Of course. Who saw Luke or Obi Wan doing Jedi-y stuff at all during the first three movies? Either people who barely survived disasters, gangsters, people who had been through trauma. Tarkin and the boys were even taunting Vader at the beginning of Star Wars, so even educated people who had traveled around the universe were skeptical.

You're right, but you get so used to seeing the story through the eyes of people in the know that you forget. I love that angle.



And it's amazing that none of these trailers actually mention the plot. They do a ridiculously amazing job of (re)capturing the feel of Star Wars but I can still go into the film largely not knowing what's going to happen

We hear another character that sounds an awful lot like Lupita Nyong’o during this montage, saying, “The Force, it’s calling to you. Just let it in.” Could it be that Lupita’s motion-captured character is our new Yoda, providing guidance to the new generation of Jedi?

A Stormtrooper who turns from the Dark Side, a desert scavenger with an unexpected destiny, and plenty of Han Solo: At long last, the first full-length Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer has arrived. (Watch it above!) The trailer, which premiered tonight on Disney-owned ESPN during Monday Night Football, gave fans the most in-depth look yet at J.J. Abrams’s film, the seventh in the Star Wars franchise. In addition to some breathtaking action scenes, the new trailer offers us a glimpse at the villainous plan of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) to follow in Darth Vader’s footsteps; Rey (Daisy Ridley) and the revelation that she holds the power of the Force; and the transformation of Finn (John Boyega) from First Order soldier to rebel.
