I feel that Star Wars by now has little bearing on the actual plotlines of the movies and more with the backdrop.

The basis of the whole thing is after all the Galactic Civil War, so there's your Star War.

The shot near the end with the AT-ATs bearing down is incredible. It gives a much better (than in Empire) sense of how effective a terror weapon they would be for the ants running around on the ground.

I haven't been as fanatical about the making of this movie, is that our first look at Mendelson in costume? I'm really looking forward to seeing what he does.

the common rumor for Whitaker is bounty hunter.

Sounds like he's a quasi-Yoda/Obi-Wan in the teaser. But it's a tiny snippet of dialogue so who knows.

I'm curious if they'll do like VII, and bring in some entirely new planets, or if they'll namedrop some old ones.

We haven't seen the Kuat Drive Yards in a movie, I think?

Who is the actor? That's not Mads, is it?

Yeah Ben Mendelsohn who was always rumoured to play Tarkin, but with a white uniform might not be anymore.

I do wonder how much spotlight the rest of the team is gonna get. Is she the lead with a bunch of secondaries, or are they aiming for a true ensemble here?

They could not have picked a more obnoxious alarm sound during half that trailer. And it just kept going!

I finally saw the Star Wars. It was really fun though the ending kind of felt... abrupt? to me even for a movie that's obviously meant to be part of a trilogy. Like I dunno the entire last act of the movie was good but never felt that exciting (except the fight in the snow). Also I felt like I had no reason to care about BB-8's original owner whose name I forgot

Anyway, my main point is that the best part of the movie was BB-8 gasping at Finn

It is the death star alarm, it is 'iconic' for the franchise.

I love the slight-70s feel in that trailer. The hair and makeup in particular seem to have that feel to them, like I'm watching a big budget British Sci-Fi.

Okay. It's still an annoying sound to be playing for half the trailer

I find it very reassuring that they don't forget the primtive computing visuals of the OT and just stuff these new films with hologram computer screens a la Prometheus.
