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?

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
