Is that a wanna be Death Star in the background?

A small moon perhaps................
Look again...that slice cut out of it is not part of any kind of planet I can think of...
I have enlarged and enhanced the poster section, and drawn a rectangle around the death star:

I think Joe was going with the joke dude 
Pity they canned the EU, it could have been the Eclipse or something which would have been really cool
(Eclipse = Super Star destroyer size ship with a spine mounted superlaser like the D.S)

Ah yes, the dialogue....my bad! This new death star looks like it has a lens on it. Looks scarier than the original. But why is there one in this? Abrams...he talks and walks like he is an original, but what he does best is shine up what is already in place and re-package it. We will get to see soon enough.

Seriously??
JJ turns gold into lead.
If I were to pick someone to "play" in the Trek Universe, it would have been Ron Moore, because while he might have pushed the boundaries of the material a bit like he did in DS9, but he never "broke" it. (BSG was a re-boot, so that's different)
SW he (JJ) is a fan of, so he might not break it, something I am more optimistic of than you are dude. Even still, I am not a huge fan of him, I think they should have looked internally for it, perhaps the directors used in TCW or Rebels.

THOSE guys get it for sure. Especially the ones from TCW. Im not into Rebels as much as I was into TCW. But yeah, Abrams sucks big time and I will never forgive him for nuking Star Trek the way he did. He left it in a shambles. It will take a whole movie just to fix it later.

Rebels "get's me where I live" a bit because one of the first RPG's I played outside of D&D -was- the old West End Star wars game, which is set in the same time frame. So "sticking it to the Empire" was my first continuation of the SW universe back in '86, before the comics or novels to a degree.
I like them both, in fact, this weekend we watched all of S1 of rebels

So,was that a whole gaggle of Ren Knights I see in the new trailer?! at about 1:24 or so?
And we can see Kylo Ren talking, praying? to Vaders burnt helmet-a religious icon for the Knights of Ren?
anyhow-pretty cool looking (tickets are already scalping at about $1000!):

or the force doesn't care because its combined power can keep in check any play from any individual whomever they may be

Would you believe I actually saw this when it aired -during the mid game show- of the NFL
(Mrs GF was home sick today, and she likes watching the NFL for some reason)

If that were true, the Jedi would not have been "all powerful" for so long in the core SW universe.
Okay, so we have (all in repackaged form):
Darth Vader
A Death Star
A war between the Empire and the Jedi (even though the Empire was destroyed and the Jedi killed)
Han Solo
Chewbacca
Princess Leia
C3P0
R2D2
Missing (so far)
Yoda (or some character who looks almost just like him and acts like him)
Jabba the Hutt
An Emperor (or dark Sith overlord)
Knowing this thread will be here after we have seen the movie, I want to predict right now that this next film will ape the first Star Wars Movie: A New Hope. I predict that the storyline, not the visuals, will be a re-interpretation of A New Hope with things switched around, shuffled a bit. I think there will be many many shout-outs to the original trilogy films. Props, perhaps even an alien bar scene. I think that the female character we see will follow the same sort of story arc as Luke Skywalker did in SW A New Hope. Not exactly the same, it will just remind us of that film, very strongly. I also predict that this film will break all records of previous Star Wars films, even if fans might be disappointed. The visuals will be bright, explode-y and fast paced. I think the impression will be "he overdid it" I do not know any of this will happen...just predicting.
My neighbor has already bought him and his wife a ticket. He only paid $20.00 for them, but in some places the pre-sale tickets for opening night are climbing quickly in price. Really? Do people still wait in lines at movie theaters?

i mean once they are dead
take the 'heaven' (or hell) example
neither god or the devil really cares how bad ass or goody goody you are-there is supposedly, nothing any soul can do to disrupt or change the place once they get there
if you believe that kind of stuff anyhow
