We’re two weeks into life with Star Wars- The Force Awakens, and it seems like there’s always some new opinion or auxiliary content to read through.  This morning I came across an article listing various concepts and scenes that were included in earlier drafts of TFA but that didn’t make it into the finished product (but will probably resurface twenty years from now when they end up doing “special editions” of the trilogy, I imagine).  Some of the things in the list were also in early trailers, which have become their own kind of business with movies.  I mentioned earlier how much I liked how the movie subverted expectations raised by the trailers.

Trailers have changed a lot since the original trilogy, which makes the following “remake” of the trailer for The Empire Strikes Back so interesting.  I feel like it hits some of the best beats (all while using music from TFA trailers).  You have to admire the creator’s creativity and sensibilities.
