That droid looked like a cardboard box on top of a soccer ball, so that's a practical effect

I am wondering if it was real, which means it wasn't very good. But I was happy when I saw an X-wing and the falcon and other star warsy things

Looks like a wannabe Jedi/Sith has attempted to make a lightsaber..and sorta got it right...doesnt have the right start up sound and looks more like flame than light...

After a few more views, the sound of the VO and the actual words spoken are, well, yikes.

Some of the scenes looked super legit and other slooked like your standard issue video game pretending to be a movie bullshit.

The lightsaber flame is kind of dumb. The storm troopers looked great and the X Wings were badass.

That being said - I wonder how much of the movie is actually put together or if that is the only piece of the movie that has been edited or even worked with

Blizzard's cut-scenes are better than this teaser.

Agreed. This wouldn't make me want to see the film if I already wasn't super excited.

As someone who doesn't give a shit about Star Wars, I thought that looked pretty cool.
