You've reminded me of The Force Awakens teaser trailer. Only a few shots of the main characters with no idea of the story at all.
This also carries on to the next 2½ minute trailer with no clues to the story really. I thought they were well done.
Oh yea! The hype going into the sequel trilogy was very real and a lot of that was the trailer game. I remember seeing this for the first time! It alone probably carried me into about halfway through RoS!
Oh man, I just watched the 2.5 minute trailer ... that shit still works! Had me nearly wanting to watch the sequels trilogy again. The promise/potential of that trilogy was soooo high. I'd only made the connection now, but in hindsight there's real Game of Thrones season 8 energy around the whole thing now. Like even with the Finn jedi fake out, it would have been so much more interesting if he were also a jedi of some sort rather than just "vaguely force sensitive" or whatever.
Now that I think of it, one might even make a teaser an unrelated spin-off to kind of give an impression but not spoil the story.
I wonder if it has been done that way already
