Had a discussion about this at work. Am I the only one who rooted for the empire in the original trilogy? People thought I was nuts, but the empire had all the cool weapons and excrement.

You have brought this up before and it is still unsurprising you rooted for them. Pretty much all your real world political views would line up with the empire.

What political views? All we knew about the empire is that they were trying to suppress a rebellion. The movies never fully established why there was even a rebellion in the first place.

What?  The Empire gained control by murdering the peacekeepers of the old Republic and instituting a system of rule by fear and intimidation.  They didn't tolerate any dissent.  That's why there was a rebellion.

I'm talking about the original trilogy. We weren't told anything about that.

"The Empire blew up an entire planet of innocent people just to spite one woman who wouldn't give them the location of the rebel base.  I don't get why people have a problem with them!"

Well, Tarkin was a bit of an poopchute, but they still didn't really establish how the empire was fundamentally evil.

Are they going to do more spoiler excrement?  If so, thanks, I'll pass.  These trailers have been glorious and terrible all at once.

What have they spoiled in the trailers? 

The Instagram clip with Finn using a lightsaber is all I can think of.
