There’s the usual fan-boy love for the trailer, but it’s the addition of a black Stormtrooper that’s giving us the funniest tweets:
Tough times racially right now in the world but I'm encouraged when I see that black dude pop up as a Storm Trooper in the Star Wars trailer

@noelcamille I love that it opens with my guy from Attack the Block as a Black Stormtrooper

Why the Black guy Storm Trooper gotta be lost in the desert, though? Maybe he’s Mace Windu’s grandson on the low.
