It's almost the exact same trailer.
I can't find myself agreeing with you on that because ep7 teaser was more gripping - you know people were excited with "Black storm-trooper", "What is that ball robot?", "What is this new lightsaber?", "Yeah! Millennium Falcon is back!"
But ep8 teaser just showed same old stuff. Didn't excite anything, except few theories that Luke might be on the dark side which is is lame, because dark side is all about power and not living some sort of ascetic, humble and secluded life. It even reminded me when ep7 trailer came out and SNL made parody how Luke is living in a cave and walking with a lightstroller.
I mean I don't want to dish on SW. It's nice there's anything going on to make people wander and fantasize what's out there in outer space.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
