It could be magnets, and magnetic gyro of some kind inside so it always stays 'up'.

just like the first teaser, I'm reminded of how much damn good will I have towards this franchise. I thought I had given up after the prequels.

Yea but these teaser trailers show legit promise, as well as every other source of information coming in about the film.

THe prequels dont even count as star wars. Lets be honest.

I had to explain the 30 year gap again.
this is exactly what happened to my 7 year old. his only comment after they showed Han was "why is he so old?"

But isn't 30 years to a wookie just a blip on the radar?

Then again, in the 2 years between Empire and ROTJ, they had Yoda seemingly age another 100 years and then die.
