It's JJ Abrams, but I'm totally with you on adjusting expectations.
I'm sure it will be a pretty movie to look at, but I'm equally sure that the plot will completely fall apart upon closer examination.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

I'm looking forward to RoSW, in a "yeah, I want to see what happens" kind of way. (There are only so many fictional universes I can be obsessed with, and Star Wars is not one of them, which is actually quite nice. Endgame was actually stressful for me, because I don't like big changes to things I love.)
But I actually want to see the new Jumanji movie more than RoSW, because apparently I will see anything with Mr. The Rock in it. (And because the first one was ridiculously fun.)

I want more Poe, Finn, and Rey. Anything on top is gravy.

I'm seeing RoSW on opening day, because my company is run by massive Star Wars nerds, and they've bought tickets for every employee. I, like Teppy, am in the "want to see what happens, but not obsessed" camp.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Thanks for the ideas, everyone.
I'll see RoSW (and all the other movies)....someday....

I'm seeing Jumanji on Thursday, it's our department's holiday outing this year. I might see RoSW (it took me a surprisingly long time to decipher that acronym) next week while I'm off work, we'll see. I'm doubtful about JJ Abrams, but pretty much in Dana's camp

I will be SUPER sad if RoSW isn't Lens Flare: The Movie.

Then Disney turns it into Lens Flare:The Ride, right?

Ha! Protective eyewear is required on that ride.

It's not as if Disney provides protective earwear for It's a Small World.
