This is going to sound incredibly over dramatic. but stick with me im going to share something with you.
WHen return of the Jedi came out i had to wait to watch it on video. back then it took something like a year to come to video, and even then the local video library only had 1 copy so there was a waiting list to watch the film.
I waited and waited and waited. it was painful. Star wars was everything to me, before VHS we used to record it on to a tape deck every xmass off the BBC. you would have to stay quiet in the room whilst it played. at night i would listen to SW over and over as a I fell asleep. only to be rudely awoken by the knocking sound the tape player made when you had to physically turn the tape over.
SW is ingrained into me, possibly only followed by Transformers and Warhammer 40K (which i still avidly follow today) in terms of popularity in my head.
Anyway, back to Jedi, when I watched luke cremate Vader it was literally like my childhood ended, I cant quite explain the feeling but id waited so long for something that when it came, I didnt really want it.
The prequels were released and yet....it wasn't SW, not my SW, sure it was in the SW universe but it wasn't right, to shiny, to political, with characters i didnt know about, or care for....
This trailer has made me giddy with excitement, I truly, honestly, thought it would never happen, that I would never see Luke again... so yes, im sucked in, like some old fool. Please JJ, dont [composite word including 'f*ck'] it up I and many others like me are relying on you.
Im on the hype train!
