Episode VII...Spoiler Alert

As for the trailer, here are my thoughts:

• Opening shot and voice over:  Looked and sounded perfect.  Like the overture for an epic.
• Pop goes the Stormtrooper: John Boyega entrance felt like a jolt.  The old music cue from Luke over the Sarlacc Pit was brilliant and following it with new violins reminded me of the tension that Alfred Hitchcock would get from soundtracks in his films.  The sound of a Probe Droid from on Hoth was unmistakable and instantly familiar.  And Bodega's acting...the look on his face and his frantic motions spoke volumes
• R2-FIFA looked both adorable and frenetic.  He was booking across the Tatooine landscape like a being meant to thrive in a desert wasteland.  Did he sort of wink at the audience as he was scurrying by?
• The shiny new stormtroopers.  Familiar but with a noticeable and welcome update.  More frenetic energy.  It took me back to the initial assault on Princess Leia's ship back in 1977.  But instead of seeing the tension build from the perspective of the waiting rebels lining the hallway of the Tantive IV, it was the reverse.
• Daisey Ridley on her Fudgsicle-Speeder could have been lifted directly from the Ralph McQuarrie sketchbooks.  The sound of the engines roaring as she raced off after clearly seeing something truly disturbing was perfect.
• Sleak X-Wing pilot helmet.  Same as the stormtroopers: familiar but with a noticeable and welcome update.  (I am told that the Aurabesh writing on his flight vest is upside down and says, "Pull to Inflate."  But I heard it on the Internet, so I have no idea if it's true.)
• The X-Wings racing along the lake.  It looks like someone was in a fourth vehicle racing next to the three on screen and filming.  Just filming.  Not CGI.  Not a model.  Just three X-wing fighters racing to save the day.  Building the music with deep brass horns was fantastic.
• The Man In Black.  I saw determination.  I saw youthful energy.  And the saber...I saw rage and uncontrolled energy unleashed.  Crackling like an electrical arc rather than an elegant laser.  This was a weapon from a LESS civilized time.  And the side vents took me off-guard.  A little boost, like Nigel Tunfel's amplifier going up to 11.  The bursts from the vents seemed like it was raw power that could not be contained...like flames spewing from the exhaust of a hot rod or belching out of the nostrils of a mighty dragon.
• "The Darkness...and the Light"  The voice-over has weight and texture to it.  The words felt like 3-dimensional solid objects carefully sculpted and crafted.
• And the Falcon...oh, the Falcon.  With the iconic John Williams music cue and the camera desperate to keep up with an expert flier followed by the TIE fighters screeching past, we all became six years old.  Ok..maybe you became a teenager...but there was probably at least of moment of elementary school that surfaced.
• Even the title logo was a warm comforting sight
• And the sudden end of the music as the horrible words: "December 2015" appeared.
• But with the darkness and quiet that followed, I just barely heard that Snap-Hiss of the lightsaber over the sound of my beating heart.

Now THAT'S a teaser!
