It might
feel like the shortest 88 seconds of your life—but the first trailer for
director J.J. Abrams Star Wars: The Force Awakens is finally here!!!
"There
has been an awakening... Have you felt it?" opens the trailer, which gives
us a glimpse of updated Imperial Stormtroopers and X-Wing fighters.The teaser gives fans a first look at the Millennium Falcon, a new droid, and a mysterious cloaked villian wielding a cross-shaped lightsaber.(You can see this villian on the last picture)

The return of the Millenium Falcon |
So we discover new characters with the British actor John Boyega in a stormtrooper suit on a desert planet. We imagine immediately that it’s Tatouin, and it’s for me the most probable deduction, because Tatouin is an emblematic planet where were born Anakin and Luke.
Then we discover other characters: The actress Daisy Ridley who is on a flying machine. She is on a desert planet too; maybe she will meet the character played by John Boyega? And is she a Skywalker? Because she looks like Natalie Portman, so she can be a child from Leia for example. Than we meet an X-wings pilot playing by Oscar Isaac, who is doing an attack over a sea. But we don’t know where it is...
However we have no sign of the old familiar faces Luke, Leia, Han, R2D2, Chewbacca... But J.J. Abrams certifies that the emblematic “heroes” will be there.
However
there is some passage, which leaves me perplexed. In deed we discover a new droid
that has a sphere by way of the legs. The situation is for me a little ironical,
because this part of the trailer looks like a football advertisement. I think
that’s not in the Star Wars mentality, but we don’t have a lot of pictures so we
can’t judge for the moment.
In a last time, I think that the lightsaber is completely off topic. First when we see the red colour, we imagine that the character is a new Sith Lord, who will be an enemy of Luke. But when the “sides” of the saber open, I think that it discredit the Sith lord, because it’s not “normal form” that we usually see in Star Wars. You can see this saber on the next picture...
