Overall that was a good first impression. Lightsaber really struck out as the only really negative aspect.

Yeah, he hunkers over like he knows he's in for some shit.
edit: And while it's honestly a pretty cool move to have everything in this teaser more grounded (not a single shot of space in the whole thing) it's probably more to do with the fact they just finished filming about a month ago and what shots we do have were probably being worked on about a month before that specifically to stick 'em in this trailer.
I'm sure we're going to get more interesting locales and outer-space pew pew

Well that looked completely stupid.

I really love the idea of the stormtrooper as the lead. But the title of the movie is "The Force Awakens" and immediately the emphasis in the trailer shifts to darkside/lightside stuff.
All this trailer did was scream "Look! It's more Star Wars!" and that might be good enough for some, but to me it means nothing but profitable iconography.
Lucasfilm animation you mean. Disney doesn't take part in this stuff. They are fairly hands off like they are with Marvel.
Those look like shit, fuzzy and terrible digital effects. Every shot in this teaser looks better than anything in the prequels.
Looks similar to this:
it totally doesn't, apart from the part we see being long and stick-shaped
It was fine. I'm not sure what people were expecting from a teaser trailer that's under 90 seconds long but it was solid enough.
The X-Wings speeding along the water was awesome and it hit all the franchise iconography that would keep the 'neck beard' fans clapping like seals.
I still can't muster any enthusiasm for this and it may not be until I'm actually sitting down to watch it next Xmas that it really kicks in for me. But it was fine.
In saying that I feel like Spader's Ultron vocal performance in the Avengers 2 teaser trailer may just be the pinnacle of trailer teasing going forward.

The Empire controlled an entire galaxy and was filthy rich. They had a hierarchy. It isn't that hard to figure out why the war is still going on.

I can listen to this trailer just for the sounds.
That soundtrack.
That tie fighter sound.
The sounds in Star Wars are the best of any movie in history.

You don't have to be the worst actor in the world to still be a bad actor.
it looks unnecessarely different from clone wars in terms of character design tho, hence why I figured

FWIW, modern militaries are still using 40 year-old bombers.
The F-14 Tomcat, for example, was in use for over 30 years by the US before being retired in favor of more advanced versions of the F/A 18 Super Hornet. Point being it's entirely normal for well-designed military machines that have proven their worth to remain in service for a long time.
Considering how badly damaged the Empire was over the course of the original trilogy, there's no reason to assume that they'd retire their bread & butter fighters. They're cheap, efficient, and always got the job done. I'm sure we'll see some Tie Advanced-caliber fighters sooner or later. If not in Episode 7, maybe 8 or 9.
Does that kid seriously have a lightcatapult?
Yeah, he hunkers over like he knows he's in for some shit.

to be totally honest i'd be fine with like.. A space setpiece. save that for future films, I want my small-ass character driven adventure scope please
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
Well....it was fun, but underwhelming, even for a first look.
Some iconic moments, sure, but nothing 'wow'd me.

Not getting the hate towards anything. Lightsaber looks rad, droid is adorable and we know nothing about it, we know literally nothing about the story or writing, I just know that it FEELS like Star Wars. I am so optimistic and this comes from somebody who was burned so badly by the prequels as a kid.
Gonna go watch the trailer with my fam now, see you guys later.

Not bad. Not bad at all.
One might even call it a slingshot...
But yeah, that kid sucks. Rest of the cast is fine.

Yeah reminded me of that bit too but I dont remember it being so..crazy. So JJ Abrams.
I'm sure someone else has already thought of this, but maybe the crossguards are like exhaust ports. The blade itself looks pretty fucky, as others have mentioned. We see it strobing and crackling, whereas every other light saber we've seen is sexy and smooth. Maybe this is some POS saber Driver cobbled together, and the crossguards exhaughst unstable energy from the blade.
Or maybe it just looks cool.

I love Pokken!
And now i want a Magnum, damn you strafer.
Without the ignited hilt:
Looks much better that way, the hilt actually becomes unique.

It's a sling shot. Pretty cool but really ineffective.

Those screens look like 90s gaming CG.
Abrams' Star Trek and Star Wars looks better.

The other day I gave my 5 year old nephew my copy of Attack of the Clones DVD.

Yeah thats where im at. I wanted some wow factor. I felt other SW teasers teased a bit more and interested me.
I am expecting this to be better than the PT for sure lol.
while true, i still stand with it not being Christensen's fault that Anakin Skywalker in Episode 2 and 3 was an obnoxious character and couldn't carry the "hero turned villain" arc Lucas was hoping for.
The "hero" thing died when Anakin committed Sandpeople genocide (he killed their women and children), way before Lucas meant for him to be "corrupted".

Why is anyone trying to figure out the practicality of the Siths lightsaber.....
We are talking about a Universe that has god damned space magic, talking teddy bears, and aliens that look like Muppets.
The saber has the hilts because it looks cool. That is all.

I wonder if the saber hilt is some sorta venting because of its unstable look.

I'm with you.
I just want a couple dogfights. That's it. It looks like I'm getting at least one.

You make alot of good points. I just want to see some advancements with the Empire, I mean it's been 30 years. I hope they take alot of the TIE designs from the Expanded Universe. I'm just happy, because I've been craving a new Star Wars movie since the Prequels, and The Clone Wars tv show.
This is the thing i hate about new movies. look at the face. she is supposed to be in desert but face is all clean no dust no sweat nothing . it look to artificial

I too would like a slightly changed TIE fighter.
The X wing got some changes while remaining faithful. The storm troopers got the same treatment. Even the Falcon has the square dish now that visually identifies it as the ep7 Falcon.
I'd like similar treatment for the TIE fighter. As far as I can tell they look the same. Having a visual read that tells me "this is an ep7 TIE" would be nice. Just a small little change would do it. A different texture/strut layout on the "wing" surfaces?
Most of the time fans are clamoring for movies to be more faithful to the source material, but this appears to be so faithful to Star Wars design that I actually am totally okay with more changes!
