It must've been a very, very slow news day for the news outlets to even take this seriously and consider it to publish this.

I'm not a Star Wars fan, even if I do like the old movies a bit. But if this was some trolling from 4chan, why do everyone else has to go along with them and see this trailer as a red flag? Why don't they dismiss 4chan as the morons they are and go enjoy the movie peacefully? The trailer is the most normal thing I've ever seen, and hell, the movie seems like it's going to be good. Why all this nonsense happened?

Well, I think that's simply where you and most people have gone wrong.  Clearly 4chan isn't filled with morons, they're not the ones who are failing to research news pieces before putting them on national news sites.  And the SJW/Stormfront crowds aren't much better.

I wanted to go with "assholes" instead of "morons" when refering to 4chan, but I thought that would be deemed as inappropriate. You are right that the news outlet failed to do their thing before posting these "news", but why do people don't see thru this fallacy when the trailer has nothing wrong?
