Calling All Fans: Reaction To The New "Star Wars VII" Trailer

A new trailer for the highly praised "Star Wars: Episode VII" was released last week, and boy does it scream excitement. If you aren't a big fan of the series or story behind "Star Wars," I highly recommend getting into this generational cinematic adventure, especially with all the craze over the brand new trilogy. If you haven't seen it, here is a link to the trailer at the, so make sure to check that out.

Back to the new trailer reaction.

There is a lot going on here. First, we all witness a brief backstory on each of the new characters: Rey, Finn, and the seemingly new villain, Kylo Ren. After seeing and envisioning their "point of views," we get what we want to see in a movie trailer...action. Man, is there a lot of action portrayed in such a short amount of time. So many scenes in this brief promo show snippets of high flying combat that bring us viewers good anxiety and high-strung excitement for the movie.

As a die heart fan of the saga, I'm fricking ecstatic. On a scale from 1 to Mars, my excitement is to Tatooine - get it? My initial reaction was through the roof watching the trailer. Now, after engulging myself in it for numerous times, I've noticed some things that the trailer might leak or hint to certain characters. It's fun to mend different conspiracy theories, but this could give a decent head scratcher.

The thing I noticed, not only after watching this trailer, but the other ones that came out before hand. Why haven't we seen Luke Skywalker in any of the previews? A main component of the original series, has not been seen once in any of the new trilogies' trailers. The conspiracy is out that he might actually be Kylo Ren. (What? Luke...a villain? You can't be serious.) Let's look at it like this -- have you actually seen the face of the supposed new villain? Makes you wonder why you actually haven't seen any part of a massive character in the original saga unless we secretly have and we just didn't put two and two together. Another thing in the trailer that speaks volumes is that you see Rey crying for a split second after what looks like grieving a death. Who dies? Luke? Leia? Chewy? R2D2?

There's just too much to think, to say, and to even do emotionally about the new movies coming out. If you are a lifetime fan like me, you have to be jumping out of your cockpits for this refreshed portrayal and continuation of this generational film. No matter what age you are, these new movies will take it to the bank and you can guarantee that. No doubt will this be the movie of 2015.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
