I know I am! I really liked the trailer, but I'm worried that (contrary to the trailer) it might end up too light-hearted at points; I hope they keep it more serious.

I am STOKED for this- when I originally heard about it, it sounded like a "heist" movie, mixed with elements of Saving Private Ryan. I was wondering if a Star Wars movie could show "areas of gray", as opposed to being so black & white in terms of good guys and bad guys. It looks gritty, and even though it's Disney now, count me in among the excited!

(This should hold me over until Episode 8!)

Maybe ONE little concern: let the protagonists be as ruthless as they need to be, and I won't hold it against them- but I just don't want to identify at any point with the Empire. I don't want this to be like the movie Munich.

A little tidbit of info from Mads Mikkelsen:

(POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILER IF TRUE)

I read that earlier. Oopsie, Mads.

I also read earlier that the role of Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot, which Daisy Ridley was rumoured to be in talks for, has gone to Alicia Vikander (whom I have liked in the couple of movies I've seen her in).

Latest news is that...

Well, I don't want to post any possible spoilers, so read at your own risk:

Looks awesome! Great to see Warwick Davis in yet another Star Wars movie, this time playing that crazy looking monkey-dude.
