late 1970s. I thought it was good but not good enough to tempt me into watching any of the sequels/prequels.

Yeah, my son had to watch the first three movies from videos as he wasn't born yet - he couldn't believe I didn't watch the first one at the movie theater...

Go to Star Wars events. My son is also a fan, but does not intend to go to the opening night. He will go see the movie, that's a given. He too knows all the facts about the first six movies.

One would be to host a star wars themed party. Fight Jedi style rather than wwe. Keep nicknamed like obi wan kanobi(too long I know :P). Enacting the perfect Darth Vader style. Stormtrooper in the house that would be fun. Playing the theme perfectly on an instrument of your choice. Starting your stories with once upon a time in a galaxy far far way :D Damn I am waiting for the VII to come soon !!!
