A trailer spanning about 90 seconds has emerged for the upcoming new Star Wars movie. Featuring footage of Han Solo and Chewbacca, together with shots of a grand scope reminiscent of Star Wars: A New Hope, the trailer appears to depict a film quite closely aligned with the first Star Wars trilogy of yore. The anticipation was huge and reactions generally positive, with several high profile fans posting exuberant reactions minutes after seeing the trailer.

Could this be the redemption of the Star Wars franchise?

    This video got a lot of attention and was so well done, it's very likely he saw it, I'm just hoping he listened:

    4 rules of Star Wars: A fan’s plea to J.J. Abrams [youtube.com]

    For the non-video folks, here are the rules:

    • The setting is the frontier (it's a western)
    • The future is old
    • The force is mysterious
    • Star Wars isn't cute

    Let's hope it doesn't suck.

    ahhh... film noir...

    battered characters in trenchcoats...
    old places soaked in smoke, rain and fog...
    godlike dialogues...
    characters who don't fucking grin when they kill, but walk away sad...
    characters that act as if the adversary was worth more than just a shit...
    characters who act, and greet as if they knew each other...
    clothes that don't look newly washed...
    characters who seem to love and know every corner of their place...
    random objects that give the impression of a longish life lived, many gray anydays...

    ...I go to take a smoke and weep a little...
