Remembering to have realistic expectations. It's just a teaser and won't show anything.

How long does it take to pan over a desert to a fallen AT-AT, then have Beard Luke turn around and cut to black with a lightsaber sound. Would that be 88 seconds

No, you also have to get Luke to say "Hell, it's about time."

Hard to say, because the duration is dependant on at least 3 variables:

the size of the desert
the speed of the camera pan
the length of the beard

It shows a scene where Luke comes out of exile, and it involves him shaving with his lightsaber.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
When he's finished, he checks his reflection in a chromed out storm trooper helmet, looks to camera, and says "groovy".

88 seconds is actually a drat long time for a commercial. Even if they flash a bunch of logos and slow burn into the title they will still be showing a fair amount of footage. Expecting one long hard to identify cut interspersed with a number of quick ones. The long one will center on a set we have already seen. Short ones will flash by fast enough that even obsessive pausing won't reveal much. At least one old school actor and one new one will get a close up. John Williams already recorded music under very little dialog. And I will download and install stupid iTunes just to see it.

I don't know if that the first trailer to go up on that site but it was definitely one of the first. I remember trying to get cracks for QT Pro so I could save the video to my computer.

I'm just going to go ahead and get this out of the way.ntrailer isn't out yet but I've already got my :goo say: out of the way.

Trailer is poo poo. Movie will be poo poo. The CGI was incredibly lackluster and the small out of context pieces of dialogue were garbage. The lasers didn't move realistically. Light sabers? Seriously? In 2014? That poo poo is so old I can't believe it. No new ideas, just rehashes. Crying for more practical effects. Bad trailer. Boo.

There. I just wrote the next 60 pages of this thread.

The movie is kinda cool but I'm not able to enjoy it to it's fullest since I'm not 12 years old anymore. Instead of having the innocent and wondrous worldview of a child I am now middle-aged, balding, fat and riddled with emotional troubles that arise from adulthood and this movie painfully reminds me of my inability to no longer enjoy things. One out of five stars.

Here's my review:

As I accelerate towards 40, I am filled with increasing bitterness and self-loathing as I watch my friends grow up, have families and succeed, leaving me far behind. As my only comforts are nostalgia for my childhood, fantasy escapism, and video games, I can only be filled with feelings of frothing rage and betrayal when the trailer for the latest Star Wars movie doesn't fill my broken, jaded adult mind with the same sense of hopeful joy for the future that I had as a child. I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up.

Whatever. I went to that site and I still have to install Quicktime to watch something.
It was cool back when nobody else could encode and/or stream HD video online. YouTube me plz.


Edit: tried to install Web plugin now because I know the server will get hammered tomorrow. The one they have up is missing a file in its archive. Whoops!

For real though, still nervous over the idea of bringing back the old cast. There are so many ways this could gently caress up and just feel like shoe horned in cameos, resulting in a real weak movie for the fans, but a movie that makes 3 billion dollars either way.

They may be sidestepping that issue with the teaser, which has been reported by multiple, vetted spoiler hounds as only featuring Ridley and Boyega's characters.
