That shot of the falcon has me extremely excited!
I've always felt that George Lucas lacked a certain level of excitement in his shooting of action scenes.
In one of the extra discs in the blu-ray set of the six movies, there is a feature of Spielberg learning to use the software Lucasfilm was using. He shot his version of the Obi-Wan/Grievous fight, and it was so dynamic and exciting. That really cemented to me how important a director is to a movie. I've always imagined the jedi and space battles to be so much more than what we've seen on the screen
I'm excited to see what JJ Abrams will do.
