Star Wars 7 is going to be so disappointing because there's no reason to think it'll be especially good but there's no way it'll be as bad as Lucas.

This. I try to explain this to people and they're like "Nah, JJ the real chosen one."

To be fair, he's emphasizing aspects of the original trilogy that made it great. Practical effects, real costumes, and so on.

I agree. That's why I'm excited.

To be fair, he's emphasizing aspects of the original trilogy that made it great. Practical effects, real costumes, and so on. That, and his Star Trek movies were basically Star Trek: Star Wars. Judging by those movies, J.J. knows how to pull off excitement, emotion, and so on. Look at this video:

YouTube


It's not hard to see why people are excited. For many, it's a return to form for Star Wars. The aspects of the original trilogy that made it so memorable and enjoyable being reintroduced to Star Wars? Awesome.

The Force Awakens isn't going to be Citizen Kane by any means. But it doesn't have to be. It just has to be a Star Wars movie, and so far it looks like that is what we're getting.
Pretty much my sentiment. Actually from what I've seen it actually does look like it'll be better than just a par movie, but plenty of trailers have tricked us in the past. What I expect will be a good movie that doesn't resonate well in the Star Wars IP. But considering the prequels...

I like Star Wars and I honestly keep forgetting that 7-9 is going to be a thing.

Episode 7 just looks so meh that I can't even be bothered to keep track of it.
Behold... The amazing captain PHAAAAAAASMA

Other than that though I don't understand why it's meh. I'm also not up to date on 7 stuff. So...

Leading actors are absolutely mediocre, we still don't know anything about their characters, and the story looks to be a galactic civil war version 2 electric boogaloo.

The utterly generic names for the villains don't help either.

Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
I had no clue what you were talking about and I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan.

Now if you had said Episode VII..

I neither fear, nor despise.
How is that funny?
because even though i'm just saying "episode 7", everyone knows what i'm talking about

the cultural osmosis of the star wars franchise is just so strong that you don't even need to say "star wars"

everyone just knows what you're talking about

it's not funny in a "haha" kind of way, it's funny in a "wow, that's bizarre/interesting" kind of way

so basically

not "haha" funny

but

funny "weird"
