I want to see a movie which shows the baddies recruiting people for the Death Star.
"Three times the charm..."
"It gotta work out at one point, right?"
"If it wouldn't work, why would we try it again?"
"Trust me, I'm an expert."
"You have no lines in this movie, noone gives a flying fuck about you anyway."

That's the point. This movie is supposed to remind you why you loved the OT. That's why the stormtrooper and vehicle designs are so similar. Han, Chewie, Leia and Luke are in it. Bad guy dressed in all black with a red laser sword. Plucky kid on a desert wasteland gets swept up into a greater adventure. Sound familiar?
Episode 7 has one job:
Hit a double and get on base. No big swings for the fences where you might strike out. You hit a double, get on base and give the batters behind you (episodes 8 and 9) a chance to get hits and score.

Not as bad as Babylon 5.
It took them 5 goes to finally get a station that didn't blow up or disappear.

If you're arguing that Into Darkness hit a lot of the same beats as Star Trek 09, sure.
The other thing? Naaaaaaaah

I'm not seeing what you're seeing anywhere.
And if you're worried about spoilers, posting it (even behind tags) isn't all that helpful. Take it to the spoiler thread.

It might be a joke. Drag the image from the OP to the desktop and check what it's titled
EDIT: I'm thinking it's a joke after checking the Rey one.
EDIT EDIT: Damn. Shoulda read the first page before greedily swiping the images for my backgrounds

You guys might want to take a closer look at the poster:
Who is that alien dude next to the droids?
Was hoping to see dingleberries in his ass fur.
Maz Kanata.
The one who speaks in the latest trailer: "I see it in your eyes" stuff.

Yep. This was my concern all along.
A buddy of mine said it best: "So, the movie probably starts with a space battle, a ship lands (crashes) on a desert planet, then dissimlar characters meet, and leave the planet with an old man in the Millenium Falcon. Sound familiar?"

That it sounds familiar isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's Star Wars.
The way it actually PLAYS out is what will be interesting. And I'd imagine that both Kasdan and Abrams are banking on audience familiarity with what's "supposed" to be happening in order to subvert expectations that otherwise wouldn't exist. That's a thing they absolutely have to do in order to succeed - and it's a thing he did (with lesser quality writers, even) on Star Trek 09. He also did it to some extent on Mission Impossible III.
But then again, how it actually plays out won't be much of a concern for the sort of people more concerned with pointing out that they noticed a similarity as if the mere existence of a similarity is a cinema sin in and of itself.
Poe and Finn will clearly have some friendship/bond from the beginning. Maybe a rescue or soemthing idk.
Man, it's so hard not to get so hyped. But look at how badass Rey looks!
Edit: At the same time so many rehashed steps here. I can't help but be a little put off by how familiar this will all feel. Although maybe that's just Abrams and crew keeping shit behind the curtain. Drawing us in with what we know. Remains to be seen.

Which expectations were subverted?

Haha, no worries. There are going to be a few motion capture characters, so it will be interesting to see how they hold up.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
I've been jokingly insisting that SW7 will double down on enraging bigots by having Finn and Poe be the romance of the film but some of these photos are making me want the dream to be reality.

The second pose looks like what someone with a broken hip would like like trying to emulate the first pose.
Kasdan and Ford wanted Han to die in ROTJ, so as soon as they announced who was doing this movie I was prepared for it to happen. I haven't read any spoilers but it seems logical for the story.
I'm not actively seeking out spoilers at all, but just from the trailers, pre-release hype "news" stories about the movie, even toys, etc, I feel like I know 90% of the plot already. I'm not really a spoilerphobe at all but damn. It's basically impossible to use the internet and stay fresh for this movie on release day.
