What to Expect from the Force Awakens Trailer
After watching the new Star Wars trailer, I am very excited to see the movie. It was longer than I expected, but also was very mysterious. One of the most interesting details about the new trailer is that it only features new characters; no characters from Episodes 1 – 6 are present. I think this is a positive thing because it gives the viewer a chance to be introduced to new characters.
The trailer starts on a desert planet similar to Tatooine (though not Tatooine because it is missing a sun.) A deep voice speaks, “There has been an awakening… have you felt it?” Then suddenly an unmasked John Boyega in a storm trooper outfit appears out of the bottom of the screen. He pants, as if he has been running for a while. At this point, the music also begins, giving the listener a jump.
After this the trailer begins to cut through a series of various different scenes. It starts with a roller-ball droid, which looks similar to a soccer ball on wheels. This is an interesting new kind of droid, perhaps a companion like C3PO and R2D2. After this, some stormtroopers landing on a planet, guns ready. They left an impression of purpose, like they were there to finish something. Then it cuts to a scene of of Daisy Ridley flying across the desert in some kind of landspeeder; another new character. To top of all of the new characters, we see Oscar Isaacs, flying beside two other X Wing pilots as an apparent leader.
Then it begins to slow down a bit. A mysterious being with a hilted red light saber strides forward with an ominous aura. I am hoping he/she will be important in the movie; I want to see more of them. While this sith-like being is walking across a snowy planet, the deep voice returns, “The dark side… and the light.” As soon as this is finished, the classic Star Wars music plays and the Millennium Falcon flies across the screen, doing a series of turns while dodging two X-Wings. This brings back the original trilogy, and everything any fan has been waiting for. With that the trailer ends.
Overall, the trailer leads me to expect great things from the movie. With so many exciting possibilities and new characters, the trailer is exactly what was to be expected from such a popular franchise.
