Well, you were more perceptive than me. I was over the moon at the visual innovations of blockbuster setpieces (Star Destroyer wreck, X-wing scenes) and thought the way the trailer was structured proved that JJ understood the spirit of Star Wars. By the time I walked out of the theater I had already realized I would have to cover up my disappointment and confusion in front of friends. Then the horror of it sunk in pretty quickly after that.
