Has a couple new details.
Rey understanding astromech, "You're classified? Yeah, me too."
Finn, "We need a pilot"
Rey, "We have one"
Then a cut to Han, chewy and the kids, which presumably is later because...
A clearer shot of the Rey Pilot Chair scene, where its clearly Jakku out the window when she's flying... solo.
BB8 obviously being Poe's inflight astromech
First Order flight squad flying toward a planet through an asteroid / debris field, maybe Yavin and the debris is DS1?

Those engineers all died on TRD immune DS2. Copyright in the Empire probably lapsed with the presumably upheaval in galactic politics following Palaptine's death (and as economist have show, galactic economic collapse), so the DS1 plans were public domain. First Order, being an Order and all, don't want let anything goto waste, so recycle ideas.

Time Magazine article
Has a couple new details.
Time Magazine gave above those details and more last week as they were allowed to see the first twenty minutes of the movie. The Chinese trailer does have the most spoilerly trailer so far, hence my warning on the last page.
The movie coming out next week means they are allowing for more controlled leaks to trickle out.
Also I don't think the Death Star I weakness is shared by Starkiller Base.

All I'm saying is we did see some trenches at a facility in the snow, and we saw an X-wing flying down towards them at the end of the last trailer.
Whether there is a weakness there or not is hard to say.

Even if Starkiller base was vulnerable to TRD, its not like there are any Jedi's around who can hit Vomp rats in their crappy 2000 credit T-16's back home.
You would need the force to awaken in some unknown kid for that to happen.

Its a week to The Day!
Am I excited? DAMN STRAIGHT I AM!
In the meantime here are aliens and creatures that will be all too familiar to us in the weeks to come.

** spoiler omitted **
I wasn't that excited (haven't been all along), until this trailer. This is the one they should have put out all along!

Han: Ok princess, there's only two force users and ONE black guy in this entire universe. What exactly did you and Lando get up to on that "trade summit" meeting twenty years ago?"

I gave myself 7 out of 10, my finger slipped on one.

So 10/10 but one trick question was solid in my favor because I posted in the late 90's how Leia was the best shot on the average, and I used her very early discipline and her Force Sensitivity as part of this reasoning.
In the early Marvel comics she took out two Stormtroopers with one point black shot.

TRS is a childish and irrational fear.
REAL IMPERIAL MEN wake up screaming, trembling and in cold sweats from recurring dreams of the Executor with its full contingent of the elite officer core being pulled in the the Death Star's gravity well and atomizing on the battle station's (fully armed and operational) superstructure.

I got the Leia one right, I missed the Mon Cal homeworld. I was thrown because they share it with the Quarren who are second class citizens, so I was thinking they named it after themselves.

Its a trap ACKBAR "concentrate all power on that super star destroyer!"
Admiral Piet : concentrate all fire power on the forward batteries, I don't want anything getting through!
Admiral Piet ' I said concentrate all fire power!:
Kamakazie A wing pilot "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"
Doomed Imp officer "Too late"
Bridge goes bye bye.
Favorite part of entire movie for me.
If the Imperials were so paranoid of TRD, they certainly didn't act on it enough to stop a few snub fighters from (a) taking out their most important shield generators or (b) put enough AA batteries in the trenchs that was the Executors topside.

7/10 but there were a couple I just guessed lucky.

You cut me deep sir. Very deep indeed.

Well, they did design the lancer class frigate to try to combat TRD, but that was never very successful. It also may have been retconned.
The Lancer class was never produced in the numbers where they could have seen their full potential, although had they been they would most likely have taken a toll on the Rebellion's snub fighters.
While the Lancer has not been relegated to be out of canon per se, the current anti fighter ship du jour is the Imperial Raider class which is canon.
As far as I know the Raider-class is not in fact canon.

Disney sure is hedging their bets they make their $4.1 Billion back.
The Force is insignificant compared to the true power of Merchandising.
ALL I can say is that Chewie looks like something has really pissed him off when he activates that remote

So I finally got around to buying my tickets. Working a ton of overtime this week so there's no way I'm going to be going to opening night or anything; instead I'm scheduled for a midday Sunday showing.
Yeah, a little sick of all the marketing hype going into it, but I suppose if it works to get people to go to it and Disney makes it's money, that's what it's there for.

Fairly meaty USA Today article on that little indie film The Force Awakens
I noticed this image in the article. It looks like Finn is wearing Poe's Jacket.
