Well, the FX were cool, but the trailer didn't really show me anything that really increased the (already positive) anticipation factor. There just wasn't anything particularly plot-revealing like there was in the Age of Ultron teaser, which I still haven't recovered from

This is the point of a teaser.  I'm honestly puzzled by this sentiment, since the opposite (the trailer revealed a whole bunch/everything) is even more undesirable.

Needs more German longsword...

If they had forward swept the quillons like you see often with the cross guard of medieval Irish claymore it would have eliminated the possibility of the emitters getting taken off, increased the range of motions for your lead hand, and created a perfect blade trap.

Still if they really go all in for the Kunst des Fetchens with this new saber I'll not care about minor technical gripes.

The Hell, man. I was never even serious when I mentioned German/European swordsmanship with relation to SW. What is the world coming to...

Perhaps the side emitters are coated in cortosis. That would prevent them from getting cut off, as well as give the opponent a nasty lightsaber glitch to contend with.

[Grizzly]

Perhaps someone has constructed a lightsaber without giving thought to practicality.

[Colonol Dekker]

Cortosis weave ftw.

[StarSlayer]

Didn't cortosis get thrown out with the rest of the EU?

You're gonna regret this blasphemy when the force wakes up!

The EU didn't get thrown out, per se.  Disney just effectively said that if they want to contradict it, they'll contradict it, and tough **** if you don't like it.  They can still take things from it and use them if they want.

It would be more likely to be made out of phrik.

[Sandwich]

What the phrik?

The best way lies in the middle.

It survived alderans destruction right?

So how did they
A- mine it.
B- craft it.

[SypheDMar]

The rolling Droid bothers me more than that saber

Yep, that thing worried the **** out of me. The rest of the trailer didn't convince me one way or the other. I'm still going to keep my mind open and not make any decisions about the film either way until I see it.

I was worried the **** out for the first 30 seconds. I still hope to see it, but until it was the Millennium Falcon appeared, I swore it was fake.

Reminder that the Dark Troopers Kyle mother-forcing Katarn fought were also made of it.

Its probably made from refrigerators

according to google it's an alloy/compound so maybe after mixing the ingredients it hardens?

A change in "sword fighting" style (someone mentioned German/European swordsmanship) might actually be a welcome one, IMHO. If you're up to date on Star Wars: Rebels, the Inquisitor makes (berating) comments about Kanan's saber fighting style, and I think it would be interesting if the universe started to show variety in fighting styles, justifying things like sabers with hilt guards. I'm probably giving whoever thought up the saber in the trailer way too much credit, though.

I also didn't like the fast shakey cam of the first 15 seconds though. Reminded me of Cloverfield, which I want nothing of in my Star Wars.

[Phantom Hoover]

Literally the only shakey cam in the entire trailer is in the very brief shot of the stormtroopers' weapons. You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

If you say so. I'm anticipating some more of it in the movie, though hopefully no lens flares. But whatever you say bro.

[Flipside]

In the plus side, I quite liked the more dynamic camera feel when following the Falcon, but maybe that's just me, it gave more of a feel of speed and weight to the shot.

That said, how bloody close does every flying thing need to get to everything else, be it each other or the ground? These are primarily Space-borne vessels that need to land from time to time. I know Star Wars ignores Physics, and that's fine, but it's a freighter, it might be a fast freighter, but fast != maneuverable. The scene is well shot, but the Falcon looks wrong doing it.

Also, for some reason the start reminds me of the ending of the Red Dwarf episode 'Backwards', so I laugh when I watch it...
