Lots of cool new visual candy. One of the new bad guys seems to be a chrome plated super stromtrooper. Not sure if he's a Sith Lord because he carries a gun.

New Star Wars Trailer #2
- Thread starter 48thStreetCustom

From the scene with someone (Luke?) handing the lightsaber, I think the new Jedi might be a woman.
Maybe Wookies have superior hair replacement procedures.
Maybe they just live a lot longer than... *humans*.
In "fact", they do. Chewie is like 240 years old here.
Cap'n Tarfful (an older Wookiee) looked to have plenty of greying hair.

Here's what I don't get... and yeah, this is gunna be nerdy...
How do Tie fighters, X wings and the Millennium Falcon fly in a planet's atmosphere? They have basic repulsorlifts and even if they're piloting on their Ion drives, they don't have any wing flaps to navigate. If you had a rocket plane in our atmosphere you'd need wing flaps to control the aerodynamics.

Or thrusters. Luke's X wing flew on Dagobah and the Millennium Falcon flew on Tatooine.
Star Wars is science fantasy, not science fiction. Star Trek explains it's science. It's BS, but it's scientific BS. Star Wars is knights and princesses and battles and whatnot that just happens to take place in space.
Regarding the ships, I don't think flaps are necessary when spaceships are flying inside an atmosphere. There are thrusters and such that do the maneuvering.
I think the term "Space Opera" fits nicely. It's more in the tradition of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers than H.G. Wells and Jules Verne.
Awesome! Here's a link with a character and casting list so far: Full character list for Star Wars: The Force Awakens | Flickering Myth. I'm excited to see they've gotten three actors from my favorite show (not to mention the cast from the original trilogy).
It's really what I don't like about Star Wars. I feel like it's disguised as legit science fiction, but to me it's really just a weak story with spaceships and lasers to trick the audience to think it's more exciting than it is. The story isn't strong enough on it's own to get by without flashy shenanigans.
I think the new trailer looks great.
They showed it on the morning TV news show that I watch today. The female host was like :***: "I can't think of a worse way to spend two hours". All of the men were like
"This Decemeber, the big family holiday will be the new Star Wars movie! Sure, we'll have Christmas too, but ... STAR WARS!!!!"

They do explain their science. That's why I'm being nerdy. I got a book called Star Wars: the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels for Christmas. I heard there's someone at Lucas Arts who's in charge of making sure there's consistency across all the movies, books, video games, etc.
Maybe they made an attempt after the fact. The "science" in the originals is shenigans. I'm not saying Star Trek science is totally consistent. Sometimes ships traveling at warp can only go in straight lines and sometimes they can turn, but it's always been more scientific than Star Wars.

I tried to watch the trailer but it drained the dilithium crystals in my iPad
