I wanted to say something here, before the inevitable sea of disappointment after the movie comes out.
The movie will probably not live up to the Star Wars name, it will probably not "make up" for the 10 year gap between releases. But then again, literally nothing could. While VII prooobably won't be able to go toe to toe with IV - VI, it might become the sacrificial lamb for everyone to hate, so that Star Wars VIII can be liked.
If you hate the movie, don't worry! That should give you hope that VIII will be great!

Of course everyone hopes it will be amazing, but I highly doubt it has any hope in hell of making up for the 10 year gap in the minds of fans. We shall see!
