Just split timeline shit and justify the EU works that way.

I fail to see how the European Union has any impact on the Star Wars galaxy.

Lets see if I can do a basic summary without being too spoilery. The trailer helped to confirm some of the leaked story details and the leaked concept art.

The actors in the teaser;

Andy Serkis - The narrator and who is thought to be the main villain of the series (the man behind the curtain or the new "emperor")
John Boyega - An Imperial soldier (Stormtrooper) who has a life-altering event and begins to question everything he knows
Daisy Ridley - A scrap scavenger whose path of life changes when she meets John Boyega
Adam Driver - The dark figure on the ice planet with the Highlander Lightsaber
Let's throw the droid in this - Probably a faithful companion of Daisy Ridley

Timeline of the scenes shown;

All of the Tatooine scenes are from the first part of the film (including the Stormtrooper drop ship), New X-Wings (they're slimmer compared to OT) over the body of water is the middle, Sith on the ice planet is at the end.

Now lets be spoilery (not all of this may turn out to be true, but I have a good feeling a lot of it is)

Spoiler: show

The civil war didn't end with the death of the Emperor and Vader. It is still an ongoing conflict. Luke did go into "hiding" shortly after the battle at Endor. The Sith Inquisitors (as seen in Rebels) are still hunting Jedi.

The current theory is that John's character had crash landed a tie fighter on Tatooine during a battle above (on?) the planet (which honestly makes no sense as he's not wearing the correct gear). While wandering the desert, Daisy comes upon him while searching for scrap. She nurses him back to health and in turn he helps her out. One day they find a lightsaber and take it to Daisy's boss/master, Max von Sydow (a cyborg who is thought to be an undercover Inquisitor), to gather information on it. Some point after that they come across Han & Chewy (who have since gone their separate ways with the Republic) who recognize the lightsaber to be Luke's. The Imperials catch wind of Han & Chewy's emergence and begin to hunt them. With Daisy & John in tow, they flee Tatooine in search of information on how to find Luke.
Upon finding Luke they discover that he has gone crazy from the events that took place during the OT. When Luke sees that Daisy & John have the potential to become Jedi, his mind eases and he begins to prepare them for their training. He also tells them a story about the Inquisitors and how they came to be (cue Vader flashback). Eventually John's former commanding officer, Gwendoline Christie, discovers them and reveals that she has an connection to the force (although it's very much the dark side). Something something battle, Lupita Nyong’o, who is an active Inquisitor, shows up and joins in.
The final battle of the film takes place on an ice planet with a powerful Sith.

Spoiler: show

apparently Max von Sydow's character is horribly disfiguered and mostly cybernetic due to horrific injuries recieved in the past

Spoiler: show

Probably from falling into a sarlacc pit : x

I actually have no idea what any of the acronyms that have been used mean, but I know EU isn't in regards to the European Union. it's just a pet peeve of mine when people throw out acronyms and just assume everyone will know what they are talking about.

I guessed "End User"

Extended Universe.

Don't worry though, I lol'd at the European Union joke.

[FNH]

In this day and age where you can slap "star wars EU" into google and the first result tells you what the acronym meant doesn't seem like they are trying to alienate anyone.

The very end of the Force Awakens trailer fades out as we hear the sound of a lightsaber igniting. In fact, it’s one of the first lightsaber sounds we ever heard — that’s the sound from the 1977 Star Wars, when Luke ignites the saber handed over to him by Obi Wan Kenobi.

There’s been a lot of talk about Luke’s role in The Force Awakens, and even specifically about the role his original lightsaber could play in the story. None of that is confirmed at this point, but knowing that we hear that specific sound in the trailer won’t quiet the speculation. Sure, it could just be a good way to call back to the 1977 original, but when this trailer obviously chooses every moment with specific consideration, is that all the sound is meant to be?
