Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens Trailer (2015)


Wow, even though the trailer didn't show much - I'm pumped!

Actually looking forward to it tbh, will be interesting to see what JJ Abrams does with it. Hopefully it won't ruin my childhood memories of the films.

Speaking as a massive Star Wars fan who has read probably 80% of the Expanded Universe novels (it killed the 3 hour round trip on the bus back in my university days), I won't mind at all if that timeline is scrapped and consigned to a bin so long as this movie doesn't stomp all over my memories of the Classic trilogy of my childhood like Lucas did with the prequels and the 4th Indy film.

Other than that I'm mildly hyped - still only 3 great movies and 3 ok ones so far.
I'm pretty sure they only ever made 5 star wars movies.  ;)

I dont know why some people I know are loosing their s**t over this trailer. It shows pretty much nothing beside CGI.

There is no war to end all wars.

Probably because it's what the trailer represents, not what it materially shows.

Only good thing that comes from this trailer is hopefully they will push forward Battlefront 3 and not delay it any longer.

It's not what the trailer shows, what it represents that lies to you.  Don't put any faith into vertical slices of games and movies, they will show you the bits that make you salivate and want to get it, see it and then you will feel deflated overall.

Take this trailer with a grain of salt and if it is good in the end, win win, if it's not, blame JJ Abrams for screwing us over once again by killing a good Sci-Fi IP (Not the prequels though, only Ep IV-VI are good in my eyes, the others are grade A Bull, though passable as movies in their own right they are not good in the context of the series).

Err, what? I agree with you, but I don't see how it's relevant to what I said.

My point was that some people "are losing their s**t over this trailer" because of what the trailer represents (i.e. A new Star Wars film is coming - this is not a lie), not what it materially shows (i.e. not what's in the trailer - good or bad). This means that it doesn't matter what is shown in the trailer (e.g. "bits that make you salivate and want to get it"), all that matters is that it confirms/reminds that a new Star Wars is coming soon (and people are losing their s**t over that). Of course trailers should be taken with a pinch of salt, especially when they don't show very much - hence MeFirst's comment and my response.

Well it was just meant as a teaser - not a full length trailer. Regardless, I wasn't impressed - nothing in there got me hyped :|
Yeah...I'm waiting for the George Lucas special edition:
