Weird looking Vader or not, I'm psyched for this.

I'm actually so much more excited for this than I was for TFA. While I LOVED The Force Awakens, I'm just ready to see another story told in this galaxy far far away and this looks to be a GREAT movie from what we've seen. I hope it blows away the paltry predictions of $130M! I'll see it multiple times. The planned stand-alone-films are where my real interests are going forward. Yeah sure I'll always feel a part of the Skywalker drama but I want to be told another story (on screen) for once in the past 40 years.
Its a credit to the marketing of this that with every new clip that comes up the tone changes strongly (helped powerfully by the each individual piece of theme music I may add). I wonder where it will eventually end up? As regards this being a new type of saga story to the usual Skywalker one, I'm hoping it won't be entirely as hopeless by the end as the possibilities might suggest, and I'm kind of more heavily invested in the story now that I've read "Catalyst". It really does work very well with the entirety of the existing film sagas and TV series whilst opening up and adding to the SW universe with ideas and possibilities I thought made everything work really well. I'm far more impressed with this than the TFA so far because it feels so much more relevant to the "canon", but I think it will probably open up a lot of potential storylines going forward.

It is reminiscent to me of the "Death Star" novel that I loved so much.......

I thought I'd read that Giacchino had "shadowed" John Williams during the scoring of TFA but I could be wrong. At any rate, the guy's got good themes. Love his score for Super 8.
Here is an actual description of how the film opens. Minor spoilers...

I just hope in the Tantive IV shows up it's the proper OT one and not that squished up ROTS monstrosity.
i never knew they were different. i'm going to have to pay attention next time i see the films

I like how the rocket launcher essentially did nothing to the AT-AT, the the X-wings swoop in

FINALLY! Ticket sales begin at 12:01 EST on Monday!
It's been said it's a very similar ship just not the exactly the same one.

Ooohhh... The shape on that belt buckle looks like The Crest of Alderaan.
So, they brought that into Canon, huh?
I also don't think that there was an embossed representation of it before. I have been considering putting this crest on the grips of a DDC Defender (Leia Blaster), replacing the Margolin crest.

Bail can be spotted in one of the trailers or TV spots if you look closely... (I forget which one, sorry)
It must have been discussed in this thread before.

Aww.. I hadn't noticed that. I read about the symbol on Wookieepedia after I had seen and repressed most of my memory of that movie and the article does not mention canon uses of it... hmm.
