Elmofongo: 10 years, 10 long years since the last movie 10 years after and 16 years after the BIG Rage and Letdown of Phantom Menace to a lot of people ( I had the benefit of still being a 7-8 year old kid back then). I still remember playing the Revenge of the Sith PS2 game. And PC gaming was practically non existant for me.
This movie better not recreate that Prequal level of hate and dissipointment with Social Media as it is today. If it sucks badly prepare for the next internet war.
Also the website looks interesting:

The movie is overhyped like nothing else, the trailers are NOT looking promising to any degree plus it`s Abrams that applied for this job by delivering two Star Trek movies, one mediocre and one abyssal.
You got the Disneycorporation behind it with its tentacles everywhere, with their aim to milk this franchise to its dead and stupifying the next generations by dumping every piece of Star Wars out the window that is not streamlined and brainfree enough for the most broad mainstream. Like Lucasgames, 1313 and the extended SW universe for example.
