    Don't get too excited, it's still got 7 months of post production before it's finished.

    You heard about the Jar Jar clone army resurrected from hibernation then :o They'd kept that really quiet.

    WOW - the new trailer looks fantastic and the direction that the prequels should have been!!!!

    All the original elements are there!!!

    Is that a metallic black stormtrooper with a light sabre????? Looks badass!!! Boba Fett also? Did the Sarlac not get him or did he fly out in the rehash over the years? Maybe a relative in his suit?

    Only criticism is:

    Bloody Disney Castle at the start - going to get some used to with Star Wars!!

    Space Battles look very CGI (well duh obviously etc but would have been cool to have gone down the old fashioned route!!!)

    PS - no sign of Fisher or Harrison. I guess they are still CGI rendering Fishers body :))

    You do know that trailer is fake, right?
    Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

    I saw some of the You Tube comments when watched again. Has someone admitted making it? If so quite impressive and would be hilarious if it ended up better then the real thing.

    I guess we will find out tomorrow

    Duped me too then! If it is fake, then fair play to them, as they've made it appear pretty convincing (although I've only seen it via an iphone)!

    Apparently if you watch it closely there's bits of Anchorman 2 in it?! Must have missed that bit after the "wow" of seeing a stormtrooper with a lightsabre! :))

    Putting aside the fakeness of the trailer (I was wondering why there was so much footage from Return of the Jedi in it), I have to agree with this. There was something about the massive 20th Century-Fox logo and Alfred Newman's blaring score that just perfectly set up the first six Star Wars movies. . .I don't think a magic castle and "When You Wish Upon a Star" can equal this. Then again, I've seen Bond movies start with the UA logo, the MGM lion, the Columbia goddess, and now Leo the Lion again. . .I can get used to it.

    TBH, I thought the fake trailer looked a little darker and more intriguing. I guess I'm still scarred by The Phantom Menace trailer 15 or so years ago. . .I remember thinking how great the movie looked, how wonderful it would be to be back in the SW universe. . .and then I saw the actual film. The first thing I thought when I saw this trailer was, "Tatooine AGAIN?" And the R2-unit with the spinning body. . .just too cute. But, yeah, the cross-like light saber really does look cool. I'll hold judgment and wait. . .

    Pretty impressive, considering this was done within twenty four hours of the teaser trailer being released.

    Sorry to hear that David Prowse is suffering from dementia. He is quoted, "Of course, Vader got killed and there was no way back. But the fans ask me if I'm going to be in the new movies and I just say 'Sorry, not that I know of'. I would have loved to have done something in it, even if it was just a cameo, but I would probably forget my lines."

    The official trailer looks good, but then so did the one for The Phantom Menace!

    British actor John Boyega has hit back at those on the web who question JJ Abrams' decision to cast a black actor as one of the elite (Stormtrooper) soldiers. He also thanked people for their support and expressed his excitement at being part of the hugely anticipated film.

    This is fu*king crazy some morons can accept a lizard gangster
    Or a tiny green Jedi master but they can't accept a Black Stormtrooper ?
    Bloody Racists. X-( that's all they are pure and simple,
    I say good luck John Boyega -{ hope this leads to even more success {[]
    Crap like this gets me so angry :# even today on a post about Pierce Brosnan
    Someone used the line to describe him as " They're after me lucky charms" :#
    Because he's Irish ! I hate to see what dialogue he'd have put if he'd been black.
    The sooner all this Racist crap became a part of the history books the better. At
    The end of the day " All of us" are only one step up from the chimpanzees. so I
    Hope John Boyega gives a brilliant performance ( I'm sure he will) and can use
    It to go on to even more success as an actor ! {[]

    Here's what gets me. . .the evil Empire supposedly fell. . .the last time we saw Stormtroopers Ewoks were using their helmets for drums. . .I'd say the old rules no longer apply, so who's to complain about someone other than a Jango Fett clone wearing Stormtrooper armor?
