I'm surprised you didn't quote the balcony scene.  Now THAT was a vomit inducing cringefest.

I actually did like 3, but that's in spite of its many, many flaws. 

My favorite is Episode 6 (though I acknowledge that episode 5 is quantitatively better.)  For my money, nothing beats the throne room scene.

Love the throne room scene.  But nothing beats Anakin vs ObiWan.  I was crying my eyes out.  Especially having read the books - including the juvenile ones - of their time together as Master and Padawan.  It's just such a heart break for that break up.  "I hate you!" "You are my brother, Anakin!  I loved you!"  Ahhh... heartstrings plucked like a banjo.

The throne room resonates with me because over the years I've come to understand it differently.  At first, I thought Vader deflected Luke's blow against Palpatine out of loyalty to his master but later, (especially after I became a dad) I realized that no.  Vader stopped the blow to save Luke.

::shiver::  So good.

I have no plans to see it in the theater.  If my daughter asks to be taken to it, my wife, @Dollfacekilla has offered.

Maybe it'll be good.  Maybe.  Problem is Episode 7 only looks good when compared to 8.  It still wan't a great movie, and now here's the same director who made that one back to do it again, only with his vision all screwed up and broken by Rian "Subverting Expectations" Johnson.

I'd rather watch Episode 1 in an all-day loop than to pay to go see one more Disney Star Wars movie. 

**SPOILERS**

As for the trailer... yeah, it's Jedi porn followed by some images and audio that seem to be aimed at going back to the Original Trilogy well yet again.  "Come see it, you older guys!  Look, Billy Dee Williams is back!  Look, we're robbing the Emperor's Grave to convince you that there'll be something worth seeing in this film!  DIDJA NOTICE THE WRECKAGE OF THE DEATH STAR IN THE BACKGROUND???  DON'T YA WANNA KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE?!?!?!?!?!?"

No, Disney.  I really don't care to know.  Thus far you have not failed to take a steaming dump on just about every single element of the Original Trilogy that you've used to bait me into your garbage Star Wars films.  You killed Han Solo in the most anticlimactic and predictable sci-fantasy death since Kirk got a bridge dropped on him.  You turned Leia into Mary Poppins,  you spaced Ackbar, you turned Lando Calrissian into a robosexual, and you turned the greatest sci-fantasy character of all time into a bitter, crusty old hermit and then killed him in an apparent crowning moment of awesome that turned out to be entirely illusory.  So no, Disney, I'm not the least little bit interested in what you plan to do with the old Death Star, Luke's Voice, Lando or Palpatine.  

If that really is a hunk of the Death Star, why don't you just take it and cram it where the sun don't shine.

So what you are saying is you will only be seeing it once in the theater? ;)

I'll admit there's a part of me that wants to go just to be able to say I've seen every single Episode in the theater when it came out... but I'm pushing back against that, because it feels like a silly reason to go.

I was... the trailer was a HUGE turn off for me.

I'm not a person who has huge Star Wars nostalgia.  My favorite of the movies actually was half* of Episode 7, because it actually had new material and I didn't feel like I was trapped in a re-run of a movie I never enjoyed (the original trilogy).   I had hopes, but then Episode 8 was just a lame movie.  But then the Episode 9 trailer... *Jane desperately bangs on the door* Let me out!!  Let me out of the never ending re-run!!!   

 

*Specifying: the half that was actually new material.  Not the half where they hung out in trash bins and otherwise are trapped in the re-run.
