Being a huge Star Wars fan, I was excited for the new episode seven, The Force Awakens. I'm also a fan of JJ Abrams and liked what he did for the Star Trek reboots. I very purposefully spent the preceding year avoiding any news articles and spoiler talk other than the officially published teasers and trailers.
Unfortunately, I couldn't go opening day Friday due to my kids' schedules but got seats for the first Monday afterwards. Anyway, I'm at my son's basketball tourney on the weekend lounging between games - two kids are sitting next to me and before I know it, one of them blurts out the major spoiler of the movie (which anyone who's seen it would know!). Sigh, so much for no spoilers. I felt like the dad in the World Cup "spoiler" commercial last year.
Ah well, still a great movie IMO. Yeah, I get they "rebooted" it but I thought it was cast well with a lot of nice refs to the original.
