New "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" Teaser Trailer Debuts

[PretenderNX01]

no frakking Love Triangle or Square or any such bs.

Especially if it's with your own sister

"That was so wrong"

[Sacred Knight]

Wow. That. Was. Awesome.

I didn't think my 34 year old self would be able to be amped up for a new Star Wars film like my 18 year old self was so long ago, but I'm starting to get there.

And OMG Anakin/Luke's lightsaber is back!

[teej]

I know. That was my reaction too.

I'm turning 43 next month...way too old to be making noises like that in public.

Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

That makes three of us then. I didn't even know I was still capable of making a noise like that. An absolutely stunning teaser.

Han still has his iconic grin!

[BeastieRunner]

Why does Luke have a robotic hand? All of a sudden they lost the tech from previous movies?

Could be a plot point, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Maybe he lost his old hand or the fake skin gets burned off. Who knows? Well, JJ does.

Maybe a plot point but the hand has been a symbol for, "This is what you could become." So it would make sense to me that Luke wants to be reminded of the time he almost turned to the Dark Side.

Maybe it's not even Luke's hand.

[BeastieRunner]

Maybe it's not even Luke's hand.

Oh please ... how many guys in Jedi robes lose their right hand and hang out with R2 in Star Wars? Just Luke and Anakin (who is dead). If it's not Luke in that scene ... that would be weird.

Everything that looked connected to the original series was powerful. The new stuff I couldn't care less about. Better than the teaser which was just fanboy tripe. My interest level increased a little.

[Sacred Knight]

Probably the most likely explanation is Luke went hermit like Ben, and its a representation of his more "rustic" life, in Star Wars terms. Doesn't have the perks anymore of the cosmetic effects of the prosthetic. I expect strong Obi-Wan parallels all around with Luke, in fact. Quite possibly even in regards to death.

I am so geeking out over this as December can't arrive fast enough. Welcome home, Han and Chewie, indeed!

BTW, in case some of you don't know, the BB-8 droid, who I like to call "Soccer2-D2?" It's an actual workable prop, not CGI:

This trailer was actually nice. Although the "This Christmas" looks oddly out of place, like something you would see in a fan trailer.

[gwangung]

Heh, I know the odds are stacked in favor of them getting paired.

Actually.....we're not exactly sure WHO is getting paired with WHOM, are we?

Wouldn't mind getting a surprise there....

I'd known it was an actual prop, but seeing it live it really is an impressive one

[The Celtic Batman]

Justice. Dare I say.... The Dawn of Justice.

[Pharozonk]

Why is Vader's helmet still around? I would have thought Luke burned it with the rest of his father's body at the end of Return of the Jedi.

As for the actual trailer itself, it's pretty mediocre, though the final shot did bring a smile to my face. I'm still cautiously interested to see how this turns out.

Obvious answer is a analog of the Force Tree in EMPIRE....
