Don't Touch That Dial

7 Questions Asked About The Force Awakens


“The force is strong in my family”

This one line sets the tone for the entire teaser trailer for Star Wars:The Force Awakens. Not only is this iconic in a way that pays homage to the Star Wars we all grew up with, but prepares us for an entirely new adventure. We know who speaks these sweet, sweet words. None other than Luke Skywalker himself Mark Hamill, who goes on to say that his father had it, his sister has it, and an unknown has this power too....

But who could Luke be talking to in this teaser trailer? This whole two minute epic does not answer anything about what is going on in the Skywalker storyline, but rather raises more questions than anything else. There are probably an infinite amount of questions I could ask about this teaser, but let's break it down to just seven.

Lord knows if people actually read any more than that their eyeballs will probably be burned from their skulls like Anakin on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith.

NOOOOOOOOO

#1 Who the f*ck is Luke talking to? His son or daughter perhaps? Maybe he's talking to Han and Leah's offspring. One thing is certain he must be talking to someone in the Skywalker lineage, but we just don't know who yet.

#2 The Starship in the opening sequence, you know the one flown in to the desert sand. Is this an old ship from the war against the empire that was never dealt with? Or is this a ship that is from a current space battle resulting in it's demise. What we do know is that it's eerily been laid to rest on what looks like Tatooine

#3 Seriously, how much fun does that pilot sound like he's having in the X-Wing? I know I'd probably react the same way if I was ever given the opportunity to fly one of those bad boys.

#4 Who is this menacing looking Sith figure we see at 1:11 in the video? I get that he's leading the revamped Storm Troopers, but just who in the hell is this guy?

#5 Flip through the trailer real fast and get to 1:15, do you see it? That Storm Trooper flying through the air like a rag doll after the explosion? Do you think he's okay? I'm going to go out on a whim here and say he didn't make it.

#6 Okay press play again, okay and stop it at 1:20, what the hell J.J. What is this little droid you've come up with? Are we playing FIFA? No we're not this isn't the World Cup this is Star Wars get with the program dude.

#7 Wait for it....Ah Damn that's a fine nerdgasm, “Chewie, We're Home” This is already celebrated everywhere online as one of the best line from, not just the trailer, but most certainly the whole motion picture. My question here is, did you get shivers down your spine? Are you swelling manly tears from your eyes?

I know you are it's okay. You don't have to admit it, I know what's in your heart.

Even though the trailer raises more questions than answers, one thing is absolutely clear. We all have this incredible urge to jump out of our seats and start cheering at the very thought of a new adventure in a galaxy far, far away.
