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?

    Episodes IV-VI are the canon. There is no canon but that canon. Anything other than that is crap.

    Meh. The Timothy Zahn books had a much richer story than even the original films. Part of the problem with the prequels was that the standard for what can be done in the Star Wars universe had been set a lot higher by them (and a number of the LucasArts games), yet the prequels managed to be even worse than the original films.
