Plenty of head scratching bits for me with this new trailer. Plenty still looks off and fake-ish- especially in she ship design and the glaring weirdness of the X-Wing cockpit moments. The new actors and stormtroopers are pretty jarring to see in this context. But Harrison's bit was both weird and uncanny for me. I'm also surprised they showed any of the returning principals this early.

The burned Vader helmet means Luke isn't very good at cremation.

Anakin/Luke's saber being handed over made me question: Okay who went to Cloud City to retrieve it and does this mean Luuke will pop up anywhere?

Chewie's grooming is really good. Seriously, what happened with the mask there?

I know nothing can be perfect, and it will be extremely weird to see new stories in the original universe, but I can't help but agree with HairyHen that something is missing that lacks the Star Wars feeling. To me it not only doesn't quite feel Star Wars, but it certainly doesn't look it. This puts me off more than anything in the trailers.

So I'm still hiding under the "Kasdan helped write it..." stay positive rock.
