• The familiar imagery of the sandy/rocky terrain of Tatooine's desolate Jundland wastes with the violins and harp notes of Obi-wan's Force Theme from 1977's Star Wars
• The weird Tatooine camel thing from 1999's The Phantom Menace
• Returning to Mos Eisley...a wretched hive of scum and villainy
• Ewan McGregor's voice as Obi-wan Kenobi lamenting his utter defeat.
• The callback music cue to the heartbreaking scene from 2005's Revenge of the Sith, in which Obi-wan cries out, "You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you." followed by Obi-wan watching our fallen hero bursting into flames, but now we see Obi-wan watching over young Luke because he refused to give up
• The site of the Lars Homestead, our home..the normal world, the beginning of our heroic journey in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.
• Obi-wan using the same space macrobinoculars that he used in The Clone Wars
• Seeing young Luke instinctively mimicking his father's pod racing moves...his mind excitedly filled with adventure and excitement...his mind far from where he was...what he was doing.
• Callback music to The Duel of the Fates from Phantom Menace as the Lucasfilm logo dissolves into sand and blows away...the sand going everywhere. I hate sand.
• The stark angular precision of a dark foreboding vessel traveling to a secluded, imposing outpost.
• The voice of a confident, malevolent hunter, turning his prey's strength, compassion, into a weakness. An image of a pale focused hunter devoid of life or empathy.
• A train across the wastes of the Dune Sea. Our hero, Obi-wan, hidden in plain sight amongst other lost desperate souls.
• The cold, severe inner sanctum of a Dark, Imperial power.
• The dangling limp body of a Jedi. An image of inevitable failure in the face of overwhelming odds.
• An intense new Inquisitor....face to face with the grizzled, steely glare of a worn-down Owen Lars...just trying desperately to not get involved.
• This new Inquisitor on the hunt in the familiar territory of Coruscant...the former home of the traitorous Jedi Order. But now, those traitors are relegated to its dark, seedy criminal Underworld.
• A steely Imperial officer narrowing her sights to a distant, desolate desert planet...the furthest from the bright center of the universe.
• Power and grace unleashed in the cover of darkness in an urban wilderness.
• The image of the spinning blade of the Grand Inquisitor an unholy combination of Dark Forces and Mechanical Might.
• Music growing to crescendo. Images of the unrelenting hunt. Good under the foot of evil. A familiar blaster as a last resort...so uncivilized.
• A burst of colorful birds disbursing over an explosion...goodness and beauty refusing to be destroyed by chaos and madness.
• BETWEEN DARKNESS AND DEFEAT, HOPE SURVIVES.
• The image of Ewan McGregor as aging, steadfast Obi-wan facing whatever comes on the horizon
• The ominous, unforgettable sound of Vader'a unholy, raspy breathing...twisted and evil. And John Williams' theme for Vader...a portent of an ill fate unfolding.
• And finally, the sight and sound of a lightsaber bursting from behind the Disney logo creating Tinkerbell's arc over the logo.
I didn't care that The Grand Inquisitor had puffy cheeks and normal shaped forehead. His four seconds of the trailer were perfectly ominous and imposing, in my opinion.
