Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
If anyone is wondering about the lack of the OT characters, remember John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are also going to be playing the main characters. So it was important that they (along with Oscar Isaac) were established and highlighted in the teaser, instead of the OT cast taking the spotlight. They will be shown in the full trailer by summer 2015.
The OT characters will be playing crucial yet supporting roles, but this movie and especially the sequels will be carried by the characters of Boyega and Ridley.
For me the focus and interest in Star Wars (OT) has always been the story of Luke Skywalker, not Han Solo not even Darth Vader. The original trilogy gave us a large story arc of Luke and his journey across the universe along with other beloved characters, cool weapons and spaceships. The prequels were of course focused on the rise of Vader.
I want this new trilogy to continue the arc of Luke in a profound way. But at the same time, if they have to expand the possibilities of better adventurous storylines for a long term, they need to go beyond the OT and PT characters. And I am very much looking forward to see how all these new and old characters establish themselves and what they bring to the story. In the end that's what I will connect with.

Apparently practical but with some sort of aid to make it stable and removed post production. That shot does look CG though.

Does the Sith-like figure have a black glove on only one hand? The hand holding the saber looks flesh-toned, but glossy.

Yep - and I'll say it again..... 'bloody orange and teal colour grading!!!' It is soooooooo boring and obvious - just stop it in all films. Can't believe it has made it's way in to Star Wars.

James Gunn: "Because everyone keeps asking me my opinion, I LOVED the Star Wars trailer. I got to see it not too long ago at Bad Robot. I was dying to talk about it but sworn to secrecy. It uprooted some giddy little kidness inside of me, and I think it strikes a great balance between modern filmmaking and classic Star Wars dustiness. In talking with JJ and seeing some other glimpses behind the scenes, I'm just incredibly excited for the film."

The new stormtrooper blaster is clearly a variation of the olde E-11!

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
So yes, it's absurdly lazy of the new Star Wars storytellers to retcon this part of Star Wars. Surely you can understand that. It's as bad as Greedo shooting (first).
Can we move on now?
No more absurd than not being able to realize that we've already several movies setting up that Stormtroopers are clones and not being able to understand that the general public who sees these movies most likely considers this part of Star Wars lore.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
"Can we move on now" ? really meaning, "Can I have the last word now?" Everyone is over this argument, dude.

This would make sense if that photo of the character holding the burnt Vader mask. If Driver's character does collect Sith objects, he would relish the Vader helmet. The claysaber may be one of these collections.
