It looked like a wrecked Super Stardestroyer to me. The regular SD seen in the opening shot wasn't upside down, and it's bridge tower was intact.

 It is a SSD, before the zooom in you can see the other sets of engines in the background, the one in the intro is a regular SD (there is also a wrecked X-WING on the front)

Yeah, I loved that shot. I wonder if J.J. or someone else involved was a fan of the Terran Trade Authority books? There were similar vistas in this volume I used to have...

When I saw Guardians of The Galaxy, some of the ship designs gave me a similar vibe.

Where were you in '77?

Fun fact: Chris Foss the artist for that second cover was actually hired as a designer for Guardians of the Galaxy.

I wonder if that second image is unused artwork for Dune?

I remember this game. I played it a few times in high school, but after some jocks found out and beat me to a bloody pulp, I tossed the game right in the trash.

Wow... I can't believe the majority of the cast was announced a year ago today.  We haven't heard much about Domhill Gleeson or Max von Sydow and their involvement.

Is this the trailer that's playing in front of Avengers? ;)

Does anyone know for sure if the new TFA trailer is being shown in front of The Avengers 2? I'm going to a midnight premier tonight and am curious to see it on the big screen.

I think that was just a rumor, not confirmed.  I'm wondering if they would show a new teaser and the full trailer within a few weeks of each other?  The teaser was released only 2 weeks ago.  I'm guessing they'll just have the newest teaser.

It looked AMAZING.
