From what I understand, it wasn’t an actual trailer but from what I saw, it still has me excited for the movie.
As far as Rey with the red lightsaber and cloak, I think she took those off Knight of Ren to sneak into someplace. I remember the Return of the Jedi trailer with Luke next to Vader in the elevator, everyone thought Luke switched sides.

I dunno... I was tired of the different/multiblade lightsaber after Maul.... Other than that, I see no reason to be crapping on this trailer...
It's 1:12 of old footage... 45 seconds of new - out of context (unless you know spoilers) footage.
So it LOOKS good to me... can't say anything else... there was no dialogue (other than V.O)

I don't see the point of a lightsaber folding when you can just have the blade extend out the back, a la Maul.

I get the feeling he will be involved with Lando and the Falcon part of the story. My only reason for saying that is there is going to be a R2 minifigure in the upcoming Falcon Lego set.

Make it easier and more compact to carry on your belt. Having a two/two and a half foot tube hanging off your belt can't be that practical. A sheath would be better.

You mean Superman III?That could be hotBut I figure more likely a vision, or maybe Rey has to battle her own potentially evil self a la Superman IV.

Yeah that's the one, thanks.
Didn't the Zahn books end with Luke fighting his clone? I was never an EU guy...
Wasn't there also a fleet of star destroyers that jumped and were lost in the EU? is that what that is supposed to be?
Maybe I don't want these answered as I haven't read a leak of any kind...

I'm really having a hard time understanding what the point is of Threepio having red eyes.
I'll admit, I'm not thoroughly versed on the canon outside of the films, but I don't recall red eyes being a sign of "evil" droids. Maybe I'm wrong? I dunno, you guys tell me if there was a precedent for this.
Also, we've seen other protocol droids of the exact same style as Threepio. So I don't get it being either a disguise or a sign of an evil version (that maybe isn't even Threepio) -- unless JJ has just decided that we are all too idiotic to understand without some blatant visual reference.
I just can't fathom a good narrative reason for this beyond either the director thinking this looks cool, or thinking that the audience is stupid.

Each film tires to do something different with the Lightsaber- Maul had the double ended one, Anakin fought with one in each hand, Grievous had four with a couple of mechanical spinners. Kylo had the cross hilt style and now it seems bad ass Rey has a double bladed one which can unfold into a Maul style if needed.
I'm fine with that- it will be interesting to see how the two parallel blades work in combat.
New twists to fights and new toys for Christmas- all in the fine tradition of the franchise
TLJ ruined this trilogy for me and I will not see this movie. Fixed that for *me*.
The first 43 or so seconds of the trailer were great.
