No one was more moved by the new Star Wars trailer, it turns out, than Joseph A “Coop” Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), salt-of-the-earth protagonist of Christopher Nolan’s lengthy sci-fi opus Interstellar. Coop apparently watched the trailer in the same booth where he cries over video emails from his earthbound daughter, Murph, and thus was in something of a fragile state when he saw it, but we wonder what else Coop watched down there.

Did he like the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer? Was he a part of the Skype-style trailer for Unfriended? Was he so freaked out by the promos for It Follows that he started crying?

How did you react when you saw the trailer for Star Wars: the Force Awakens? Were there tears? Chills? Laughs? How did you respond when you saw Han Solo and Chewie appear at the end? Let us know – or better still, upload a video and post a link.
