I like those notes at the end from the Imperial March sounding like a delicate Gustavo Santaolalla theme.

Opening shot on sand dunes was very "don't worry you fanboy fucks, I'm gonna give you what you want"
Can't deny my excitement though. A whole fucking year to wait!

So does Lucas have literally nothing to do with this? I bet JJ is going to regret giving him his cell number.

I just hope with the real trailer we get something besides the obligatory 2010s trailer narration by creepy gravelly villain guy. I sorta was hoping Iron Man 3, which used the ubiquity of the convention as a springboard to pull a legitimately good twist on the audience, would mark the end of that whole thing. Ironically, the last time I can remember it actually being good was for Revenge of the Sith, where McDiarmid's delivery almost convinces you it's going to be a compelling, well-acted Star Wars movie.

side-issue but this made me laugh from the Jar Jar wiki
Jar Jar appears in only a few scenes in Revenge of the Sith, and has no dialogue (besides a brief "'scuse me" at one point). He was originally given some dialogue in the beginning, but this was cut.

Trailer has piqued interest in spite of bitter cynicism based on previous resurrection.

How is the trailer anything other than trash? Nothing of interest. Just looked like a reboot.

would have been great if jar jar's face had popped onto the screen in that first shot, Abrams should have done that just to troll everyone

i would lay a low money/high stakes bet that jar jar does a howard the duck style cameo in the post credits stinger scene for this movie

of the "lol jar jar motherfuckers" variety
would have been great if jar jar's face had popped onto screen in that first shot, but then the camera panned out to reveal that his head is no longer attached to a body and is on a spike outside the smoldering ashes of the imperial senate and then a disclaimer scrolled over that said that no george lucases were consulted in the development of this film.

sadly according to wookiepedia a Gungan's life expectancy is 65 years so Jar Jar's probably been dead for a while

Of course we can't discount the possibility that Jar Jar's position as a galactic senator gave him access to life extending technology

Over on another thread I wondered out loud how many of those had been bought by adults for sexual purposes, and a straw poll brought back the answer "quite a few".

That brings up the possibility of Jar Jar having sex with a lady Gungan and the further question of what kind of sex noises he'd make.

With current technology, they need to make a version of that dispenser that plays a sample of C-3PO saying "oh my!" whenever someone, er, pulls off a piece.

Sorry I forgot again on this board you can't not like something that's widely popular. No one asnwered my question about what was good about the trailer. Which says it all. It was trash, reboot uncreative trash. And I'm as big a SW fan as anyone here. I even liked the sequels, but this trailer offered nothing at all of interest.

Star Wars in itself is a blunt story, so maybe I'm now expecting too much. the representation of evil for evil's sake is unnuanced and lacking in subtlely or depth. The best films don't show simply "evil" characters, they show the roots of evil, greed, ill will, delusion. It's funny with the Yoda buddhist influence in the prequels (fear leads to anger ...) non of it was present in the originals. Just, here's a bad guy, and here's good guys. This is inherent in western filmaking and thinking, eastern films consistantly show people as neither good nor bad, but obviously complex yeah. Haha!
