Here's the second teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens from Star Wars YouTube: There's barely a reveal of Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill), but there's that old voiceover of his from Return of the Jedi talking about how his family is strong in The Force. I can't even describe for you the sentimental feeling I got of seeing Harrison Ford back as Han Solo along with his old friend Chewbacca ( Peter Mayhew) right there with him, and the line used to end the trailer is just perfect. Plus points: this is still miles better than the Last Jedi.After the first teaser trailer blew everyone away back at Thanksgiving, the second teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens finally shows some stuff that fans have been foaming at the mouth to see. In wrestling terms they had a young superstar, jobbed out one of their top guys to him in a retirement match to try and get him over and then gave up on him. The fact they bailed on him as the Big Bad shows what a shit character he was to start with.

He has no redeeming features whatsoever and should have remained the Big Bad throughout the three film arc. And the more I think about the arcs here, the more Kylo Ren was a complete miss for me as a character. She is the rock on which Star Wars 7-9 is built and without her killing it the criticism would be much, much harsher. The glint in her eye as Han Solo 'offers her a job'. Especially Daisy Ridley who kills it here as Lucy Skywalker.

The set up is there but I know they fucked it up so it's hard to enjoy retrospectively. The Force Awakens ultimately suffers from being part of a bad trilogy. The big set up here is Luke Skywalker and we know how badly they fucked that up. In the next film he's all 'haha, look at me with my shirt off'. They set up Kylo Ren as a complete arsehole here. It doesn't help that I know how badly they dropped all these balls. Yeah, it's good but it's so unoriginal that it's tough to love.

That's the biggest problem the Force Awakens still has, 6 years on from its release. Is this because it's so tonally similar to a New Hope? The experienced hand guiding a young sky-staring nobody with a gift into a wider world, only for them to see said mentor cut down in cold blood at the finale.and a Death Star gets blown up prematurely?

How is this? How are these films so unmemorable? The Force Awakens is a genuinely fun Star Wars film but I couldn't even remember what it was called. The closest I came was 'the Force Rises'. Then it came to episodes 7-9 and I couldn't remember a single title. I rattled off the original trilogy immediately and the prequels came pretty quickly too. I did a quiz on Star Wars Day (May the 4th etc) and I had a fill in the blanks for the titles of all the Star Wars movies.
