I'm 35, i had crappy 3in action figures that were worst than gi-joes. I built model at-ats, speeders and xwings, yes i can practically smell the testor model cement and filmy finger tips and it brings me back.
Still, this trailer, unimpressive much. I never cared for the EU bullshit, and the comics were worse and pretty ugly, what did bring me back into the star wars universe, were the games. super star wars for the snes, holy shit was that a hard side scroller, then of course x-wing and then x-wing v tie fighter. Had to learn dos and shit to play all those games to make the perfect autoexec bat file. Then jedi knight, holy shit kyle katarn, go fuck shit up.
Then i'm a sophmore in college, in engineering/comp sci, a whole college full of like minded nerds, we all got a midnight showing. My Gf at the time(wife now) slept, holy fucking shit was that ass boring as shit.
2002 rolls along, ok Lucas, you killed a part of my childhood, maybe you'll make it up in move2, nope, it just fucking died. fuck you star wars never again.
2003 wtf is bioware and why did they win all these game of the year? knights of the old republic? holy shit
and that's it, that's the last time i felt good about anything star wars related, everything after KotOR is shit and will make you feel shitty for thinking about it. Why? b/c you'll make concessions.
Like KotOR2... yea it was "almost" as good, if not rehashed... and yea it expanded crafting and shit, if a bit rehashed.
The next Star Wars Movie is like the next Transformers movie, it'll be shit and crap on your childhood, b/c they don't care, they just want to make money.
What is this trailer? it's Pandering.
Pandering to the overt racism in Star Wars, in a galaxy far far away exists a bunch of white ppl, jimmy smits, the colt 45 guy and tons of mexican clones.
So let's put a black guy in a storm trooper outfit!
Star Wars is about droids, so let's make El Soccer D2
And Star Wars is about light sabers, so let's come up with some cool new light saber design, just b/c we have to keep up with the Jones.
Oh and let's camera flip the Millenium Falcon, just b/c.
Pandering.
There's been a ton of of Space Opera type movies release since Return of the Jedi (cuz let's be real the prequels suck and don't count) that are better.
