I'm warning you guys, don't get your expectations up. The trailer is a window into the filmmaker's mind and what kind of story they are hoping to tell. All indications are that the story in this film will be poorly fleshed out. The characters will be kind of just there. The movie will be a sleekly produced but vapid Revenge of the Sith meets The Godfather Part 3 meets standard Hollywood blockbuster fare.
What kind of character fleshing-out can you expect from a trailer for a film with a big cast?
Who is the main character? Are they a Jedi? A wizard? A Paladin? What thing has caused them distress in their normal ordinary life such that they will be forced to journey into the world of the story?
The only thing this trailer does is put vague Star Wars like stuff on screen and tell you to come watch it because it's Star Wars.
- There's a girl who thinks she's no one, but clearly dreams of getting off her backwater world... and then does and has adventures
- There's a disillusioned stormtrooper who, in seeking something to believe in, ends up with familiar heroes and a lightsaber, having adventures
- There's a bad guy who wants to carry on the legacy of Darth Vader
- Han is a very different man from the cynical, skeptical smuggler hired by an old man and a farmboy years ago
Sure sounds like two protagonists, a villain, and familiar supporting cast!
