Star Wars: The Force Awakens

With the official trailer out now, and the film poised to possibly break box office records, I figured this deserves its own thread.

The final trailer gave me chills, especially when the music from the end of The Empire Strikes Back played during the Millennium Falcon chase scene.

I'm thinking it being a holiday movie might actually be an advantage for it, because there is so much competition during summer. I could see a $250M opening weekend, everyone is going to want to see it in IMAX if they can afford it.

I mean if Jurassic World made $208M, I think The Force Awakens should beat that.

Jurassic World had a $525M worldwide opening weekend, so $600M isn't impossible.

Also, Lucasfilm/Disney has done a good job making sure spoilers are kept under wraps, for example, we know it is likely that Luke or Han will die, but we don't know which one. We also know Han and Leia are both in the movie, but we don't know if they are in a relationship/married.

I don't know, Han has already had himself frozen in carbonite. Also, Harrison Ford is nine years older than Mark Hamill.
