I think people will always be nostalgic. If your first truck was a 2018 GMC, in 30 years you'd probably miss that truck especially because in 30 years trucks will probably all be electric egg shaped fold out plastic rubber maid containers...

Speaking of being nostalgic, I just saw someone selling a Simplicity lawn tractor like I used to have...suddenly I'm going, I need that, it sold before I could inquire about it and now I am on a quest to find another one. When I was a kid I would do wheelies all the way up the driveway on that thing.

Merchandising made Lucas one rich man that's for sure. I still have a lot of my original Star Wars toys

I agree on all topics, lol on the first paragraph.

I'd like to find a mint wheel horse from the 70's. Thats what we had.  I remember the bumper sticker..."buy a horse, a wheel horse of course"

Yeah i'm not a fan either. Those prequels could have all been one episode if they just trimmed the fat.... which would have made room for two additional good prequels but I digress. I only watch the depsecialized editions now.

Going to the first showing on the 15th. Got reserved seating, I don't care about price, I care about not being the guy who didn't see it yet.

Lol, good point. Will have to be real careful about spoilers! Need to keep away from people, internet, television, radio, etc.., basically hide under a rock.

Okay so I went and saw it this morning with my woman. I see irony in my post which made me laugh when I came on here but....

always emotion is the future. You must unlearn what you have learned. Your friends you see...

#yoda #nospoilers

All I can say is go see it, enjoy it, process it. It's a tough thing to have had the originals in your life, then the totally disrespected originals, then the prequels which you either love or hate no in between, and now the forward direction. I get the marketing, I get the die hards, I get the younger gen. Form your own opinion after you see it and absorb it as it takes processing. It's emotions, rationale, critique, atmosphere etc. Beyond that, anyone reading this deserves spoilers so stop reading past this point until you've seen it okay? Spoilers may happen past this post.... You've been warned so feel free to post your thoughts after this post.

I won't comment on the movie itself other than it's lengthy, so don't drink too much soda while watching.
