It may not be the Tat, but we've already got a desert planet lined up. I'm optimistic.

I count at least 5 on McP's list that are already true based on the trailers.

Which ninja?
Wasn't one of the ninjas bad? Not in the stupid movies, but the cartoons. Stormshadow? THEY ALL COVERED THEIR FACES
Well, helmets cover heads, not faces, Ruddo. So what exactly is your beef here? Masks? Or helmets?
Just hiding faces in general, like Darth Vader Jr. in the new movie. Just because you worship Vader doesn't mean you can't show your face. YOU DIDN'T HAVE OBI WAN MESS YOUR FACE UP TOO.
How else are we to know the guy is a villain if not for a mask/helmet deal, Ruddo? Use your brain.

Nobody remembers him, Ruddo. Know why? NO HELMET

I predict that I will like The Phantom Menace more than The Force Awakens. Possibly also Attack of the Clones.

Probably. But you hate Abrams. So.... not that surprising, really.

Will I ever be able to forgive him for the brutal sexual assault he committed on my beloved
Star Trek? How does someone move on from that kind of trauma? How do I forgive the one who hurt me? It's going to take a lot of time to heal, Joey.

I can't help you, friend. I thought his Star Trek was the tits. Maybe PM McParadigm. He seems to hate all things JJ more than any rational human being should.

Whatever, you hate him and you know it. Stop acting like a wounded animal here. What I've said isn't absurd. Whatever credit you've given him has been buried beneath mountains of disdain for his style and shortcomings. It's fine if you don't generally care for the guys work. Just don't try to play both sides, mang.

On the flipside of this, I think there's a very real chance
Rogue One could either equal or surpass the OT in my mind.
