It's no secret that CHOAM is meant to be OPEC.
It seems unlikely as OPEC was only formed in it's smallest incarnation, a couple of years after Herbert began writing Dune. But it's possible I guess.
More than possible

The scarce water of Dune is an exact analog of oil scarcity. CHOAM is OPEC.

I notice that the third one is unopened. Guess it's not that important.
You can see the shrink wrap on all of them. I guess they just arrived.
Bingo, thank you for writing the definitive OT.com post about not overusing the cry of "Universe Shrinkage!" We needed it, and you did it very well.

If the following is true, then I'm really fucking excited despite what I've said in the past. http://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/2nyd64/rumor_potential_4chan_episode_vii_leak_possible/
Hmm...
The contention is that he is an existing character from the prequel films, and the revelation of his identity will shock viewers.
Come on, come on, Ric!
Seriously though, I have no idea who this could be. Who's left?
Well, except Boba Fett.

This is exactly right

Has anyone else noted that they based the Falcon's engine glow on the SE version?
Given that the pre-SE glow was just a big white blur with no interior detail, I'm not surprised.
Also, it may be that the white-glow is more of a space thing.

The other day I actually paused the teaser at the very last moment of the shot showing the back of the legs of the new Stormtroopers as they are about to disembark down the ramp - turns out that it indeed seems that it's just the colour of the lighting inside the transport they're waiting in that is reflecting the hue on their armour...as the precise moment I paused the end of the shot shows the legs of the Stormtroopers turning to gleaming white after all at that point, as the ramp door opens wider. It's just that the shot ends abruptly at this point, too quickly for our eyes to catch this last frame. So I'm satisfied that the blueish/teal look of those particular shots is just due to the colour of the lighting reflecting off their armour after all, rather than due to deliberate colour-meddling.
This frame...
...incase anybody was wondering. Nice spot, thanks.
This is a very, very good point.
No, no, in this case, it did make some sense...

It's fun to compare and contrast with the teaser for the original. :)
The trailer just a couple of random images with a creepy voice that doesn't say anything sustantive. There's not enough information to go on, not enough to form any sort of opinion.

We'll be the judge of that. You can wear all sorts of things.
I'd like to see you wear files
Yeah, it's a fast moving robot. Anything that moves that fast is not going to make you think of the OUT.
Man that is some obscure zoomy
Let me recommend that you post this in
or
depending if you like spoilers or not

-The soccer ball droid. Although somewhat silly, I personally feel it looked and felt like it could have been plucked right out of ANH. And for all we know, it may only have a few moments of screen time.
As seen here: http://i.imgur.com/7tmnPX6.jpg
looks like the little guy is a new sidekick. Probably looks less silly when not moving so fast.

But then again, why does this fan teaser look better than the real deal?!?!

What is that villain igniting his lightsaber for anyways? Does he plan on chopping down some trees?
You're probably right, teaser trailers usually tell us everything there is to know so that's the only possibility.
He's probably hunting someone who's hiding in, behind or under a tree.

Where has Abrams said it's being shot on 35mm so it will fit in the OT? Not that I don't believe you, but I didn't think Abrams has taken sides, so to speak.
Now the wait begins for the actual trailer. May, perhaps?
http://www.cinema5d.com/jj-abrams-shoots-star-wars-episode-vii-35mm-film/
Yeah I'm wondering if we'll be dropped another morsel in May. I'm actually hoping that we'll get some some 'leaked' photos of glimpses of the original trilogy cast in costume, perhaps in time for the Christmas period. Was a little disappointed we didn't see them in this teaser, but kind of expected that, knowing how JJ likes to tease the audience.
I'm glad, actually. Get people excited about new Star Wars without the old cast, means you can make more films without the old cast in them in the future.
I took some screenshots
Could part of the image problem be that we're looking at compressed video? How much is that contributing to the omgdigital cry?

Well, it did spoil any enthusiasm I held for the movie, that's for sure.The red Lightsaber?
Perhaps colars are the only variation he wants in saber types, I dunno
Ziggy Stardust said:
Perhaps the soccer ball droid only rolls when it's moving, and can deploy objects from its sphere?
I agree. They've got the same pain scheme, the sphere appears to have hatches on it.
As for how it stays on...magnets?
Trailer reveals that new film made by modern director will look like a new film made by a modern director. Fans with unrealistic expectations pissed.
I thought it was a very exciting trailer.
Maybe they rendered the scene too dark, then decided it was cheaper to do a messy lightening in post rather than re-render.
No, I think NeverarGreat is right
You know, despite what you say about original format, I've had no desire to see any Hobbit in 48
but we digress
Oh I've always wanted go to the Uptown - That's a good idea.
Maybe I'll see Hobbit 3 there, I dunno.
