We’re 10 days away from the theatrical release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. So look, like every good nerd, I am excited about the new Star Wars movie, I wonder though if I am excited enough. I don’t plan on camping out, or even seeing it opening weekend (serious eff opening weekend crowds), and I might not even see it the following weekend, but I will definitely go see it.

While many other fan boys and girls are virtually peeing themselves in anticipation, I am just neutral about the 7th installment to the saga. Yes, I like what Abrams has done for Star Trek, and I don’t have any issues with his other work, but the Star Wars franchise has been pretty well beaten into the ground.

In order to blow my mind this movie is really going to have to work for it, and no I’m not mad about there being storm troopers of various races. How unmitigatedly self centered and stupid do you have to be to assume that in the future there’s only going to be white clones in the clone army? No. Stop it. You’re cool with aliens that look like Gonzo, but not a black dude? Get the eff outta here with that noise.

Are you going to check out Star Wars The Force Awakens? Will it be a Midnight showing, or something more low key? Let us know!
