Oh my god that new Star Wars trailer is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen
I really don’t want to exaggerate, but the first word that comes to mind when describing the new Star Wars trailer is “historic.” As I look back decades from now on my experience watching film in the 2010s, today will come to mind.
