Alleged rundown of the second trailer, which could be attached to Age of Ultron:
http://www.starwars7news.com/2015/03...trailer-2.html
Curious that almost every detail mentioned here was included in the spoiler reports MSW have posted in the last couple of weeks. Makes me suspect someone might have made up this trailer description after reading them. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

^ MakingStarWars says the description is fake (posted on TheForce.net boards). Oh, well... move along.

Well that's a letdown. It sounded like it could be pretty legitimate and like it would have been amazing.

Well, I'm not very excited about the idea that Hamill is only in a few minutes of the movie and another OT cast member may only be in THIS movie, if you know what I mean. 
Both aren't bad ideas dramatically, but both kind of ruin the reason a lot of us are excited about the film in the first place (to see the OT cast in action TOGETHER one last time).

No, but the original characters could easily be used as a storytelling crutch instead of exploring new characters and themes.

Also bear in mind that we do need more diversity out of what seems like a normally white male dominated cast.
Having the OT cast in but also have new demographical additions is good too. One thing I loved about the teaser is that it showed only some of the new cast additions.

Other than Billy D. (put in to satisfy complaints about the first movie being whiter than a Klan rally) and Samuel L. (put in because he was a huge star who begged to be in the films), the only people of color present are spear-carriers.
Unless you want to count Jar-Jar as black and the Trade Federation as Asians, which I'll admit is a perfectly reasonable reading of Lucas's oh-so enlightened view of the world.

At the same time though a lot of the hype for this film and luring back in old fans is due to the prospect of seeing the original cast together again one final time. I've never expected them to have big roles other than in this film and thought they'd basically be used as a way to introduce new characters while satisfying Original Trilogy fans and with exception to Luke the originals would have smaller parts in the following sequels. I think if the original cast is relegated to little more than cameos a bunch of fans are going to be disappointed and I can't say I'd blame them.

Well based on the early rumors (I stopped reading the latest round, though I generally know what they were) - we have a large role for Solo, supporting scenes cutting back to Leia.. and the hope of Luke playing a larger role in 8-9. (and in all likelihood, being a force ghost after that) Definitely more than cameos.

I just want good movies. I'm not even a SW fan. I am a fan of the universe and the potential for it but the franchise has shown very little quality in its exposure to me from various formats. I just give a damn for SW, ESB, and (somewhat enjoy) RoTJ. Out of that it's probably a handful of video games over the span of 20 years. I just want good movies set in this world and hold no personal attachment to the franchise.

I grew up with the OT so I have a personal attachment and love all three equelly, even Return Of The Jedi. I fully expect the movie to be awful but I am hoping for Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness awful and not Star Wars Prequels awful.

Just pointing out though that a pretty big selling point of this film has been that the original cast will be in it. For me I want to see the universe expanded too but I want this film to deliver on what we were led to believe and give us one last good story for the original cast and move forward from there. Nostalgia isn't so much of a factor for me as I had given up on the franchise long ago after Lucas bastardized it, but now I'm hopeful for what we might get with him out of the picture.

I think they've been holding off on the reveals in general though. The only character we got a good look at is Boyega, and even him we only saw out of context and don't know much about his character. We didn't see many other characters at all in the trailer really. It seems like you're a bit too willing to just write off the significance of the original cast being in this film. I think it's pretty huge as most people never expected it to happen after such a long time.
