So, your grand behind-the-scenes theory is that....over 20 years ago, they were making a character they weren't even sure would work technically (first fully-CGI character), weren't sure would land comically, for a movie they had no idea how it would be received, at the start of a prequel trilogy of films they had no idea how long would take them to make....so that said character could become a villain in a sequel trilogy of movies that George was vocally adamant about never ever being made? Okay then.
I suppose the saucer people and the reverse vampires are also in on the conspiracy.

'Darth Jar Jar' is a stupid internet thing that took off in 2015, which was never George Lucas's idea or intent."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

Those aren't First Order Star Destroyers. Those are Imperial Star Destroyers, and not even recent ones.
The First Order Star Destroyers (Resurgent-class) appeared in TFA and TLJ, and look like this.
The ones in this trailer are Imperial-I class Star Destroyers, which we've only seen depicted on screen in Rebels, Rogue One, and ANH. By the time of ESB/ROTJ, they had been phased out in favour of the Imperial-II class (note the different comm arrays atop the bridge tower - you can clearly see the -I type comm towers in this new TRoS teaser).
And with the TFA/TLJ being set 34 years post-ANH....why on Earth is a fleet of 40+ year old warships appearing here? Something to do with Palpatine's return? Maybe something to do with the Contingency/Operation Cinder?
I can't wait to find out!
but
in ep 8 when Leia said they were headed to the outer rim to find some possible allies, it is possible it could be the Mandalorians.. as in official military of, not bounty hunters
the empire did have a presence there when mandalore was still loyal to the empire (seen in rebels), could be possible that they kept and maintained whatever ships were left there when they became independent
but then, i guess JJ can just make them be whoever he wants them to be
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and the 'dark Rey' with the double sided sabre? any thoughts on whether this is 'real' or a force vision/dream?

A handful of thoughts....
- I bet that was meant to be Leia's (or possibly Luke's) Endor helmet at the beginning
- three films in and Rey and Ren's lightsaber fighting still looks awkward
- more Palps and I still can't figure out how he fits into this
- ooo the Star Destroyer rising up out of the ice/water!
- holy crap, the Ghost is in that giant fleet shot!
