Okay Internet...stop freaking out! The new teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released today, and LAWD have mercy, it's truly awesome. I missed the first generation of Star Wars live releases, but I remember how amped everyone was for Episode 1 (That was before it actually dropped...now everyone hates those movies; Don't act like in 2000 you weren't into it though!) Watch the trailer below once more and try not to feel moved, teary-eyed, and very, very emotional.
Now let's break it all down! We begin with a gorgeous scenic shot of what looks like Tatooine (Luke and Anakin's home planet). All that has really been said so far about this movie is that it will feature three new characters played by virtually unkonwn actors, (we assume these are the "good guys), a new villan, a star-studded cast that includes many of the original characters, and that it takes place 30 years AFTER The Return of the Jedi.
This looks like a huge ship (Imperial Navy?) crashed or abandoned on Tatooine, perhaps....
The voiceover begins, a man is talking. "The Force is strong in my family," they say. "My father has it," he begins, and an image of what appears to be Darth Vader's mask pops up on the screen.
My father HAS it, not HAD? Interesting choice of words to show along with this photo.....
"I have it..." he continues. The screen changes to a bionic hand being placed on R2D2 as a fiery planet sears away in the background.
Who could this be with the bionic hand? Someone who had their hand chopped of, maybe?
"My sister has it...." he continues. Someone hands a lightsabre to a woman wearing a large ring and robe.
Leia?
"You have that power, too." The screen goes black. THIS CHRISTMAS comes up on the screen. We are treated to a shot of some spaceships/pods cruising by extemely fast! The man below seems to be flying one.
This is Oscar Isaac, who plays the character Poe Dameron. He seems to be a pilot.
Next we see a quick glimpse of one of the newly designed lightsabers. This one is red.
Who's the Jedi/Sith in this cloak, weilding this weapon? Is it Luke with an upgrade? Is it the person Luke's talking to? Is it an enemy and not a Jedi at all?
Next we see the characters Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega) running away from an explosion in the desert with a small droid following behind them. Who exactly Rey and Finn are, we are not sure.
We seem to be the good guys and fighting a war against evil.
The next image shows a hooded figure with a red lightsaber again. He appears in FRONT of the Stormtroopers, so it looks as though he is on their side. Last we checked, the Stormtroopers were serving the Empire, which had supposedly been disbanded. Does the Empire still have a powerful Sith on their side? Darth Vader's old lightsaber was also red- just worth noting. Most siths use red lightsabers, though- Darth Maul did, too.
Is this a new Sith Lord? Or is the SAME old Sith?!
Next we see a large army of stormtroopers standing in front of a huge red flag and a podium with figures in black cloaks standing on top of it. It gives off a creepy, new-world order kind of vibe. Yikes. This doesn't look good for the galaxy.
Who the heck is behind us? Is that a new Emperor?
Then we see Rey looking up cautiously towards someone, or something. Some pods race by once again after this. Pods are shooting up Stormtroopers and shit is getting CRAZY.
Oh dayum!
We cut to shot of Finn pulling off a Stormtrooper helmet, and panting heavily, looking like something alwful just happened.
Why am I in this suit? Was I forced to fight for the Empire? Am I in the suit as a disguise? Pretty sure I'm not a bad guy....
We get a glimpse of a BIG SHIP. It looks like a battleship in the sky, which means it could very well be an Imperial Navy Ship. So it does look as though the Empire is back at it....
Imperial Star destroyer maybe? Is that what this is? Can someone identify this ship for me?
Next we see someone in what looks like it could be a bounty hunter outfit, similar to Boba Fett's, but way more advanced. These are all just theories though, this costume could be ANYTHING. Adam Driver has been cast to play a villan. Is this him?
Everything looks so red and evil!
A droid peaks out from behind a wall because, obviously, all this shit is scary. I'm scared, too, droid.
This looks like the same droid that was running behind Rey and Finn. Pretty sure he's a good droid.
We get one more shot of Rey, one more shot of Finn, and Rey extending her hand and helping Finn up.
We are the good guys, we are at war, of that much we can be certain.
We see the FREAKING MILLENIUM FALCON flying into a larger ship that has landed on the desert planet where the battle/war is taking place.
HAN SOLO'S SHIP!
Quick cut to this person flying a ship...maybe, the Millenium Falcon.
Who am I?
Lastly, we get to see HAN SOLO himself, standing next to Chewbacca. Audiences everywhere WEEP with joy. "Chewy......we're home."
WHOA!!!
IS IT CHRISTMAS TIME YET?!? Who is talking in the trailer? If it IS Luke, who is he talking to, exactly? Is Rey his daughter, is he talking to her? Does he have a son- is Poe Dameron his son, maybe? Is Darth Vader still alive? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!! Let us know your theories.
