Highly placed reviewers from William Shatner to Rolling Stone are chiming in on the release of the trailer for the new sci-fi flick, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” and the feedback is worth following.
First, here’s the trailer:.
Shatner tweeted this poke in the eye, with comical results:
So I hear a bunch of you waited up until the wee hours to watch a certain trailer.

My final thought on the trailer: there’s lots of subliminal letters in the star pattern at the end & there is even Mickey Mouse in the stars

Unfortunately, Capt. Kirk missed the one detail that caught the attention of many fans: the black stormtrooper!

“How about the stormtrooper who just realized he became the third black guy in the galaxy?”

“wtf a black stormtrooper” I guess a lot of ferguson cops watched the trailer

That black stormtrooper’s likely going to be one of the first to die. Black people always die first in hollywood films. @starwars

The first shot being that of a black storm trooper completely erases any lingering negative feelings about #Ferguson #StarWarsEpisodeVII

Rolling Stone got duped when it wrote a review on a fake trailer posted to YouTube a week ago by someone with the username, Romeo Lux. The faux trailer included scenes from previous “Star Wars” films that would have been obvious to any fan of the film series. Apparently, the Rolling Stone reviewer was not among those fans.
