The Force Awakens

Nearly everybody is getting excited for the new episode of Star Wars, and I surely am one of them! It's due in a month and a half, but I already have my ticket reserved for the midnight premiere. There are great expectations to be met by the new installment directed by J.J. Abrams - the guy who, a few years ago, gave you an opportunity to actually see Star Trek, a space opera that had so many episodes it was impossible to find your way around it.

There have been two trailers released, the first one (the one I'm linking here) being more of a teaser perhaps, but I find it much, much better than the other one. It has all there should be in a Star Wars movie: the iconic music, a droid (BB-8, the little white and orange guy you see rolling through the sands, is not a CGI creation, but a real thing that you can actually buy, if you're nerdy enough), a mysterious, lightsaber-wielding antagonist and space ships. 
It also seems that J.J. Abrams is creating images that are much more refined than what we've seen in episodes I through III. Just think of how picturesque that snow-covered forest, or the X-wings' flight over the lake is!
Luckily, this very long month and a half waiting time will be sweetened by a new Star Wars game, Battlefront, released on November 19th.
