2. Where's Finn?

Look, it's obvious that this is no more than an emotionally charged mood-board sort of teaser, which isn't supposed to reveal a great deal, but it's still slightly frustrating that we don't get to see more of Finn - particularly after how The Force Awakens ended.

Clearly, he'll spend time recuperating, but other than that, we have pretty much no idea of where his arc is going to go. Complaining about not seeing more in a trailer might be a little redundant, but sue me, I'm a big fan of Finn.

Come to think of it, the trailer was suspiciously light on any new characters too, in an almost provocative way. It's somewhat understandable, since this was Luke's trailer more than anything, but a little drip-feed would have fed the hype beautifully (just as has happened with the new vehicles teased in there).
