Star Wars advertising
I don't think I've seen an actual trailer for the movie. I have definitely seen every other company that advertises include some kind of Star Wars branding in their ads. Just missing the geico add where the gecko takes on a sith Lord in order to save 15% on light saber insurance.

I'm trying so hard to avoid spoilers before I see it at 6:40 on Friday. But every freaking commercial is showing a new character or some planet they are on.

I may have to go to Sainsbury's after I finish up here. Just for fun. Won't be buying any (unless Sainsbury's Value Muesli has jumped on the bandwagon - hahaha) as I have no clean bowls or milk. Hmmm. Maybe I won't go after all, might make me feel sad.

I will be avoiding this like the plague.
I've been tired of it for a year.

How many forget the first Star Wars. It was considered a good and maybe promising movie by studio executives. First weekend shocked all executives.
We stood in line that was clearly a block buster. The theater owner came out and personally promised everyone that they would see it that night. He stopped playing all other movies. All theaters only played Star Wars. I got in to an 11:30 viewing. When I came out, those massive lines were gone. He kept his word. Always credit the little people for making things work. Today, so many forget how both Star Trek and Star Wars so changed what had previously been awful and totally dumb science fiction - because movie executives are so routinely out of touch. BTW, who fought for Star Trek? NBC killed it off calling it "too cerebral". Yeph. Most of us are adults who still think like children. Lucille Ball took on a campaign to do something that almost never happened. Star Trek was given a second chance. Movie executives know most of us only want and understand emotional stories - not stories based in realities. But a powerful minority (and Lucy) saw what the better educated want. Will this Star Wars target the emotional or the '"cerebral"? |

There may have been a lot of "cerebral" that went into making it, but Star Wars was always about the "emotional".
That's why the new Star Trek trailer looks worrisome. Star Trek is supposed to be the cerebral one, and the trailer makes it look too roller-coastery.

This is why we watch PBS. When I finally watch it, it will be fresh. But I still click on every Star Wars story I see on the web.
