I asked a few people their thoughts on this trailer:

The Angry Ginger, @s7evendaysageek:
Epic might be over used…but Holy Shit! So much eye candy I’m
almost positive Willy Wonka directed it.

The “Uncanny” OZ
I’m thinking it’ll be okay.

If Rey goes dark dude I’m tearing up my girl power poster….

History of Bad Ideas, @BadIdeasPodcast
it’s so beautiful

So there you are folks the last trailer (well that is what they are saying) before the December 15th release. Like you I am looking forward to seeing the next chapter. Also like you I am hoping that we will see a new path. A different direction and not rewrite of ‘Empire’.  If have to realized that like the original series 4,5,6 there has to be some struggle. The heroes can not win ever battle. So like the other movies do not be surprised that this movie does not end on a happy not. To tell a good story it has to. But please remember that just because it may have that ark does it not mean it is a rewrite of Empire or Attack of the Clones.

Try and enjoy it.
