Star Wars: The Force Awakens Comic Con Trailer Breakdown – 46 Things You Need To See

16. The Falcon Or An AT-AT?

The other most intriguing shot from the trailer. 

Some comments and breakdowns on the footage have suggested that this shows Rey piloting the Falcon, with the windows removed from the rig to capture close-ups. But there's another possibility that is all the more interesting.

The shape of the rig Ridley is sitting in, and more importantly the way it moves feels far more like a head on a neck, suggesting, quite wonderfully, that this could in fact be a shot of Ridley piloting an AT-AT walker.

If that's not the answer (it might well simply be that this rig is indeed the Falcon), then the question of why there's so much movement in the cockpit seems fairly pressing. It's not a gun turret, because the windows are wrong.
