The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

So, not that much there, but still awesome. Something about seeing X-wings, TIEs and the Falcon in awesome up to date CGI is just brilliant, and as ever, that music just promises something epic is coming.
Not sure about the 3-bladed saber, seems like it could be rather difficult to use without Vadering one's own arm off, but I'm sure they'll work around it...

Blades are short enough that shouldn't be an issue. I think it's more to protect from a "slide down the opponent's blade and cut an arm off", ala Obi-Wan defeating Grievous in Ep. III.
Rollerball droid is what I can't get past for some reason.
Rest of the trailer has me pretty hyped, but I'm also a bit hesitant at the shaky cam and flashy part with the stormtroopers. If they're just there for the teaser that's all well and good. I'm not a fan of their use in actual film though.
One thing I'm trying to remember is if the snowspeeders on Hoth kicked up snow the way the X-Wings are kicking up the sand on Tatooine. I mean, there are a plethora of ways to explain the difference, but I'm struggling to remember Star Wars repulsor engines actually kicking up debris.

hmm yeh... definitely feels like a next gen for star wars.
Also that lightsaber?? why with the two little sabres on the side? that is not practical in anyway!
Because anything about WIDE ARCING SLASHES WITH THE INSTANT CUTTING WEAPON makes sense.
I mean, if we want to get into Practicality, every single Jedi needs to take up Fencing instead of those Jedi Weapon Masteries, because those F-ing suck.
Rollerball droid is what I can't get past for some reason.
Agreed, Rollerball Droid kinda pulled me out of it, though the speeder looked kinda funky too. Not like "That's terrible looking" funky, but more..... "Blech".
Crusader Lightsaber was pretty BA, I'm not going to lie.

I think your quote is broken, I didn't comment on the droid.
Thinking about it more, the saber has grown on me, I think it will necessitate a rather different fighting style than what we've seen before. Will be interesting to find out, in any case.

Don't care what anybody else... I'm 46 and I can't wait for it. If the original was made today it would be picked apart, so meh.
Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

Sorry, fixed it.
I hope so. Star Wars has always been my second favorite Sci-Fi show, after Firefly. Mystical Space Samurai, as cool as they are, just can't compete with Space Cowboys.

It's only been hyped for about an hour, and yet already I think I was expecting a little too much when I got around to watching it.
It told us nothing except "it'll be pretty", and to be honest, I'm not going to go to the cinema purely to admire the CGI. If I want to get a migraine then I want to at least enjoy the characters and story.
The opening was more like that of a comedy film, personally, or something light-hearted.
The football droid was a bit laughable, and the slab-speeder was very "...why?", but the blade-guard saber--although impractical--was a bit cooler than I expected it to be from people's comments.
Overall, I think it was personally a weak trailer, relying on how pretty everything looks rather than what's actually in the damn film.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I remember not long ago reading the poster that came with the new Star Wars fact file magazine and on it was a Sith timeline and it went back a very long way. A Claymore lightsaber is no more strange than some of the weird weapons that that have sprung up in our. I've got a DK arms book which as a halberd that has 3 inbuilt musket barrels!!!

The lightsaber is dead cool in my opinion. I like it when they bring in new lightsabers, like Mauls double-bladed one, Dookus bent one and Windus purple one.
An exception may or may not be Yodas short one...

While previous lightsabers where katanas, this new one could be considered a broadswords.
Hell, there have been Tonfa lightsabers ad Nunchuck lightsabers, and people are worrie about this?
