Now this trailer starts off on tattoine and shows John boyega in stormtrooper armour. Now there are reports that say that boyega is going to be the main star in the film and with this simple shot of him in the armour it has sparked many discussions about his allegiances in the film. I believe that he was a stormtrooper but he has been stranded and will join the good guys and be trained in the force by the end of the movie for some reason.
We also see new actress daisey Ridley on a speeder heading somewhere pretty fast. What I love about this part is that the sound of the speeder is straight up star wars and it feels like 8 am watching a grittier star wars films like the original trio. I believe that her character is heading to John Boyega as it has been reported they Will be the two leads in the film.
Next we get the throwback of them all when we see the stormtroopers and the rebels in their x wings. Now what I like about this is that you can see that jj Abrams is a star wars fan because of his attention to detail. The uniforms and designs of both groups feels like it did in the originals but also updated because of the fact that it is 30 years since return of the Jedi. Also it is big to point out that Oscar Isaac is an x wing pilot in the trailer because it has been reported that he will be the third member of the trinity with boyega and Ridley in this new star wars universe.
There is a narrator who we now know is Andy serkis who's character seems to be important to the overall star wars universe. He says that the force has awakened and that got me thinking to why the force ever went to sleep and why it is now awakening but I want these theories to be left until the movie. Then it shows a cloaked figure in a forest who draws his lightsaber and it has a hilt like Excalibur and I mean I really like the new design. I think it is a good idea to have a new lightsaber design and a design that actually makes sense. It has been reported that this figure is Adam driver and he will be the villain of the film and I think that would be a good fit.
And then the end of the trailer is possibly the best part. The star wars theme plays and we see the millennium falcon flying away from some TIE fighters. I am really happy that they didn't go the easy way and just show us all of the original cast, they showed us the new cast and the new people that we will hopefully grow to love. I do hope that we see all our original favourites in the second trailer though.
After seeing what Disney has done with marvel I have nothing but optimism for this film that can lead to a larger star wars universe. All this trailer needed to do was give me the tone of the film and I thought it did it perfectly and made me feel like I had my star wars back. I think jj Abrams is the perfect man for this job especially after his job saving star trek he now has to save star wars.
