What happens next after Return of the Jedi?

I sit here thinking a lot about Force Awakens. I have to. Star Wars is my life. I mean it transcends all things in this world to me. It's like, it's THAT monumental a thing. People have no idea what kind of shit is going to be stirred up by the return of the original star wars cast. They just don't. This movie will destroy the Box Office. Everyone from EVERY generation will flock to this film, it's going to kill us all.

Problem is that it's not going to make any sense.

I've thought long and hard about this and I just don't see it, how can they continue the story now and what exactly is the new story arc going to be about.

The loop is closed. The emperor is defeated. What else is there to say about the skywalker family if indeed this movie will be about that or a continuation of the skywalker journey.

If indeed you watch the star wars movies from the first to the last, you'll see yes it's basically about Anakin's fall and rise.

Sure the story shifts focus to luke but undeniably as it exist now, star wars is primarily about Anakin's journey. His story being finished, what the fuck is the new trilogy going to be about I wonder....

I look at the trailer and the photos and sure enough I have no fucking idea what big monumental threat the new heros are facing at all and that makes all this stuff we get from these new movies feel hollow and lifeless.

There's nothing going on. Basically this is a star wars movie about Han going to the bakery and ordering up some stuff for life day festival.

This is fucking the Holiday Special 2 isn't it... Meaningless, pointless, star wars whoring at best...

Sorry to be a negative nancy but I've lived and breathed star wars all my life. I know how lame the EU was as I tried to get into it. Either they brought back the emperor in clone form to continue that story line or they basically just detailed how exactly luke rebuilt the jedi order and the republic finished off the last bits of the empire still hanging around after they got their asses kicked.

Certain things definitely kinda worry me. But ultimately I have to say whatever because the prequels suck so hard. Getting these movies made by a star wars fan no doubt will wipe the prequels clean from all of our memories.

It's not hard to make a star wars film. Basically make it fun, it's a joy ride, it's supposed to be epic, cool, and most of all fun. The prequels forgot this, offering up this dark, super duper serious story that has its head waaay too far up its own ass for us to get into it. And nobody in the movie really seems to be having fun. Watching the originals, even if you don't care for the story, everybody in the movie's having fun and making wise cracks and that's what star wars is all about. It's a fucking adventure in space and yet there's none of that HOLY SHIT WE'RE IN SPACE AND IT'S AWESOME feel to those movies. Seriously?
