Yeah, I like Star Wars, but it burned through all of my enthusiasm in the 00s.
I've also learned to never get too enthusiastic about any JJ Abrams project, either.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am mostly invested in Rey. And Finn and Poe. And Leia. And Rose.

And also Lando. And Chewie. And BB-8.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think it's a stupid title, but I also think ALL the SW movies have stupid titles, so it's on-brand at least.

Fortunately being a Trekkie as a kid protected me from ever getting too into the Star Wars franchise. (I didn't even see the original movie first run, but when it returned to theaters a couple of years later before Empire Strikes Back.)

I have no opinions either way about the new Star Wars title, but am apprehensively looking forward to hearing about the fic that is influenced by it. One of my friends is in the fic side of fandom, and gives me horrified reports.

I was too invested in the original movies to be very impressed with the latest batch.

I would just like more Finn/Poe that does not also involve Kylo/Rey.

My main take-away from the trailer: With their budget, you'd think they'd do a better job matching Rey's face to her neck and chest.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My feelings re SW echo what you all have already said, so I'll just say: Yep.
