I'm expecting to enjoy it.
Disney quality control is pretty damn good. The only thing I was really concerned with was what the tone was gonna be... Looks good from the trailers, honestly. Looks far better than the prequels by virtue of not offending my eyes alone.
Bring it.

Perhaps a good way to speculate about the film would be to view the 'ultimate' trailer compilations.

I counted three distinct environments in the trailers.. Tatooine, a lush green planet that might at least be derived the location of the rebel base on Yavin 4 from A New Hope, and a snowy but forested planet. Considering some scenes of X-Wings engaging the remnant [?] forces on the forested planet one thinks it may not be Yavin but some other place like Kashyyyk, the Wookie homeworld...
I think this bodes a bit well, seems like they're not overextending themselves. Time spent in space seems to be kept to a minimum if the trailers are anything to go by, but we see the key characters engaging in wordless moments in at least the first two locations, which suggests the presence of a story...
Hmm!
BTW I detest Von Sydow's "...and the light" narration of the advert, I mean how dry and crackly can you make your voice buddy?
Also, I can only assume the new Sith has no idea what really happened to Vader, and as such is some kind of neo-Sith, a la Neo-Nazis, which might not be the most interesting backstory.

FYI, the planet is Jakku, not Tatooine. Not sure why it isn't, considering that each trilogy previously started on Tatooine, and it's a desert planet anyway, but...meh.sky pies said:
I'm guessing the forest is part of the same snow planet, while I wouldn't be surprised if the third is Yavin IV, or the movie's equivalent of it.
I expect as much as I would expect from a JJ Abrams film. Lens flares and predictable plot twists. Call me jaded, but after that abomination that was a pagan effigy of Wrath of Khan, I have no faith in Abrams at all.
As a long time Star Wars fanatic I hope and pray I'm wrong and that this movie rivals Empire or A New Hope in quality. However, until I see the actual movie itself, I'm keeping my expectations at an all time low.
