Eh . . . I'm sure it will look great on film, but right now it looks like all the countless book and comic covers out there.

Is this Star Wars Celebration or a hip hop show?

This is worse than Jedi Rocks.

Confirmed: Desert planet is NOT Tatooine. It's called Jakku.

BB-8 looks amazing. They are gonna sell a million toys of that little droid.

Wow. That just went a long way in selling fans on that droid.

Boyega has a great personality and Ridley looks amazing. Mark appears much healthier... the diet and exercise clearly did him good.

Mayhew still has trouble walking without assistance. Wonder how much time he was able to spend in the Chewie suit during filming?

Nice to see more footage but that was kind of a boring teaser. I liked the previous one better.

That was a great show. Very cool of them to live stream this.

As for the trailer, it was ok. But I'll need the shot-by-shot explanation from slashfilm or something.

All of Hamill's lines from Jedi sound newly recorded (or alternate takes from old ADR sessions). The "family" speech clearly implies at least one of the new castmembers is an OT offspring.

I think the thing that kills the impact of the teaser is the ending of it. It's just...there. Everything else is fine and dandy but then Han and Chewie are just there standing w/ a line that comes off hokey to me out of context of the film.

Chewie looked a little "off" to me (especially around the eyes) but I realize it's next to impossible to recreate the original exactly.

I loved it. Feel 10 years old again.

The shot of the downed Star Destroyer was only bettered by the shot of Vader's helmet which was bettered by Han and Chewie.

I would trade of of your souls for it to be Dec 18.
