Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things.

Forgive me Master Yoda but the full trailer for The Force Awakens has me at odds with myself. On the one hand I am in awe... struck with complete and utter joy over how awesome this movie is looking and how it appears to be everything us fans could ever ask for. On the other hand I remember the prequels... the dark time... the lost hopes and dreams for a better franchise.
Now the toy isles fill me with dread. Do I buy these cool, new things? I want to... but I remember Darth Maul and even worse, Jar Jar Binks so I keep hesitating and wonder if I will regret putting things back on the shelf.
I didn't even get in on the ticket pre-sales. Have I really become so fearful of the thing I loved most? Was the wound from George Lucas really that deep?
December 17th better get here fast. I need to rip that band-aid off and get back the adventure and excitement I've been craving.
