Trying so hard not to be too hyped. Must remember: the prequel trailers looked good too.

This is probably the most excited I've been for Star Wars since they released the trailer for Phantom Menace. Even the announcement of this and the first trailer I just felt "meh". This one... gives me a new hope.
He says "My Father" with the Vader Helmet, and "I have it" is his robotic hand on R2's head.
Alright, we're good here. Fade likes it. Hype train is officially rolling on full steam ahead.
Do Jawas roam the entire planet?
In Star Wars it's easy to forget that even small planets are huge for individual humanoids on them.

No, it is a planet called Jakku.

Large sections of it do seem to be missing... Don't forget that ISD is 1600 meters long. Maybe they're worried it will collapse on them.
Or maybe it's radioactive.
Or it is not Tattoine.

Or that. Also Tatooine has one less T and one more O, guys.
Even if this were Tatooine: We're making a big assumption that Destroyer has been there for any length of time. It could have just crashed there for all we know.
My thinking is this shot is chronologically just before the opening shot of the first teaser:

How does this work? Magnets? I don't understand.

Wait, is that Luke narrating then?
And me here thinking they retconed Luke getting it on with a red head... coz none of the kids are gingers.
Well, you can consider everything in the EU preemtively retconned so, you know...
Even assuming its his kid he's talking to, and assuming the mother is a redhead (which doesn't make a bit of a difference to the story if they decided to change it), red hair is a very recessive gene. One parent having the gene isn't enough. And we have seen what Luke's parents look like, what his sister looks like, and even what his grandma looked like. No evidence of the red hair gene on that side of the family.
My response when I first saw it:
Then, I remembered the Phantom Menace trailer and my response became more nuanced. It is now mostly this.

I was waiting for someone to give me crap about misspelling Tatooine. I saw it, and the lack of a question mark, but I was too lazy to go edit.[DOUBLEPOST=1429276343,1429275812][/DOUBLEPOST]That opening music still raises goosebumps.
If they screw this up, I'll be bummed but not surprised.
It's pretty obviously Luke narrating. He says my father had it, and it shows Vader's helmet. I have it, and we see a robed figure with a robotic hand with R2-D2, so obviously meant to be Luke. "My sister has it" accompanies a shot of a female hand handing what looks like Luke's old lightsaber to a kid, suggesting that hand is Leia, "and now you have it." So my guess is Luke is talking to his niece/nephew, since Leia was giving the kid a lightsaber.
I thought so as well.
Do you think we'll get to hear him say, "Luke Skywalker. That's a name I haven't heard in a long time," at some point?

That's Vader's lightsaber.
