There is no substitute for watching Star Wars. Whip out the Blu-ray box set of the movies and watch and re-watch them. Also keep an eye out for the complete box set of The Clone Wars which is out in October. If you haven't watched the animated series yet then you are missing out on some of the best Star Wars ever made. Make it essential viewing.
So there you have it. Seven tips to get you up to speed for Star Wars VII. A bonus tip would be to attend some conventions such as Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in July 2015 and meet the stars of the movies and the podcasts mentioned above.
May The Force Be With You.
