So very quickly posting this before I head out the door for the night because Star Wars is back and I could NOT be more excited!!
Feast your eyes on the brand new teaser trailer for The Force Awakens.
I screamed all the way through watching it in pure unadulterated excitement. I'm a big Star Wars fan and ever since J. J. Abrams was signed on I had faith that he would honour the look and feel of the original trilogy and already it looks like he's delivering just that.
The prequels in my opinion were a huge muddled misstep that, rather than enhance and build on the previous trilogy and franchise, managed to bring it to its knees. Now we have what would appear to look like a direct follow on from Return of the Jedi. We've got X-wings, slightly altered Stormtroopers and the biggest hint of all the freaking Millennium Falcon with a noticeably missing satellite dish. This not only looks like the Star Wars we've long waited for but it sounds like it too, the sound effects, that recognisable X-wing noise, it just puts me back in that cinema seat in 1997 when my dad took me to see the Special Edition of A New Hope.
It's relief to see that the powers that be have chosen to at least show some footage from the film for the teaser. In the past Abrams teased Star Trek fans with footage that didn't even feature in the film.
Like many fans I can't wait to see this and December 2015 seems like a real age away, but I'm sure the wait will be well worth it. However in the interim we also have Jurassic World to look forward which I'm not as optimistic about, but once again I find myself transported to my childhood upon seeing a dinosaur theme park fully realised on screen. There seems to be a run of films that have targeted those of us who were kids in the 90's with the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I wonder if Bucky O Hare or Thundercats will get a big screen debut in the next few years?
I wish I had the resilience to not watch any future trailers to keep me surprised come next year, but occupational hazards dictate that this is probably unavoidable. Let me know what you think of Star Wars trailer.
