The star destroyer looks like a matte painting. It feels seemless from the original trilogy.

I noticed that too. Everything just seems so right about this. I'm going to try my best to avoid spoilers over the next several months but sneak peeks like this are going to make it tough.

Growing up I always enjoyed Star Wars, but certainly pretended to like it more than I really did because of my group of friends.

The Prequels really put a huge dent in my fandom.

Every time I've rewatched he OT since the Prequels I've noticed all the things that are cheeky and cheesy and obvious and awkward about Star Wars. Of course I still enjoy the OT. But most of it has been ruined at this point. It's just childhood nostalgia and desire to fit in. But none of them, save Empire, is a "good" movie.

But what I just saw... that trailer... holy... fucking... balls...

My imagination and my heart are reignited. That far exceeded all expectations. JJ Abrams gets it. He fucking gets it.

I can't wait for this movie. And I'm so thrilled to officially feel like a Star Wars fan again.

GOD FUCKING BLESS JJ ABRAMS!

Trailers are designed to do that. Even shitty movies can have great trailers.

No, you're totally right.

But none of the prequel trailers made me feel that.

nervous too..the glitzier the trailer, the more shambolic the film..



but fuckit...that was awesome...

the thread about Han&Chewie commanding a starship-returning to the Falcon now makes sense..

Has everyone noticed how "Episode VII" doesn't appear anywhere in the promotional material for this film? Not sure what to read into that...probably nothing, but possibly a way to distance it from the prequels.
