By today, we mean the entire weekend.
So, the newest Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer arrived this week, and while it didn’t quite break the internet (the ticket sales had that honor), it sure did excite a whole bunch of people. Laughs were had, tears were shed, but we can all agree it was a strong trailer that will hopefully carry us over the hump until the film’s release.

The latest by youtuber Medley Weaver replicates it with footage and dialogue from the original trilogy… and it’s surprisingly poignant.

Of course, as much as we love this trailer it isn’t our all time favorite mash up. That honor belongs to the Star Wars trailer in the style of Guardians of the Galaxy, which really brings out all the fun we love about the series:
