let's keep in mind that the movie's title was just announced, so there's kind of a reason to play the name game right now, especially when the new names are directly mocking the announced title. your assertion seems forced, mcp. let's all agree that your post was a 2/10 and just move on.

Lads,

maybe it's a slight, both on Lucas and the prequels...

The force was missing, now it's back, sit down and we'll blow your head off

I have such a nerd-on right now...
Spoiler: show
"..it'll be short. And when I say short, I mean one minute long. It's going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black. There's no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full orchestral piece - perhaps what John Williams recorded this weekend? - and we hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley's, saying "Wake up."And then the title card appears - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - and we see the Millennium Falcon, firing blasters, coming right at the camera. "

Next, Jason Ward from Making Star Wars posted a more detailed description of the trailer per information from one of his sources.

Fade in from black, shots of the dunes, Boyega pops in to the shot from below. He’s wearing white Stormtrooper armor but he doesn’t have a helmet on.
In the teaser we only see Boyega and Ridley really.
Ridley boards a speeder.
She has a helmet on like Endor Leia, a design with pop-down goggles.
A shot of Ridley’s speeder approaching the station (the TMZ set we saw).
We see the new Stormtroopers on a transport. The flight is turbulent.
New X-wings.
TIE Fighters.
The new ball droid that’s a gyroscope and belongs to “Kira.”
The new “Sith” is also revealed. He has a cross-beam lightsaber and the beam is a bit wilder and more super-charged than your normal lightsaber.
The Falcon.

People are seriously transcribing trailers before they're released now? This is too much, my god.

I have to agree.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Boy how exciting it will be to see several seconds worth of unrevealing footage that happens to include some things we know from our childhoods.

I hope space makes an appearance!!!!

I hope one of the characters says, "This certainly is some star wars".

I would probably go see this movie if that happened.

given the precept of opposites attracting, it's odd that mcparadigm and whitey haven't posted together more often
