    Yes, but Boba Fett is one of many characters. Trying too hard to be a western would be at the expense of all the other characters.

    I see your point. Thing is most of us have been clouded by the nostalgia (Falcon, Han/Chewie, TIEs, etc) but not realize that the movie may just flat out suck. Like even PT level suck.

    Boyega could even turn out to be the Jake/Hayden of the movie - someone who was horribly miscast.

    Who knows. We just have to wait and see.

    The thing is, it's a mashup of genres. It's a western, a fantasy, a samurai film, a pulp science fiction tale and more. But it is very much cut from the same cloth as the western genre (which IIRC Lucas called the last great American myth--he was trying to make the next): homesteaders on the frontier, battling the angry natives (Tatooine), men on their trusty steeds scouting out a barren landscape (Hoth), bounty hunters out to capture a fugitive... Clearly the western motifs are integral to SW.

    I may have mentioned something like this before, but if Han says something like "I ALWAYS shoot first!", I may not get up and leave, but the huge noise of idiot fanboys cheering will definitely "take me out of the moment".

    I'd probably walk out if the filmmakers accidentally switched the text colors. The "Long Time Ago" prologue and end credits are supposed to be blue and the title crawl is supposed to be yellow NOT the other way around. It's a small detail but an important one.

    I get the strange feeling we may get a Han shooting first joke. I'm just trying to brace myself for it.

    Same here. I'm also expecting at least one reference to "It's a Trap".

    JJ doing it all for the fanboys.

    Han steps back into the Falcon:
    Rey (with frowned forehead): "You... shot him?"
    Han: "Of course I did... (looks into the camera and smiles, breaks the fourth wall)... I always shoot first!"

    :rolleyes:

    - Secret apprentices

    - Anyone who hold their lightsaber backwards

    - Light-whips, light-nunchucks, light-yo-yos, etc.

    - Character X / Y / Z is a clone.

    - Blubbery, unconvincing CGI characters.

    - Every main character is a freakin' teenager.

    Thankfully, though, I believe we're safe from all of these with regards to "The Force Awakens".

    I won't walk out but I'll roll my eyes so hard I'll pull a muscle if we hear Admiral Ackbar say "It's a trap!" again

    Actually, JJ talked about this specifically and they are doing minimal OT references and actually scaled back the one's in there.
