Black Friday’s come and they go but something happened
yesterday that made me feel like I was nine years old again. The first teaser trailer for “Star Wars
Episode VII – the Force Awakens” and, as weird as it may sound, I want to thank
J.J. Abrams a year ahead of schedule for evoking all the right elements of a
proper Star Wars experience and strumming all the right chords. He is doing this because of an incredibly
simple reason: J.J. Abrams is a fan. He
saw a movie in 1977 and it changed him and, in turn, he has the unique opportunity
to now influence GENERATIONS of Star Wars fans – both young and old. If this teaser is any indication of things to
come then I believe he just may have succeeded.
So, did you see it?
If, “Yes”, then we’ll talk in a moment.

How about the new designs for the Stormtroopers (or are
then New Republic forces?).
The new X-Wing fighters.
I love the new wing design.
The Light-Claymore.
One would have to be a master to wield one of these – you’d poke your
eye out if it wasn’t so.
And then, right on queue with John Williams unmistakable
score, the MILLENNIUM FALCON! This is
where I turned to jelly. Did you catch
the new sensor dish? That last Death
Star battle at the third moon of Endor took it’s toll. I love the contrails.
Tie Fighters!?
Whose are those?
Star Wars is shared wonder. And I’m looking forward to sharing that
wonder come December 2015.
May the Force be with you.
