Some people prefer the original versions of Grimm's fairy tales, while others enjoy the sanitized Disney versions (and I'm not trying to be ironic there.) To each his own there.

All in all...everyone needs to relax...period. What we got to day was literally a little over 88 seconds of footage, which told us NOTHING about the characters or the movie itself. Whether or not Abrams can pull it off remains to be seen, but the man has a midas touch and we just have to hope he'll give it his best attempt. He successfully revived the Star Trek franchise (I personally enjoyed both movies, the first a lot more than the second, but hardcore fans there will tell you that he bastardized and butchered it as well...) Hopefully he will apply that same amount of love and care to this franchise, and we will finally have the Star Wars follow up we have been craving for the last thirty plus years.

the original Star Wars was basically just an Arthurian knight tale reworked into a sci-fi so that one was fun and adventure with light-hearted action and very minor drama. Empire though did darken the tone and bring on more drama, hell the good guys lose by the end of the film and this is easily the most liked entry of the series. Also the original Grimm tales are great, in Aschenbroedel (Cinderella) ravens can talk and tear out bad people's eyes and then leave them for dead, and Snow White is rightfully vindictive and forces the queen to dance on hot coals until she dies, bitchin'. As long as there are no Ewok or Jar Jar characters this movie should be at least better than Phantom Menace.
