As I've said before, all that I really know about this, as I'm trying not to get too invested, is that Mark Hamill is playing Luke Skywalker again.  It's difficult to express how awesome that is.  I really hope they take full advantage of that fact.

From what I'm hearing of what they're going to do, I don't know how audiences will react... but it will be interesting to see.

I want to get excited for this, but I'm not really a fan of JJ Abrams for the most part, and we've been burned before....

I'm attempting to avoid the hype and more importantly the Fandom Menace. I'll just quietly slip in a theater when it plays and then never discuss it with anyone after that. Much better that way.

Lmao!

So far, not impressed. I'm just hoping that this isn't as bad as the last set of films.

Looks pretty sweet to me.
I apologize in advance for everything I say on here. I regret it immediately after clicking post.

Finally watched it. I'm not going to say the idea that a new Star Wars nor the details thus far aren't exciting whether that's in a giddy or apprehensive way, but just of the trailer itself I'm pretty much not having a reaction since there really isn't anything there. It looks more like a couple test footage scenes slapped together for a demo than an official trailer. I'll be glad to see one that's a little more full.

Hard to get too excited about the teaser, because it is just that, a teaser. Doesn't give you anything to go about the story or characters, but the imagery is promisng. The new trooper designs, broadsword lightsaber, and the flight of the Falcon look nice.

Hoping for the best with this project.

Personally, I can't get past the broadsword lightsabre.  Lightsabers were already as cool as possible in the first films, apparently, because all of these unique "kewl" ones in the prequels and now the sequels just seem like they're trying too hard. 

Maybe we can get this in the next sequel:  http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/star-wars-7-lightsaber-memes-sith-army-knife.jpg

As I'm sure this has been heavily viewed several hundred times already, I do have to say I, like many of you must have several questions:

Spoiler
Where's Luke?  I mean I know we might have seen his hand, but he's not on the poster, he does have a leading role, and he did do a voice over... but was he talking to Finn... or Kylo Ren?  Apparently there is a rumor going around that he is indeed Kylo Ren, which might be a little impossible.  That said, his absence is noticeable.  Speaking of noticing, not sure how many noticed that Finn has Luke/Anakin's lightsaber.

Either way, I am looking forward to it.  As are the record breaking IMAX ticket buyers when it went on sale yesterday.  Kudos to Disney.

The word I've heard from a while now, is that he's only appear in the last few seconds of the movie.  He's just a cameo, basically, leading into a bigger role for the next movie.  The other characters are spending the whole movie trying to get his lightsaber back to him and only succeed at the end.

This may or may not be true, of course.

I've heard that rumour too, and if it is, I will freak out - and not in a good way.  JJ Abrams is already on notice for what he did to Star Trek.

Actually... I really liked Star Trek.  Yeah this is coming from at best a casual fan, but those were some really good movies I'd say.  Which is why I have high ecpectations for this.

Spoiler
I'm not sure I can go as far as Cat is going. I doubt he'd receive top billing for what amounts to a cameo.  Though I guess it's possible.  And Adam Driver is Kylo Ren.  Andy Serkis is HIS master.  Even the last shot with him about to wail on Finn, it's noticeably Driver's hair and figure.  Definitely not a 60 year old short man.  That said, I'm almost positive SOMETHING happens to Luke Skywalker.  He's missing, he's found, he dies.  He turns to the Dark Side.  He turns from the Dark Side.  Something.  He doesn't share the story with the other characters.

It could be a large dose of nostalgia, but that was the greatest movie trailer I have ever seen! Goosebumps! Frickin' goosebumps! :thumbup:

The trailer really didn't excite me.  I'm going to go see it, but I guess I've seen so much hype for it and reading the comics, I'm kind of numb to it now.

All I keep saying is that the Phantom Menace had great trailers too.  I haven't drunk the Kool-Aid on this one yet.

Love the new Star Wars trailer. It did in fact give me the goosebumps. Definitely looking forward to this one.

What about Leia? Shouldn't she be just as powerful in the force as Luke?

Depends on if she's been training over the last so many years or not.  She has, in theory, the same raw force power, but untrained it wouldn't really mean anything.

In the EU, she never trained as much as Luke, focusing more on diplomacy.

I was very neutral, due to Abrams' "edgy" Star Trek, but I saw Han standing there with Chewy behind him, and I was home.

International trailer.It still doesnt really sit right with me.Cant really say why.
Is it just me,or is Kylo Ren modeled after Revan?

Early critic reviews are in and they are overwhelmingly positive.  It seems like a large number of critics and ranking it as the 3rd best in the franchise, and just about all seems to compare it to the original trilogy rather than the prequels.

Sounds like we may be in for a treat.
