Star Wars is Back

For John, BLUF:  Of course I will be seeing it.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

If Fox News is to be believed, there is a new trailer out for the upcoming new Star Wars movie.  And it is dragging down the Internet.

The new movie is The Force Awakens.  The plot summary is "Star Wars: Episode VII is set about 30 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, and will star a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces."

And, just a sure as a new Star Wars movie is an Ebenezer Scrooge to tell you why the movie (the movie series) is a bad thing.  In this case we have Mr David P Goldman and his column, "May the Farce Be With You".

UPDATE:  The release date is 18 December 2015.  That is over a year away.  What are they going to be doing for the next twelve and a half months?

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
