STAR WARS: The Force Awakens has had a teaser trailer released that tells of a great awakening that
has clearly stirred a more peaceful time in the galaxy so very far away.
There has been an
awakening. Have you felt it?
The teaser
fades up on a desert plain with a desperate looking man in Storm
Trooper armour without a helmet, which would be the first time that these pawns
of the Empire have been humanized, or is this man in a Storm Trooper disguise reminiscent
of the garbage compactor scene in A New
Hope. He clearly has just been
through something bad, breathing heavy and looking discombobulated as he flees.

We then see a
young woman, Daisy Ridley on a land
speeder with a concerned look on her face as she speeds off along the desert prairie. Then a man with the Rebel Alliance, Oscar Isaac is in an X-Wing fighter speeding along the
surface of a body of water with a number of other X-Wing fighters, ostensibly
readying themselves for battle, perhaps against the recently deployed Storm Troopers.
The Darkside….
We then cut
to a black-cloaked figure stumbling in a snowy dark forest, hurrying along when he snaps
out a lightsaber and igniting it, forcing the recognizable red beam of light
upward forming a laser blade. But that’s
not it, two mini red beams jutting horizontally out of the base of the lightsaber
into a hilt. This Sith Lord prepares to
fight some unseen adversary ahead of him in the dark of the woods.
…and the Light.
Then the recognizable John Williams score kicks in as the Millennium Falcon hurls in the afternoon sky intercepting a couple of TIE Fighters as it flips and speeds by them engaging in a dogfight.
The iconic Star Wars logo, with The Force Awakens wedged between, in
space appears with the music at a high and then falling silent to which the
sound of a lightsaber engaging can be heard.
End of
Teaser.
There have
already been a number of likes and dislikes about this teaser trailer roaming
the hallways of the internet. For the
most part though I would say that what J.J Abrams and company attempted to
achieve with this first look at their epic film was effective. Note that there were no space scenes;
everything in the teaser take place in a planetary atmosphere, presumably Tatooine. Abrams is clearly keeping his space scenes
under wraps as he should. We’re all
going anyway and he knows it so there is no reason in spoiling too much.
The
Problems:
It has Star Wars familiarities in it but it
doesn’t thus far look and feel like a Star Wars movie.
The Droid
with the spinning body, soccer ball thingy, nitpicky I know, seemed a bit silly
to be honest, kids will love it, so that’s okay.
The landspeeder
that Daisy Ridley is riding looks like a Popsicle and I’m not the only one who
thinks so.
The hilt on
the Sith’s lightsaber made me think immediately that that’s a recipe for disaster. I know, he knows the force and it won’t hit
him in the face as he swings his lightsaber around.
What I
like about it:
There is
this eerie sense of dread about it, everyone in running away or toward
something with purpose, whether it’s to save themselves or kill something.
The Storm
Troopers looked bad ass.
The X-Wing
fighter looked incredibly cool.
The Sith Lord
in the woods was sort of awesome, especially how he pulled out his lightsaber
and snapped it on.
