I've only really checked out some of the official leaked stuff, and it looks pretty decent. I'm cautiously optimistic about it - especially since Lucas really isn't involved. The best Star Wars movies were those where he was kept at arm's length.

Here's a link to the real teaser:

Not much given away, obviously. Seems like it has the right feel to it, even with the obvious JJ Abrams look and such.

Can't believe people got up at 9am and bought tickets for a movie just to see that.

Of the original trilogy, Lucas only wrote and directed the first movie. He only has a "story by" credit on Empire and a co-Screenplay by credit on Jedi. He wrote and directed the second trilogy.
So I take it to mean that means Busta rates Return of the Jedi over A New Hope which I think is nuts.

Empire above all. Jedi's probably on par with A New Hope for me. It's the only Star Wars that Lucas directed that doesn't, you know, suck.

It's because he wasn't as established as much as he was later on. It was more of a collaboration than the prequels, and I mean, who was going to question George Lucas then?

I go back and forth on the first two. I think Empire's probably front to back the strongest of them but I really like how Gilbert Taylor got A New Hope to look and I sometimes think that Empire's only as good as it is because it didn't have to spend the time the first one did world-building which was clunky dramatically but really the meat and potatoes of the whole enterprise.

I was the other way around. CGI Falcon seems weird...

Good news is they completely rebuilt it from scratch so there is a physical version for the non flying shots and according to Kev Smith it is glorious.
I'm pretty sure George had the only executive producer credit on Empire and some pretty solid uncredited work in editing and directing (Marcia Lucas had some hefty influence, overall, on 4, 5 and 6) Empire is probably the best but Hope is pretty significant too.
George choosing to strangle the prequels with melodrama, crap writing ( characters I don't care about ) and wooden actors ( in spite of sweet, sweet eye candy ) leaves me hoping JJ's fidgeting camera work will save the day, well that and a cool new lightsaber.
It must have been all those sweet, sweet stormtroopers.

An aside here, just watched a very funny movie called; "The Guru", funny and a heartwarmer as well. Doesnt hurt that Heather Graham is in it either.
