EDIT - Makes me wonder if there was too much focus on Form over Function here?

This is generally the case with TFA.

I build stuff with Lego. One of the side-effects is that I look at things from a perspective of "what's holding this together behind the shell". Check out how they've removed the armour systems on the back of the new trooper armour. The surface details are still there but there's no way they fit anything behind them.

Those chunky pieces on the back of ST armour sure would have made it uncomfortable to sit in a seat or ride in most vehicles. Maybe the new stuff is designed with that in mind, and either dispensed with the old (whatever was under that protruding box thing) or integrated it into the armour more fully and without the pressumed need for maintenance or access. Or the designers of the new suits wanted to make them 'modern' without regard for utility. It could go either way.

Do we even know what that 'backpack' on the armour was for anyway? We never see hoses connected to it or anything that looks like it fits it in any way. Did the STs on Tatooine with the big honking back packs use the armour 'backpack' as a connection point? What about the 'space troopers' outside the docking bay on the first DS, was their external backpack connected to armour using the protrusion 'box' as well?

I can't recall if we ever saw a stormtrooper just sitting around in the OT.

Hence my theory that Poe is on that Star Destroyer at the start, Finn finally sees what the First Order is really about and capable of and decides to split with Poe.

Maybe the First Order has been taking kids and raising them to be troops? Or they've kept their real intentions hidden and young people sign up thinking it's cool and this is the first time Finn has seen how bad they are.

There is a scene in the "Behind the Scenes" video from Comic Con (?) that shows a FO trooper escorting a (suspected) Rebel down a hallway. I can't tell if that's Poe or not, but the Rebel is wearing a jacket that looks just like the one Finn has in the new trailer.

It's definitely Poe in the BTS bit being led in cuffs.

Those dogfighting scenes are quite amazing.

I don't know, there's an awful lot of jousting...

Too much speculation.

You could use spoiler tags and hide stuff...

This is what makes me believe in this movie.

Oh god

How could those bastards do it

Who does he kill there?

She is crying over the body of

Definitely not chewy. The Bandolier is all wrong. Although good point about the first order maybe invading kashyykk,

The other thing to consider is that

Han Solo has finally become the old fossil.

Too much speculation.

Anyone who doesn't want to see speculation kinda needs to avoid threads on the new movie. Anything shown in the trailer is obviously not considered spoiler material (especially taken out of context like this), speculation isn't really a spoiler as it is unconfirmed.

Of course any genuine spoiler should of course be spoiler tagged appropriately.

Am I the only one that gets a little emotional on these trailers when the John Williams music kicks in?

Not in the slightest. The sheer power and beauty of the Star Wars soundtrack is part of what makes it so brilliant as a movie series. It would not nearly be as wonderful as it is if it wasn't for John Williams.
