Re-watch the teaser compared to the trailers of the Force Awakens. The stuff shown here is just there. There's not some sort of heavily emphasized feeling of, "OH HEY, LOOK, IT'S STAR WARS, X-WINGS, TIE-FIGHTERS, MILLENNIUM FALCON."

I should've phrased it as they're not playing off the nostalgia like Force Awakens was. This looks like they're trying to just be painstakingly close to the originals because of continuity, which makes sense.

Force Awakens is a nostalgia fest because it's a rehash of what you've seen before. It's a good rehash, in my opinion, but still a rehash. This looks new and fresh, just set in the same time period with props you've already seen before.

Obviously everyone's going to feel nostalgic about this movie, but it doesn't seem like they're using it as their primary factor to market the film. The Force Awakens did.
