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.

Gotta admit, this has me more excited than I thought I'd be. That shot of the buried star destroyer is what did it for me. I think breaking away from Lucas and the EU was an incredibly smart move on their part.
So freaking excited. I can't contain it. This dropping tonight made the whole no-sleep-for-two-days-because-feth-you-assignment-and-work worth it. Because I was awake to see it straight away
I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

I'm work-blocked so I can't see this. I would appreciate if someone would describe it to me. Use big words and write out the sound effects, like "snap-hissss" for when a lightsaber fires up.

I think I must be the only person who did not like seeing decrepit Solo. That was just painful. I really wish they had made a clean break in terms of characters and actors.
Everything else looks great and exciting. But then, so did the Phantom Menace trailers...

Indeed. I'm going to have to hear from people who have seen the whole thing (that I trust) and say it is good before I get to excited. Those last three had good trailers but were incredibly painful to watch. Hopefully this diverges from that but once bitten and all that.

Tatooine theme song plays as the camera pans over a desert. You can see a small speeder zipping along the base of some dunes. A crashed X-wing is seen in the foreground. As the camera pans right you suddenly see a crashed Star Destroyer in the background. Screen goes black.
"The Force is Strong in my Family"- Luke
Image of Vader's melted helmet and his breathing. Screen goes black.
"My Father has it"- Luke
Hooded figure kneels next to R2 in front of maybe some lava. Extends a prosthetic hand to touch R2's head. Screen goes dark.
"I have it"-Luke
We see a small alien hand extending a lightsabre. A female hand takes it.
"My sister has it" - Luke
Screen goes black
"You have that power too"- Luke
X-wings ZOOOOMING over a lake at high speed. Pilot screeaming "WHOOOO!"
Cross-guard sabre ignites in a dark room and is swung at the screen! ZZZZZwoooosh!

Masked and hooded figure looms in a dark and fiery scene, 'Chzzzum' ignites red light sabre and hand extended aggressively like a force choke.
Scene of dozens of stormtroopers in front of a large podium turn and face the screen in ordered ranks. Podium has a figure addressing the assembly. TENHUT!!

A battle scene with Storm Troopers in a hanger, explosions destroy parked TIEs and send troopers flying. Lasers FREEM FREEM across the screen.
Close shot of Boyega quickly removing his helmet. Intense look on face. Music is reaching maximum intensity!
Shot of a Super Star Destroyer in space, a strange black shuttle and multiple escorting ships approach it.
A shot inside a corridor. What appears to be a Storm Trooper with black chrome armor walks menacingly down the hall, a blaster in his hand and wearing a black red trimmed cape.
Ball droid peeks around a corner.
Rey looks out of breath as she extends her hand to Boyega who is on the ground and also looking very out of breath.
Millennium Falcon zips along the dunes, pursued by two Ties. It avoids the wreckage of the crashed Star Destroyer and then ENTERS THE FREAKING ENGINE! TIE continues ot fire its lazers! PEW PEW PEW It hits some super structure and there is an explosion! BOOM!
Screen goes dark. Music stops.

Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
I remember the prequel trailers being good, but not THAT good.
I certainly never got goosebumps from watching any of them (or from the films themselves), whereas this trailer just gave me my fist star wars related goosebumps since the eighties...

I remember people getting goosebumps from The Phantom Menace trailer and being very excited about it. Then the movie actually came out and there were diminishing returns from that point on.

I was 7 years old and saw the first movie in theater with my dad.
The darn thing still has a hold after all this time.
Yes, some inner geek just got terribly excited, baseball bats, mace, tasers and medication was needed.
The crashed X-wing and Star Destroyer is a fantastic image for clearly showing things have moved on.
Things have become more... shiny but definitely kept key designs of the old in uniforms and ships.
Okay, so now I have to pretend I saw nothing and I want to know as little as possible when I go to see the movie.
This has worked very well for ensuring the whole thing has proper impact... I like surprises, I think it will be safe to say it will not suck.
Looking forward to taking my kids to this one: I think this will be done the "right" way.
Seeing old Han is ok, we all sometimes need to be reminded that not all Peter Pans stay young forever.
Plus, I have found many a movie where the "old guy" handing out a serious but-kicking is incredibly awesome and sometimes funny.
