Kurt’s Blog: I Shouldn’t Be This Excited for a Preview of a Preview

The teaser for the “Star Wars: Rogue One” trailer was released yesterday…

Yes…a preview of a preview…it sounds like some sort of Dr. Seuss gag…yet, it works.

Here’s 8-9 seconds of Star Wars: Rogue One…

It says the title…it shows a stormtrooper in black armor…and that’s it.

That’s it.

Yet…I am jumping out of my chair with excitement.

Seriously…they could have written a movie that was called “Star Wars: Nothing Happens”…and I’d still be jumping out of my chair.

Well played Star Wars Marketing Machine…you’ve beaten me…and I love it.
