It’s Black Friday, which may explain the loonnnnggg black stretches between the very short scenes in the newly released teaser trailer for Star wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens.
Or else they’re preparing us for the even fuller title — “The Force Awakens, Rolls Over and Goes Back To Sleep.”
I believe it’s that new digital special effects process, “Narcalopsia.”
Nasty comment follows but everyone knows I’m cynical.
When the original movie came out, the outcry was that there were no “black faces” in the movie. I find it interesting to see that the first thing we in the Episode 7 trailer is a black face. Let’s hope that he is neither a token or a “red shirt extra.”
Regarding the actual clip, it doesn’t really show much except for the MF (?) doing the flip in space. Possibly they want to build up excitement by not starting with a slam-bang clip. We shall see.
I think that ANY comment regarding this trailer would be both premature and speculative…
Having said that, I am enthusiastically, ALL IN!!!!
The storm trooper is played by John Boyega, who is reportedly the main character of the movie.

Meanwhile, we learn than Gollum is the narrator of Episode VII from Yahoo TV’s Drew McWeeny …
“For the record, that is Andy Serkis you hear in the trailer. I was able to verify this, although I was not able to uncover any further information about the role he plays. Here’s what I do know, though. He’s playing a pivotal role in the film, although he will not have a lot of screen time.”
