The stretching stars is only seen just as a ship enters and exits hyperspace, showing the ship's acceleration/deceleration. However, once lightspeed is achieved , all that can be seen is the cloudy blue hyperspace tunnel (whether inside the ship or not). Entering hyperspace (as seen in the third Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer [this video] ): [LINK] Exiting hyperspace (as seen in Return of the Jedi [LINK] ): [LINK]
Cites Nikos · 2015-12 · Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange · on “Trailer music on The Force Awakens Soundtrack”
In the final trailer, we can hear at 1:05 Han and Leia’s theme, and at 1:21 Binary sunset (or The Force) Theme. Both are re-edited (re-scored) editions. The soundtrack from the movie has been released, but I can’t find these two versions of the music. Are they publicly available? Can someone help me find them?
Cites DaaaahWhoosh · 2016-02 · Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange · on “Did The Force Awakens use any screen wipes to transition from scene to scene?”
In the first shot of the official trailer [this video] , there is a shot of Rey opening an access panel, which serves as a transition from what appears to be a shot from space. As I recall, this scene was in the film (though I can't remember what happened right before), and I think it classifies as a wipe transition, though it's not as blatant as the ones in Revenge of the Sith .
