Leaked Star Wars Ep VII Footage

Okay, not really. But this vid that Frank Wunderlich posted is pretty awesome.

(Props, too, for my pal Brian for sending me the clip in the first place.)

Yeah-- I haven't forward to a movie this much in a long, long time...

Aliens... Spaceships... Disparate characters coming together... Groot nibbling on himself... Rocket... And a quick shot of Michael-freaking-Rooker at the end... This movie is going to rock and rock hard.
