So, Episode III was set 19 years before Episode IV, and Episode VII is set 30 years after Episode VI.
In the less than two decades the Empire was in power, the technology increased, and we saw different ships being used in the two eras.
In the three decades since the fall of the Empire, technology seems to have stagnated, and we're seeing the same X-Wings, TIE Fighters, and YT-1300 as before.

Wow. The New Republic really didn't have their stuff together.

Well, the X-Wings were brand new in Episode IV I believe and if you compare that to the real world it's not that far fetched as the F15 and F16 have been around for an equally long time.

Something fishy about that stormtrooper...........

Oh yeah, He ain't a clone. (maybe he's another character that's pinched a suit for a disguise)

And as for the new lightsabre.............

Plus the fall of the Empire (assuming it has fallen and not just retreated and restructured under a smaller amount of worlds) is going to have been a bit like the fall of the Roman Empire, mass chaos and disorder without a strong central government to control hundreds of worlds.
Technology is not going to advance that far until some sense of order has been restored enough.

This is all just guess work, of course, I'm not really clued up on the EU of Star Wars but I know that the Galactic Empire was a colossal entity, so something that big collapsing would cause a massive vacuum (pardon the pun).

After what he did to Star Trek, I won't give Jar Jar Abrams a dime.

I doubt I will ever pay to watch anymore of his Star Trek reboots but I'm actually looking forward to seeing this in the theater. I saw the original 3 on the big screen but I waited till the next 3 they were out on video. This one looks good enough to splurge a bit on.

Saw it today, after work. I was really surprised that there wasn't a circus at the theater to see it.

Saw it in 3D

Agreed and can't believe I actually voted.

The cast must be so old they'll be using light sabre crutches and walking sticks to get around.

I understood the poll as how we like the trailer.
I like the trailer

I'm lucky enough not to be a fan. Enjoyed the original trilogy, enjoyed the prequels (Episode I was a bit boring though) and enjoyed the Star Trek reboot.

They're entertaining movies. That's what movies should be

A.

Best thing about the restart ( so far ) are the new characters. Hopefully they will listen to what fans are saying and crank it up a notch for VIII.

Please pray that this never happens.
