this is probably the best place to put this:

So, the sequel trilogy comes out the end of this year and here is yet another trailer for it (more substantial than the previous teasers). What are your thoughts?

Personally, I wish I could be more enthusiastic about it, but, well, it is JJ Abrams and he ruined Star Trek with Star Trek XI and Star Trek Into Darkness Wrath of Khan II, so I'm worried about what he might do with this. Of course the argument is often made in retort that "JJ wasn't a Star Trek fan, but he is a Star Wars fan, so he will do these movies justice." I don't know: from what I've heard about leaked plot details for The Force Awakens, it seems that this might be...

...a re-hash of plot elements from A New Hope, just like how the fans who make their versions of the prequel trilogy movies borrow heavily from the plots of the original trilogy movies.

Funny last words; at the current pace, The Force Awakens might very well be out before Edain 4.2!  :D just a joke!

I really like this bittersweet little vignette that combines the two trilogies. Fairly well done.

I agree with you Adamin. It is well done indeed. I especially like the scene at the end when you see Ben's face staring into space after the pictures of Episode III rushed through his mind again.

That was actually an amazing mix :)

Recently I've watched The Force Awakens for the second time, and I must say I really liked the movie. I'm currently in a Star Wars frenzy; read 2 novels so far (one which is OK, the other is freaking awesome!) and a bunch of comics :P and it's amazing how everything you read and watch ties in with each other.

J.J. has done a phenomenal job in bringing this universe back, and I believe he managed quite well to introduced all the new characters in a perfect chemistry with all the old characters.
The movie is not perfect, but hell it's a very good enjoyable movie!  xD
