MAY THE HYPE BE WITH YOU

Pretty meh trailer. Doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know.

I don't really dislike it but don't like it either. It's not trying to sell people on the film, it's basically just reminding everyone that this film is coming. Which is fine. But I do find it crazy that there are hour long videos on Youtube already discussing this trailer and fawning over how great it was, when it was kind of nothing.

That being said, I'm looking forward to the film. I think it could be really good. This trailer just didn't get me even an iota more excited than I was already.

That's basically the purpose of teaser trailers. We'll get the actual full-length trailer in a couple months.

Yeah, I get the point of the teaser trailer. That doesn't bug me - I see their purpose. But I get irritated by the section of the media, the Youtube community and the fandom who talk for hours about nothing trailers and read things into them that aren't there, and more particularly who attack anyone for having a negative or even a neutral opinion to these trailers.
