Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
J.J. Abrams probably could have just assembled his cast on stage, given some updates on Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, and shown a "the effects are in place, but you get the idea" clip and the crowd would have been satiated. Abrams surpassed on expectations by allowing a secret or two to be revealed, such as the nature of Domhnall Gleeson's character and the name of the base at which he’s stationed (Starkiller Base), bringing out the practical character Baba Joe, ceding the microphone to Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and a fully healed Harrison Ford, and then revealing a featurette which made you feel like you were on set for three and a half minutes.
