Don't watch if you're sensitive to potential spoilers, obviously

Some very interesting ideas, but their main point is

Spoiler: show

it's pretty much going to be a beat for beat remake of A New Hope

Jesus, they look exactly like the stereotypical middle-aged Star Wars fan.

Yeah, but they're the guys behind the Mr Plinkett videos. Those were fantastic.

But am I wrong?

Start with a miserable kid on a shitty desert planet.
After a space battle something falls from the sky that contains a character of some sort.
Journey/learning sequence where the kid discovers that they have a familial connection to something bigger and more significant.
A bad guy wearing black shows up.
Someone important to the kid dies at a pivotal moment.
Then they all nut up blow up a planet.

Yeah...it does have the potential to be a pretty literal mirror.

No.

Also, it's been looking like a remake for a while. Post from three weeks ago:

Other than the new scenes, I think this was a more heavy handed introduction to the movie and universe. I liked the previous trailer more.

I literally got choked up reading this.

Seriously, the emotion in that trailer... Just holding on that opening shot... and the shot of the Tie fighters flying in. You really do feel it. Amazing.

There may have been some goosebumps

I'm sorry I missed that, McP.

Same movie but different, guys. We've talked about this already.

J.J. Abrams confirms there will be a trash compactor scene in upcoming "Force Awakens".

I still liked it. I just don't think it is the huge bump up in feels that everyone else seems to. I liked the pace of the trailer, and that it was more centered on Rey, but some of the dialogue came out a little clumsy.

I'd be happy with visuals and a score and emotion and Star Wars and leave the dialogue and story for when my ass in the theatre seat.
