I'll take an atmospheric shot of a snowy forest at night over some tacky CGI meant to stroke nostalgia any day.

that's all
That's called being a fanboy, dime. I love SW and I think it's great that more are being made, but I'm not going to be blindly, uncritically excited for it just because.

For what it's worth, Star Wars means nothing to me, so the Millennium Falcon didn't really inspire anything.

Its amazing to me how important music and sound effects are to Star Wars. Just hearing the score and those wailing TIE fighters gives me goosebumps, and I'm not even a big fan.
I've just finished Empire, and am now on Endor in Jedi..a lot of the segues and cut-to's in these films are slapdash..they want the viewer to make huge leaps of faith and those are natural for the most part. And that is what makes it. Lucas won with his dream to make them like old time Flash Gordon type adventures.
Also realising that the score plays such a huge part in storytelling in the original trilogy. Giving cues into the mood and helping establish setups..especially on Dagobah, and all over Jedi.
you know, a lot of that trailer reminds me a bit of the concept art from the original trilogy.
And that opening storm trooper thing still isn't doing it for me. It's not the concept. it just looks a bit overacted. The way his head just pops into frame, the heavy breathing, the super dramatic note on the score. I'm sure the scene is fine in the film, but it doesn't work for me here.
