Buh... Wuh...  Huh?!

Good trailer and while I know this will probably upset jj fans, I really hope jj doesn't upset starwars fans like he did with startrek. It would be hard to ruin starwars and really it should of been impossible with startrek... But we shall see come December.

I saw episodes 1-3... It's not really that hard to ruin Star Wars.  And that's without even getting into the more awful bits of the EU, like that whole big event with aliens from outside the galaxy/universe invading and Jacen Solo's character getting screwed over allegedly due to objections from on high against having another evil Anakin.

Buh... Wuh...  Huh?!

I got it :). Its a joke about the lingering shots of people's hands.  Jose in Firefly and Serenity would follow River's bare feet a lot

Watched some of the panels at he Star Wars celebration.  And one thing really jumps out at the difference with Abrhams and Lucas in their takes on using CGI.  JJ actually had a real remote controlled BB-8 that they rolled out onto stage with R2-D2.  He talked about how he felt it was important that the actors had something to play off of in those scenes.  Compare that to Lucas, to quote the DVD commentary of one of the prequels "We were able to knock off the actor stuff by noon so we could get to the real important stuff, the FX"

Didn't notice the lingering shots in either case.

But in all the lead up to the new Star Wars, the focus on practical FX critters is something that's kept me interested.
