Originally published on Lazygamer.net A good trailer needs to set a mood. To get your heart beating, and your fandom swelling.

And if yesterday’s pics hinted at the identities of certain characters, this time they outright …
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU! Yes, it’s Star Wars Day, but it didn’t get off to the best start today thanks to a certain “erratic” director’s not so fantastic behaviour. But fret not, as we actually have some good news for Star Wars fans this time around! Vanity Fair will be featuring the cast of Star Wars: The Force …

Yes, that’s right. I am in fact a non-hipster Capetonian, and contrary to popular …
