Dan alluded to this "Star Wars bullshit" in the Morning News, but it's basically the only thing on the internet today, so let's take a moment to reflect on the new Star Wars teaser trailer:

Counting all the black screen, there's probably just something like 40 seconds of footage in this trailer, but that's not stopping people from obsessively tearing every single shot apart. (And they're also debating who's doing the voice-over in the trailer; a lot of people are saying it's Benedict Cumberbatch, who supposedly isn't even involved with this production.) Why are all the starships fighting in a planet's atmosphere, instead of, you know, warring in the stars? Isn't that T-shaped lightsaber impractical? Why are adults arguing over whether a magical laser-sword is impractical or not, anyway? Why didn't we get to see any of the old cast in this trailer? Why didn't they just release the whole movie over the internet right now, for free? Why? Why, God, why?

All this discussion will be rendered moot when Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters a little over a year from now. But until then! We speculate.
