I'll ask again, what am I extrapolating? All I am doing is asking questions and commenting on the look of what is actually in the preview.

EDIT, and yeah, I thought the little soccer ball bouncing along with an R2-D2 head looked genuinely funny. As in, "that's pretty fucking funny" not "look at that stupid shit."

This very short teaser looks like a fun movie. Could it suck? Sure it could. But I'm already seeing things that look more like this is going to get it right, at least visually.

Look at the X-Wing shot. That is real background plate photography of a body of water, mountains and fog. It looks real. That's really all I hope to get out of this, some decent acting and a world that feels like it really exists.

But I guess if it doesn't look like a cartoon with thousands of CGI character armies battling it out then some folks are going to be dissapointed.

Or not. Shit, I dunno.

OldBoy

that looked good.

ITT: So much hyperbole. I'll bet half you guys said the same shit about the PT trailers looking awesome.

As a teaser, it's decent. I don't consider the Falcon a money shot worth getting worked up over. Now, had they shown flash-cut glimpses of the original three, then we'd have some legit hype.

BrewCrew

It is a teaser that didn't reveal much of anything, since Spaceballs seems popular today I'll say you can't extrapolate shit from it.

I still suspect we'll get an extended teaser on Dec. 18th...or perhaps a second teaser. The first full trailer probably won't arrive until April (Star Wars Celebration).

banthafett

Liked it, besides the ridiculous looking speeder bike.

Gonna be a long year.

Timber

I came...

Loved every single second of it. Even if the hilt on the saber makes no sense the actual blade itself looks like a light saber should have actually looked like for all these years. Not a single smooth beam of light which never made any sense.

Being a bitter-ass motherfucker about the OOT, I tried very hard to dislike this teaser. I couldn't. When the Falcon came on, I smiled. I didn't want to, but I did. Ah.

stvn1974

Even my brother who doesn't give a rats ass about Star Wars went "whoa" when the Falcon shot came on.

Strevlac

You sure are extrapolating a lot from this teaser!

Chrisedge

I loved it. Loved the XWings and the Falcon. Liked that we got only new characters. Great teaser.

Matthew Chmiel

The reason Michael Arndt was fired by Abrams "left the project" was due to this specific reason. Arndt wanted to focus on the new characters, Abrams wanted "one last run" with the original cast.

Abrams is smart not to show off the original cast in the teaser.

at first I thought that ball was part of the droid (i.e. how he got around) but upon second viewing it seems you folks are right. Its a roomba on a soccer ball.

I'm not sure if I like the rectangular-shaped antenna dish on the Falcon. Maybe a tie fighter will shoot it off and we can go back to the round one

asianxcore

Loved it!

Mountain Biker

I loved it. The shot of the X-wings gave me chills.

SmackDaddy

Nope! I heard it the first time through since I listened to it on my headphones. It's far in the background, but still audible. Maybe being chased?

After listening to it several times now, I'm convinced Smaug must have entered a portal in Middle Earth and got transported to a galaxy far, far away...

My Other Self

It was alright. Didn't expect much from a teaser, but a shot or two of the original cast would've been nice.

I did like the fact that it seems to be going more along the lines of the OOT, by not including actual "Episode xxx" for the title. Just hope this turns out the way I'd like it to. Can't wait for the actual trailer.

OldBoy

it did sound like Benedict Cumberpatch.

DthRdrX

The cast seemed fine.

Some things seemed odd though, like all the ships flying around Tatooine. I hope the movie doesn't stay there for too long. You think a planet comprised of sand would have gotten old by now. I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere .... o wait, sorry!

Mountain Biker

Yeah I heard it too.

Sorraffy

oh maybe Lando will pilot it again and knock that one off as well ...

lopper

Word I'm hearing is that it's more likely Andy Serkis doing the VO. I could buy that.

And I loved just about everything in that trailer, goofy droid and all. It's new. It's Star Wars. It's official.

That's all I need.

Why So Blu?

The broadsword light saber was cool but how the fuck would you keep it from shaving your thumbs right off? I know it's fantasy but functionality plays a part. Are we sure Lucas didn't consult on this project?

DthRdrX

It's long as hell too. I'm wondering if that is some kind of ancient Sith.
