If you're a Star Wars fan then do you remember the unbelievable hype from watching the trailers for The Force Awakens?
So much hope, so much potential. With George out of the way then there was no way these new movies could be anything but top tier right?
What stands out to me was just how much mystery surrounded the new characters. Who were they and how did they fit in with the established universe?
To this day I'm convinced Rey was going to be related to Luke in some way and that the main story was meant to be a family feud between the offspring of Leia/Han and whatever relation Rey was to Luke. I swear there was a leaked action figure with real dialogue where Kylo Ren referred to Rey as his cousin but no one ever seemed to mention it again.
Seeing Finn take off his helmet and feeling the potential of a character who used to be a stormtrooper and all the conflicts this could create is another standout memory I have from the trailers.
What do you remember thinking the story might be and who the characters were?
