Pretty cool. I love the Speaker's scene - tantalizing.
Also, you are correct - your Guardian looks like grumpy cat. I did not see it in the stills you posted, but in action...oh yeah.
Whoops, forgot a couple of observations...
1. A guardian's pre-ressurection history will be fertile ground for fan fiction
2. It never occurred to me before that the Traveller may have been running, hiding on Mars. It never occurred to me that the Traveller may have been defeated before creating the ghosts. Makes it more interesting, IMO.
3. The ghost scans skeletons, leading me to believe that we are resurrected straight from bones. That's pretty interesting.
Does one get a different resurrection intro based on race (i.e. Exo, Human, Awoken)? I'm guessing your character is...Awoken?

Yeah I was trying to understand this earlier, it looks like the ghosts do resurrect us from the soil from the perspective given in the intro video. So is the purpose of the ghosts to set out and resurrect guardians? and what are the guardians if they didn't resurrect the skeleton in the intro?

The Ghosts resurrect them from the location of their eternal 'souls.'
Mythic Science Fiction.

Well this is what I've surmised from the cutscenes, the Grimoire cards and what Bungie has said about the game in the past. Some things just 'are' in the world and they don't try and explain them (at least not so far, and hopefully never) - "The Traveler's Light" just is. Like 'The Force' was in Star Wars pre-midichlorians.
So, humans have some sort of eternal 'soul' separate from their body - which is how the Guardians can come back initially and again each time they die. But that resurrection isn't free or easy to accomplish. Therefore only some dead humans come back as Guardians. Some Guardians do die permanently as well (again) - as evidenced by the dead Ghosts lying around and the incomplete Guardian missions you pick up during the Story. Souls are probably what separates the Exo from other robots we see in the Tower, I bet.
Fallen seem to have 'souls' in some sense as well: you can see them 'screaming out of their bodies' when you score a headshot (to use Bungie's description). Your commander on the Devil's Lair Strike mentions that you should 'send their souls screaming back to hell.' Literally or figuratively I don't know, but the idea of a soul certainly has great currency in the world of Destiny.
