    Due to the let down that was the Prequels (for alot of fans, not all) I think alot of us went into The Force Awakens with Reserved Expectations, The Hype was there but we were cautious not to let ourselves get carried away, We were hopeful, but didn't know what to Expect...

    Now we've seen TFA and are relieved that it was much better than alot of us Expected, I'm slightly concerned our Expectations for Episode 8 will be so high, they can never be matched.

    Personally I think Episode 8 has the potential to become the best movie in the Entire Saga, But I'm worried having that expectation will ultimately leave me feeling disappointed.

    Does anyone else have this feeling / thoughts?

    Given the audience scores on RT & IMDB, i'd say they fulfilled what was an almost impossible task. How on earth do you please everyone in this factional fandom? I think JJ said it right in an interview recently, where he said that their aim was simply to disappoint the least amount of people they could as it would be impossible to win everyone or every group over.

    The same will go for VIII - whatever they'll do they will disappoint some faction whether it's PT superfans, OT superfans, anti-Disney types, Lucas fanboys etc.

    My expectations are high.
    From the rumors I heard last week about VIII and XI I do have a good feeling about the upcoming movies.
