I was obsessed with it as a kid. Posters. Repeated viewings. Mountains of toys. All that standard stuff. But then I just kinda grew out of it. I mean no derision when I say that I "grew out of it" – it's just that I got older, and moved on to fussing over other fictional universes. That said, I get excited for each new movie. Although I no longer really consider myself a "Star Wars Fan," I am a fan of film, sci-fi, fantasy, and fictional storytelling in general. So even though I don't get all hyped up about lore and what parts of the no-longer-canonical extented univers may still be canon, I'm just excited for a new, big-budget sci-fi movie that looks like it wont' be afraid to have some fun and tickle our nostalgia bones. I'm also a sucker for pratical special effects, so Abrahams' approach to this movie has me beyond intrigued.

As an aside, Star Wars or not, Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars cartoon shorts remain some of the best animated media ever committed to screen. So I am a huge fan of those. It's actually the only Star Wars media I do own on DVD.

It's in the music! Every time I hear that music I get a great burst of exhilaration followed by a desire to sit down and watch the series through – as I do with the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit music. Of course it's usually at some impractical moment where I can't sit down for a few days to do so. 😀 Even the poignant music themes from them – especially the newer 1, 2 & 3 movies – strikes deep and my mind sees the characters and settings and yearns to watch it all again. The layers of the story/stories are so cleverly devised and so well constructed – so epic, encompassing all that this word covers. Will you still remain angryjedi ?
