I was hoping the very last shot would be Hugo Weaving, in an exasperated tone, saying " . . . Mister Anderson . . . "
It looks like exactly what I predicted yesterday. A 'Force Awakens' soft reboot.
Upside: I thought the first ones had SFX that were too showy & pulled me out of the story. (Yes, I thought it even at the time. Yes, I was young at the time.) Today that is no longer a big resource to draw upon. Show-off effects don't sell or impress people like they used to. This movie will have to focus more on story if they wanna get any traction with it.
They picked a good trailer song. It suits the movie. Pop culture recognizes it, but it hasn't been overused in recent decades.
Gen-Z and younger's most immediate reaction will be: "Oh, so this is where the red-pill-blue-pill thing in pop culture comes from!"
