Definitely made me feel a lot better about this film! I think we'll get the final full trailer in Oct, for the start of pre-sales, just like TFA. I'm sure than we'll see more of Vader and perhaps a line, but the tease here was great.
How cool would it have been if that was Vader's Tie at the end?

When this was first announced I thought it was a terrible idea, filling in every last detail of the OT story till there was no mystery left, but I'll be damned if that trailer doesn't look fantastic. I just hope the movie is as good as that looks, because I'd be happy to watch that as a prequel to A New Hope.

I actually think this will be a very good SW and most fans will enjoy (the nitpickers will complain, but that's the internet). I will say that people need to temper their expectations because I don't think it will blow people away as this great movie. I'll enjoy it the same way I did with TFA, it will be better then the Prequels, but won't be as great as the Originals.
I will say that thank god Disney decided to get away from the CGI worlds that Lucas used in the Prequels. TFA and Rogue One just feel real to me, as the Prequels feel like one big video game.

That trailer was outstanding. It feels 'expansive'... I don't know if that's the right word but it feels like the last two movies has shown us this immersive universe that the OT and PT couldn't or wouldn't.

Edwards continues to prove he understands shot composition and scaling better than most directors. If nothing else, this will be a visual feast.

In any event - I think it looks good. I thought the teaser also looked cool but the fact that Edwards has been demoted to "consultant" should tell you that Disney didn't have faith in his vision. Yeah, it's Star Wars, but still. This was supposed to be a "war" movie installment. Now it's going to be a misfit squad type of film. The tonal shift is apparent.
I love Felicity Jones, though, and we finally get some Mexican representation in the galaxy from Diego Luna, so that helps.
Oh, and I'm also calling it right now:

Mendelsohn isn't playing Grand Moff Tarkin right? Did we have a sighting of Tarkin in the trailers?

Looks great, I'm so glad we are past the video game look of the prequels. In many ways this looks more gritty, almost like the first film.

She actually dies in the first 10 minutes. Ghostbusters haters rejoice.
