yeah you're right it' s retro but with modern effects
Even the slight juddering from the physical film not being perfectly aligned is there (noticeable in the opening panning shot).

The animated character's eyes are huge, and she might be kneeling down so she appears short.

Daisy Montage!
I agree, she is quite beautiful
For those who missed the technological marvel that is BB8 strolling out onto the stage during the panel:

Holy crap. How does it stay on top?
R2D2 so jelly right now.
Judging by the scenes with him so far. Seems like he is either a Stormtrooper that sees something happen he doesn't agree with, and sets out to get out of the Order (?) and is thrust into many sequences where he is on the run, or he is just a part of the Order or is someone important that is being chased and again is on the run.
But either way, from what I've seen it looks like he is on the run. Maybe he starts with the Order, escapes a Star Destroyer or something in one of those capsules, ends up on this planet and eventually finds his way to town where he meets Rey ( Daisy ). The First Order hunts him down on the planet and attacks Rey's town, setting into motion her getting more involved in the fight against the Order along with Rey.
So my guess in sequence
- new army or alliance is formed called the First Order
- soldier Finn is not liking what he sees and tries to escape
- Finn lands on planet Jakku
- Finn crosses the desert, finding a village
- Finn meets Rey
- Finn is located by the First Order and attacked
- the Order attacks Rey's town / home in the process
- Rey joins in the fight against the First Order and the new Sith
Something like that is my guess ( and thinking about it, the opening sequence would almost mirror the opening of New Hope where C3P0 / R2D2 is on the run, crosses the desert, lands in the care of Skywalker, droids are tracked and located, Luke's family is murdered, and he sets out to join in the fight against the Empire )
He's totally a Cylon.'chu lookin at punk?

Okay, that was pretty cool.
I liked the chrome Stormtrooper.
You guys are really out of the loop when it comes to the rumors which seems to match things shown is this teaser. I don't see why both of them won't be Jedi Flynn and Rey. A female and black lead, which is awesome
It make sense if you think about it, if you listen to what Kathleen Kennedy was saying at Celebration. When she was asked who she identified with or imagined herself as in the original trilogy, she just said: well, there wasn't much choice...
Yeah, she probably pushed for a main female hero and Daisy just scream main lead already with her desertic planet origin and all (also got her own droid). I hope she can handle the pressure that will come with it (Jake Loyd or Hayden couldn't and Hamill never got past the: hey look it's Luke Skywalker).
Boba confirmed.
Looks a bit too plasticy/metallic I think, too much like a cosplayer or something.
Aha! Further thoughts from the teasers
Aha! Further thoughts from the teasers
I'm thinking Rey is the daughter of Han and Leia, seeing as how the Falcon is always seen on the desert planet and Han says " chewie, we are home ". So Jakku is the home of Han and Leia ( will be interesting to hear how that ended up happening, Han doesn't strike me as a Desert guy ). The First Order, during its pursuit of Finn, is located by the Resistance and they mount a defensive ( would explain the way BB-8 seem's to be fleeing in a way in the first teaser, or maybe picked up the Tie Fighters and Destroyers on his sensors and is running to warn Rey ) while Han is on his way to rescue Rey. Meets up with Tie Fighters on the way to rescuing Rey and battles it out with them.
On the ground, Finn, who is on the run from the Order for whatever reason, leaves the pod he landed on Jakku with, crosses the desert finds himself in the town where Rey lives and in doing so, brings the Order to Rey's town. It looks like in the 2nd teaser Rey is hauling ass toward something with determination, maybe it is the Falcon?
Thats my current theory on what is going on. Sounds pretty reasonable, and would be pretty in-line with how the original trilogy started.
I also think Rey is the new Luke Skywalker for this film. Where, Han and Leia may of hidden her abilities from her, until these events start to unfold and then they reveal she has the potential to be a Jedi. So after the attacks, she goes on a hunt for Luke to begin training as a Jedi during the 8th and 9th films in the series.
Meh, New Terminator looks way better.
Maybe both are to become Jedi? Would be awesome if you had a pair of apprentices learning, becoming different types of knights. That's my hope anyway, but I'm super down with Rey being a badass knight on her own.I like this theory a lot, but it doesn't explain why Finn has a lightsaber in his concept art.

Him mentioning in the conference that hope was a large part of the originals was huge for me. In fact, everything Abrams said to describe the original trilogy made me ecstatic he's steering this film.They nailed the look for this movie.
The action looks great.
They just need to keep some lighthearted and silly moments and it will be a worthy sequel of the OG movies.

maybe that is why Finn is running from the Order? He stole / found an old lightsaber that was on the Star Destroyer where he was stationed. He flees with the lightsaber and is pursued intently by the Order?
kind of like C3PO and R2D2 being pursued intently by the Empire in the original trilogy due to them believing the droids had the plans to the Death Star on them.
The "We are home" line is in reference to the Falcon.

Which also makes me disappointed he's not directing the second (or third) film.
