I have a little niece and she doesn't even know what is going on and, of course, doesn't know anything about the old movies, yet, she is all gung ho on the new movie. It is because the young kids just hop on the band wagon for all things new and of the moment. Plus, all the merchandise and products available. So, that is what is appealing to the very young kids. T.V. and media tells them what is hot and what they should want -- so they do!!!

I saw all the original movies when they first came out and I liked them at the time, although I was not a fanatic about them. Now, I couldn't care less and am kind of sick of hearing about all the hoopla.

As they say -- there is nothing new under the sun!!!

It's harmless fun and the classic good vs evil......I find it nice that it is a multigenerational movie. I liked the original and was not into it like my grown son but he is attending many Star War events and having fun....there is so much evil in the world and bad news....Star Wars is a relief and good clean fun...I would like to think good always wins against evil.

I saw the original when it first came out and enjoyed it and the first sequel, but have never been fannish about the franchise. And after the first sequel....I am not a sequel person. Totally lost interest.

I have two great grand nephews who wen't alive even when the first sequels were released who have seen every film multiple times and are totally into all of it. Their Xmas presents from me are all SW - I figured I couldn't lose!

We have few happy things that we have in common as a nation, let alone multi-generational to boot. For that reason alone, it's a Good Thing.

I think I might be the only 62 year old on the planet that's never seen any of the Star Wars movies.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

I'm not 62, but I've never seen any of them either.

I never had any interest in them.

Late hubby was an absolute sci-fi fanatic including Star Wars and Star Trek. We had an entire room full of memorabilia. My kids grew up with it and loved it all and my grandkids have grown up listening to stories about all the Star Wars and Star Trek fun and games and parties.

Don't forget too that Star Wars is frequently talked about on the TV show Big Bang Theory which is super popular with young folks, so now they'll get to experience it first hand!
