Although it was only one minute and thirty seconds
long, the teaser for J.J. Abrams spawned some major buzz, some positive some
negative. However and despite all the differences one thing is certain everyone
would have liked to see even if just a smidgen of the original cast.
Speaking to IGN Star Wars legend Mark Hamill confessed
that he was moved upon seeing a fan reaction video from the teaser.
"Oh my gosh. You know, I’ll tell you, the most
moving aspect of them releasing that trailer was watching a [video] of other
people watching it. My daughter put it on for me. It was all these people
watching the trailer. Sometimes you get sort of isolated and disconnected
because I don’t really follow it as closely as, say, [my son] Nathan does, but
to see those people that thrilled, it was moving to me. I actually got a lump
in my throat watching that. To see so many people that happy was a thrill. And
it’s hard to believe it’s a whole year away that we have to wait but I’m
practicing my phrase, “You have to wait and see.” They asked me not to talk
about it and I agreed but it’s hard. People want to know!"
Hamill also praised the new casting additions to the
Star Wars universe, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, and
Oscar Isaac.
"They’re all wonderful actors. I
think they’ve done such a great job of not only the characters themselves, but
the people they’ve picked to play them. John Boyega is just wonderful and
Daisy, I just think the world of and Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac and Andy
Serkis. They’re just… Like I say, this is in very, very good hands. I’m
vicariously very proud of them even though I have no justification for being
able to be proud!"
