Turning that video up to 1080p gives a pretty clear image of the 'white vans' that'll be playing a large role in this and Rogue One. Definitely an interesting design.

That's awesome.

Here's a 1080 still of the shot.

Yeah; and are those some sort of quadruped walkers over on the RH side?

Good spotting Matt. I think you're right on that one. There's something about their stance that just doesn't seem right to me though?

That looks fantastic! Really shows off the scope of the First Order, I would never have guessed the parade was anything on that sort of scale from the first shot in the previous teaser but having seen this now just...wow!

They look like they could be next generation AT-ATs? Most of the other vehicles seem to follow directly on from ones in the OT so I guess it could make sense. Not sure about the design though, they almost look like they're trying to do the splits, I guess when we see better images later on we'll have a better idea of what they are and what they actually look like.

Based on my own speculation, here's my own breakdown of the shot (of what i can at least identify)

Enjoy.

That's a great image.

The long, flat, almost swamp boat-like craft on the left are intriguing. Are those walkers at right or perhaps tower gun emplacements? They're probably walkers, as you guys say, but that weird wide stance has me wondering. Maybe that's the equivalent of a squatting pose for crew to embark and disembark? Curious. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to seeing all this cool hardware in action soon, and hopefully owning some cool toys of them, come September 5th. :)
