THE HYPE AWAKENS

So the internet broke last Friday and thankfully it had nothing to do with Kim Kardashian. Star Wars Episode VII is upon us and its trailer is better than anyone expected. Here's why:
1.
IN JJ WE TRUST:
Watching Episode III left a bad taste in my mouth that'll perhaps never go away, but J.J. Abrams seems to know exactly what fans want. The whole trailer practically SCREAMS Star Wars and with his experience of decently rebooting fan-favourite franchises (Star Trek), we can be optimistic.
2.
THAT LIGHTSABER:
The design's a little dumb, but it's also very cool, just like everything else in Star Wars. Fans have been speculating whether we'll get to see other weapons, like lightspears, lightwhips or even *gasp*… LIGHT-NUNCHUCKS.
3.
HAN SOLO'S SHIP:
As if getting to see the original cast once again wasn't awesome enough, the trailer, in a moment that had millions of fans around the world squealing out of pure bliss, showed the Millennium Falcon barrel-rolling and dive-bombing into a bunch of TIE fighters. Pure nostalgia.
4.
THE SCORE:
At this point I've come to expect every action movie trailer to be filled with Inception's “BWAAAAAs”. So when the John Williams-scored Star Wars theme music came on, I couldn't help but smile. After 10 long years we're finally getting a new Star Wars movie. This is happening. This is it. GET HYPED!
