"Chewie? We're home."--the only part that mattered 
Good to see that Chewie and Han are still a couple. Sometimes mixed marriages can be difficult to navigate. It must be true love. 
This looks awesome. The fallen Star Destroyer and X-Wing was a nice touch. Seeing Han and Chewy was epic.
...same way I felt...."Chewie? We're home."--the only part that mattered
....I'm just glad they haven't tried to update the Chewster and have him manscape and stuff...Good to see that Chewie and Han are still a couple. Sometimes mixed marriages can be difficult to navigate. It must be true love.
I've only ever seen the first Star Wars movie. I've tried watching some of the others but never got through them (came close with the second). Don't know why, as the saga seems to be done rather well, I just don't have any interest in it. And I'm a scifi fan... Go figure!
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for good blaster at your side, kid." Han Solo, one of my all time favorite quotes.
I can't wait to see this with my son. Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in an actual movie theater in 1977. Looking very forward to it.

SW is an outer space western more than sci-fi, I've always thought
Every adventure hero since is some variation of Han Solo--not a bad thing at all
Okay, now I gotta go change my pants. Holy crow.
Come on man, you've been in that toilet waay to long - theres a queue doncha know !
It all i ever wanted to see - chewie and Han together in the Falcon, boba fett in his 'Slave' and an apocalyptic landscape of fallen Empire ships - O....M.....G
Okay. I flat loved that. Loved it .
HOWEVER..... I also flat loved the trailers to Star Wars 1, and that venture didn't turn out so hot, so I've learned to temper my anticipation.
I think J.J. Abrams' direction and instincts are far more suited to Star Wars than to Star Trek, and yes, there is a difference, and an important one, and so I'm far more hopeful for this than for his ill-advised ST reboot.
We'll see. I'm afraid, come December, I'll have to pony up and pay my dues. Here's hoping. .

This looks like it will at the very least be better than the last 3...I have higher hopes already!
People all wanna talk how episodes 1-3 sucked, and granted, Phantom Menace did kinda suck (meesa say sorry), but I dug Clones, and Sith...I don't care what anyone says, Revenge of the Sith was killer--THAT was the Star Wars I'd been waiting for since I was five. Sure, the performances were kinda lacking in all three flicks, but for that I blame George Lucas' direction. Remember, he'd only directed the original 1977 flick--the worst of the original trilogy, as far as I'm concerned. Working with actors has never been Lucas' strongest feature--his skills lay elsewhere, in production, story, effects, basically everything else. Empire is the best Star Wars, for my money. Jedi has its moments, but there were far too many damn muppets and Ewoks, which all but ruins the flick.
Basically, what I'm saying is, the original trilogy isn't as great as everyone thinks. Most cats are remembering how good the films were when they were kids, and get all butthurt when when the prequels don't live up their childish expectations. They wanna pout about the CGI, "the original effects were so much better". Really? All those puppets and bad make-up effects? Or they say the acting doesn't match up to the originals, and true, Hayden Christiansen's performance is on par with a cardboard cutout, but Ewen MacGregor did a fine job as Obi Wan, Natalie Portman is always a treat--and c'mon, freakin Christopher Lee as Count Dooku? If you didn't dig THAT, then you need to sit down one weekend with a stack of Hammer horror films and expand your mind.
At the end of the day, these flicks aren't GREAT CINEMA, but rousing Space Operas that no none need take so damn seriously. Just line up, getcher damn popcorn, shut up and watch. I can't freakin wait.
(And J.J. Abrams is great--I freakin LOVED Super 8. And the new Star Trek.)

It was certainly better than the first trailer.
I really want to be excited for this. I'm going to have to reserve judgement until I actually see it.

I thought Clones and Sith were OK.
No one is ever going to top Empire though. Ever. Boom! Done!
