Wouldn't work on my Mac at work, so I had to watch it on my phone. No headphones. Full volume in a silent office.

No regrets.

Falcon - super-cool.

Silly lightsabre - only cool if it's swung around like it is heavy

X-Wings - not sure

Deserts - Bit deserty

The lightsabre is still stupid. The whole point of a crossguard is to protect your hands, that one will just slice through your wrist as soon as you do a silly Jedi twirl.

I have since had a facebook discussion and have been convinced that the lightsaber crossguard would not in fact slice up your own wrists, even if you are doing silly Jedi twirls. I therefore retract this minor pedantic critiscism.

This just looks so real, as opposed to the fake rubbery mess of the prequels. Love it.

How the fuck does a CGI comedy R2 robot ball look real? Looks like the usual fake-ass CGI to me.

Re. the trailer overall. Hmmm, hard to say. I liked the X-Wings over the water. Stupid Light sabre (seriously, he'll do himself a mischief on those little sticky out bits). Has that JJ Abrams feel, which is to be expected I suppose. Doesn't really feel like SW to me, but it looks ok.

Trailer looks amazing.

The only slight misstep is the silly light sabre, but as that appears in a scene which has obviously been lifted wholesale from a section out of PS1 slash-em-up Bushido Blade, everything is forgiven.

You couldn't do a pommel bash, but then you probably wouldn't with such a light weapon anyway.
