Seems like the film will indeed feel very much like JJ's style, Star Trek '09-ish. Which is fine with me; I enjoyed that film for how Star Wars-like it was.
The soccer ball droid was a little weird, as was the red lightsaber. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the 'big three,' but that's all right.
I said from the beginning that I am hoping for a movie about as good as Trek '09 and/or ROTJ.
