no one knows, it's  teaser and a new story not based on any EU novels. you'll know in a year :)

 

they do show that storm troopers are still around so the only thing we know is that the empire or remnants of it are still around and a new sith that may or may not be aligned with them,

 

Okay, I didnt know this wasn't gonna be based on any of the books.

Not sure why you were expecting more, the movie comes out over a year from now. I'm actually surprised they showed as much as they did (e.g. the lightsaber).

 

Why? I dunno, maybe cos it's a teaser? I wanted something to whet my appetite... this left me feeling underwhelmed and uninterested

They've been teasing a lot in the trailer. More than enough to wet my appetite.

 

I'll be watching the film as soon as it's in the cinema. Again, they can't bugger it up badly enough to be worse than the prequels..

I thought all Stormtroopers were clones of Fett but Googling gives this so I guess it gives a clue as to the era of the new film

 

 

By the time the Galactic Civil War began in earnest, Jango Fett's clones were heavily supplanted by clones based on a variety of templates around 9 BBY,[13] followed shortly after by enlisted Humans.[19] Thus, the Fett clones were ironically reduced to a minority status after years of virtually filling the stormtrooper ranks in its entirety. According to a stormtrooper's entry log in the 501st Journal, none of the Fett clones were ever truly able to come to terms with serving alongside recruits and different clones, all of whom were disdainfully dubbed as the "new guys

"For the record, that is Andy Serkis you hear in the trailer. I was able to verify this, although I was not able to uncover any further information about the role he plays. Here's what I do know, though. He's playing a pivotal role in the film, although he will not have a lot of screen time." - Drew McWeeny

Awww I'll have to wait until Mid 2016 for it :(

 

Now that I have a projector I can't justify going to movies in the theater anymore!

 

Not sure if serious or what... I'd put off eating a meal to spend it on a ticket for the movie.

Two things:

 

Movies are roughly 30 years after Jedi.

As far as googling/wiki for anything Star Wars now - the only things that are now canon are the original 6 films, the Clone Wars animated series, and anything published after April 25th, 2014. Everything else is called 'legends' and doesn't have to be adhered to.

I'm not sure, but I believe some of the games are canon?

I thought this was a joke at first. When the black guy popped up at the beginning of the trailer, it seemed comical with the music. I thought it was going to be a trailer for a Space Balls sequel.

 

yeah, first though, WTF?  how is this relevant to build up my enthusiasm?

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
