Luke's daughter is also Leia's.
Double the Force, Double the gross.

I was going to suggest that perhaps JJA is a Game of Thrones fan... imagine Han's expression when told that his* and Leia's* daughter is not his but Luke's and Leia's...
*Is Rey their daughter or not? Haven't kept up with leaks and speculation.

Resistance and the First Order are the two opposing factions in TFA.
Ah, yes, let's go to the crack-pairing territory.
I remember when someone suggested Finn was Luke's and Lando's son. Yes, you read that right.

the dark side of the force is the pathway to many abilities, some consider to be unnatural

Bail Organa adopted Leia so I don't see that too much crazy.
It would satisfy Jedi, LGTB and Black communites.
I doubt you even need the Force for this in Star Wars universe, considering the advanced medical technology.
Of course...
I seem to recall Lando had hots on Mara Jade. Let's assume Mara Jade exists in the new canon in some form... ah, yes, she can be a surrogate mother for Finn. So this becomes kind of a threesome thing as well...

Empire is the Resistance. The Rebels are the First Order.
That shot that seems to allude to Luke being with R2, the robot hand...
It fits with this concept art don't you think?
Isn't this supposed to be Serkis's character?

My guess is its the name of the remnants of what used to be the Empire, who still idolize Vader and the Emperor, and still have control over some planets on the outer rim.
Moff

we haven't really heard that name before, have we?
it's actually what I am wondering the most, how the power has shifted after endor and in the following thirty years.

Anyone know any story leaks?
So 30 years after the RotJ the Empire still has some nebulous hold on power I guess, sith trying to come back into play some how, rebels trying to wipe the Empire out?

That is so 50s
What do you mean? The style? (What TV Tropes calls "space clothes" or some such?)

The masks, specially the right one. It just gives me a 50s sci-fi vibe. I like it.

Don't think so. According to MakingStarWars (who has a pretty damn good track record now that they have the call sheets) Luke only appears for two scenes in the whole movie and neither deals with the Vader helmet.
Ah, i don't see it.
But then i don't think i've seen old scifi films...
Old posters and pics, yes, though i tend to be more interested in ones that have space ships in them.
The masks do remind me of Dune 2 troopers though.
And i always felt that game does look a bit retro-ish...

Reminds me of Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still (one of my favorite sci-fi movies).

Confirmation that the lightsaber being handed around in the trailer is definitely the one Luke lost on Bespin. It has that film's grip style, control box placement and belt clip. The rest of the details (top half of the saber's buttons, etc) varied a lot during Empires production from prop to prop. They matched much of the details but they clearly had to settle on one design. Needless to say that level of detail is very pleasing to me. That they went to so much trouble to match a prop.
Question is, how the hell did that Saber ever get recovered?

well if it didn't fall out a hatch under Cloud City it was still inside it
They got it mostly right.

Of course, the question is: what happened to the missing stuff? Is there a "full trailer" coming with the Avengers or something?

I heard someone say they had been doing multiple arrangements of the trailer and hadn't settled on what would be shown for sure til recently...I think it was in an interview recently... can't seem to find it. Seems like that is why the description is sort of off...
Ahh makes sense and is very possible.

Doesn't it seem so cool their using the style of the original trilogy instead of the clean looking prequel trilogy that just amazes me,
This is gonna be huge

ESB shows it falling down to clouds under the Cloud City. In all versions of the film.

Abrams stated that he liked the "lived in, breathed in" world of the OT, so I'm not surprised by this. Glad to see it though, all the shine in the prequels really drew me out of it sometimes.
Why is there still a "resistance" 30 years later? Were the events in the OT really good for nothing?
The Jedi and Sith really gave no fucks about making lightsabers comfortable to hold, did they.

Was it the saber? I just assumed it was random debris. The saber fell quite a bit before Luke did. I assumed fell a different way from Luke and it was in the belly of Cloud City somewhere.
Oh. Right.
...
Damn it.
Sigh, is the scene available in Youtube... gotta re-check it...

Regardless, that's one tiny needle in a planet/space station sized haystack.

Somewhere up earlier in the thread is a theforce.net forum link that has a ton of spoilers (arguably the whole plot) if you are interested.

To be fair, the bad guys went from a Galactic Empire to an Order. My guess is that it's just small factions fighting each other now, with the rest of the galaxy in stalemate.

Rome didn't fall in a day.
Helps that literally every scene in the trailer lines up with a spoiler report from the last year. Crazy good track record there.

Huh. Shame they toned down the red so much.
Also: he's got a lightsaber. So that's interesting
You got to think somebody at Disney/Lucasfilm is trying to figure out who his leakers are so that the next go-around isn't this ridiculous. We have a pretty damn good idea of the film now, way beyond what they intended.

I'm trying not to get too deep into spoiler territory, but the curiosity is killing me: is it correct to assume Luke is talking to Rey in the trailer? Or are both her and Finn going to become Jedi?
It's just dialogue ripped straight out of ROTJ. They just repurposed it for this trailer.
