This definitely counts as a "teaser" trailer. I was expecting more stuff to happen. So far we still know...not much. Which is all part of the plan, I'm sure. But yay, Millenium Falcon!
The lightsabre was definitely a little different than what we've seen before. I'm curious to see if there's any practical use for that top part or if it's just to look cool.

I imagine it has the same purpose as the guard on a regular sword, to protect the hand if an opponent's blade slides down. It just has to be lightsaber to deflect lightsaber.
She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother
I was momentarily confused about how there could be Stormtroopers still around, since the EU has been cut from the canon, but then I realized that they can still have the Remnant it just might not be the exact same story as before.

It’s finally hitting me how huge this really is. Think about what’s happening here: the most significant franchise ever created is getting officially expanded.
I have always been a complete Star Wars nut so my reaction to learning there would be new movies was one simply of personal excitement for a long time, before I started thinking about the big picture. But this goes beyond anything personal, this is truly phenomenal. Whether you’re a fan or not you can’t dispute what an iconic force (no pun intended) Star Wars is; it is truly significant that there’s going to be more to it now.
I hate to use that word twice in the same post, but it’s really the only one that accurately describes this; this is seriously a major thing happening here.
Actually this film could not come at a better time. Now that The Hobbit trilogy is over, I need something else to look forward to.

In as much as I have never seen the whole lot of star wars, I hope it will be good so the waiting will have been worth it!
In the end however... Princess Lea a Disney Princess? Forget my arm, just kill me father...
I LOL'ed a bit that the apparent main villain has to wear a Vader-like respirator, but still looks good. Also the poster they revealed the other day indicates a third Death Star, that apparently isn't called a Death Star, but basically is one, so YAY! Death Stars are the best part of the franchise, it's why the prequels weren't any good.
