Also I have a question.

How the fuck do people forget that the Jedi and Sith are real in starwars? They've kind of been responsible for a lot of war, death, and suffering in the galaxy. They even played a significant part in the GCW with Vader being a very visible enforcer of the Empire and Luke being a prominent figure in the rebellion.
It's big galaxy. Even during the Clone Wars, when there were thousands of Jedi, they were very sparsely used, and were mostly assuming combat roles. Very rarely did the ever interact with citizens, so Jedi were still just rumors and eye-witness accounts for a large portion of the galaxy. In this case, it looks like Rey comes from a pretty isolated world (Jakku), where I'm sure it's just all stories and very little actual evidence of their existence. This is even more severe with the Sith, who most people didn't even know existed because, first, there were only two of them, and second, because they never publicly revealed themselves. There was an episode of the Clone Wars where Maul and his brother go on a raid and ransack a ship, and the survivors, when asked by Obi Wan, asked if they were just "Rogue Jedi." Most civilians have no clue that they even exist.

It's not like they really flaunted their powers for the entire world to see. It's possible the majority of the rebellion wasn't even aware of Luke being a jedi.

On the topic of the trailer, this shit was so fucking awesome.

I don't know any more about the plot of the movie than I already did, and that's what trailers are suppose to do.

The Jedi have only been gone from the galaxy for about 40 years at this point. There would be a wealth of evidence supporting their existence on the holonet due to them protecting and serving the republic for thousands of years and being involved in multiple galaxy spanning wars. Especially in the clone wars where you had thousands of them running around waving their jedi dicks in the air like they just don't care.

My assumption is that they want to play off of the OT where the history of the Jedi and Sith wasn't really gone into and thus allowed them to remain a somewhat mysterious entity, but the existence of the prequel trilogy ends up causing some major inconsistencies.

I'm not really going to have a big argument about the practicality of why people are so unfamiliar with the Jedi, Sith, and the Force in general. It's fiction. "Everyone would've seen them through the holonet!" Yeah, in the real world, but it's Star Wars. For whatever reason, not everyone seems to have access to that information so easily. Plus, in the new Lando comics, he speaks to an old librarian who studied and kept Jedi artifacts. He explained to Lando that once the Empire rose, his collections, data, and archives were either destroyed, or confiscated. The Empire lied about everything regarding the Jedi's rebellion after Order 66, so we know they're obviously very good at keeping the public ill-informed about what really goes on in war time.

For anyone wondering, Maz Kanata was the one narrating the trailer.

I thought it was Leia, but a lot of people say it was her, instead.

You're bringing up inconsistencies that already existed before this i.e. Han Solo saying he doesn't believe in the force and Luke having no idea what it even was in the original film.

I never said it didn't affect the OT as well. The prequels caused a lot of consistency problems for them as well.

Yeah. I assumed they're going to try to be more true to the OT wherever possible and based on these trailers, that seems to be the case.

Actually, think about it like this. The fall of the Jedi happened around the same time Luke and Leia were born. Luke was about twenty when ANH happened. I would assume its been about 5 years when RotJ came out. Them you add another thirty years because thats how much the characters probably aged who knows.

Its been about 60 years.. 60 years is enough, especially in the outerrim which relies on, apparently, outdated technology. Theres the core planets like Coruscant, and then there are planets like Kashyyyk that didnt even have contact with Republic planets until a few years before KOTOR. Theyre also still relatively primitive in Episode 3.

This means things like Holonet and communication devices similar might not exist in said worlds.
It has also been said that the fall of the Emperor and so on took years for it to actually reach everyone, and hell, a lot of people didnt even know the Empire was falling.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
I'll watch it online someday

In his defense, it wasn't named "Star Wars Episode VII Trailer."

Ah, I see. It didn't have Star Wars in the title, so I didn't find it with a quick search.

Going to the midnight showings.  I don't care if the trailers "don't show enough" (because why be like every other trailer that basically puts the whole movie, or the best scenes, in the trailer itself.)  This movie looks like it will be great.  I had my doubts with JJ Abrams, but after seeing these trailers and hearing that he's filming organically instead of having every scene be in the green screen studio next to the break room, I'm hyped.

Harrison Ford's goofy-looking old-ass face killed it for me.

I hate that he's in this movie--just for the sake of nostalgia pandering.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill are both in it too. But for the story, considering the monumental nature of both the OT and what VII seems to be doing, it would make sense for them to be involved.

I gueeeessssss.

At any rate, I have high hopes for this... female character (name?), and whether she'll be able to top Mad Max for having the strongest female representation of 2015.

Come on, they have to be included in the new trilogy to some degree. They were such a massively important aspect of what shaped the Star Wars universe that it wouldn't make any sense not to still have their characters or, at least, influence, be included in the next three films. Especially considering that they're all still alive, and the only people left who really have any knowledge of the Jedi and Sith; they sort of have to be the teachers.

By the way, the name of Daisy Ridley's character is Rey.
