To distance itself from the shitty prequels and special editions?

It's just not George Lucas's Star Wars. There's no point in doing things the same way as before.
I am glad I did not spend the majority of my life being obsessed with Star Wars to the point where I watched that trailer and had nitpicking....
because I thought it looked amazing...
I just hope JJ doesn't read threads like these and be like
"Hmmm, well the x-wing span is off by X amount of degree's so we should really"
no....he has the vibe right, that's all that matters to me

NO

This looks like a Star Wars film that a competent director/cinematographer shot

A lightclaymore?!?!
my thoughts, as a legit star wars kid who grew up watching the original trilogy over and over and over and often dreaming of a real sequel (not a prequel):
1) comical "ball droid" has me concerned, but I'll reserve judgement
2) daisy ripley or whatever her name is looks good
3) x-wings looked good
4) Millenium Falcon looked okay, if a bit too "CG" (which is what I have come to expect) and I noticed a few differences in appearance, which I suppose is natural sincethis ship is often modified
5) the claymore lightsaber made me laugh out loud. silly.

The question is who do you guys think the bad guy is about to fight?

Knee jerk garbage.

You know, I have a feeling Andy Serkis is the Sith.

Looks surprisingly not-terrible.

For those complaining about the new saber, I dont know whether to laugh historically or cry. As far as the light saber concept itself, this design makes more sense from a real sword fighting perspective. The hilt is not simply for show. It's strategic.
Anyway. I love that the trailer feels new yet familiar. Can't wait for the full one.

This is just plain boss... period.
I love the kind of violent arm move they always make when opening a light saber... Almost like recoil.
Since you appear very certain what Star Wars is and isn't, what exactly should have been in the trailer to make it "look like Star Wars"?

Well so the guy in the Trailer is the Gravedigger. Would explain why Andy Serkis plays him because his Face must be messed up if those Artworks are true. Also he wears a Mask in the trailer if those pictures from starwarsunderworld are real.
Daughter or Son of Luke. Anything else would make no sense for the involvement of the old crew.

No, it looks thankfully excellent
Jurassic World trailer proved that you can't just get by on name/nostalgia alone... that shit was mediocre as fuck

This is the only one thing of the trailer that bothers me. It doesn't even look good, if theres one thing that didn't need to change, it was the lightsabers.

lol ok you guys got me. My main point was that I wanted to new ships for a new trilogy.
I want to go through the first 6 again but now I remember how much I hated Episode 1 - 3

I was unsure about this trailer until I saw those X-wings. Then those feels came rushing back.
Also the first shot in the trailer is a man wearing an actual stormtrooper costume. Something the prequel trilogy never managed in three movies.

I much prefer that, it feels natural at least instead of a CGI overload. The backdrop shouldn't be distracting and overly busy, should set a tone. That bad guy scene is cold, uninviting, alone.

oh yeah I remember that one.
There is no way in hell the Lightsaber sound we hear at the end isn't Luke's.

Oh come on who do you think. And I hope the sith gets his ass whooped.
I think it is indeed an IMAX scene.

But the main problem with it is that it looks silly. I didn't laugh when I first saw it because I didn't think it would do an adequate job of guarding lol.
Agreed, that was the trailers little tease for him.
I thought that was debunked after there were shots of him on set wearing
an x-wing pilots outfit

Yesss. I'm sure modern cgi troopers would look pretty good today, but the old cgi clones from the prequels have left too damaging an impression to this day.

looking forward to this
Yeah, but the Broadsword wielding Sith looking for white walkers doesn't need to be the one doing the voiceover.

That scene in the film is supposed to be the one shot in IMAX, at least according to what I just read/heard on Slashfilm.
