Huge SW nerd here. I have no issue with the Lightsaber, could care less.

The trailer tbh did nothing for me. I didnt get goosebumps or chills of excitement, it didn't really elicit any SW emotions. I did not like the cinematography and it just felt like a JJ film.

Im optimistic but I thought this trailer was meh. Hell even episode 1 TEASER trailer was light years beyond this and felt like SW. This felt like a teaser for another JJ Star Trek movie.

I pretty much agree. Except the new "gimmick" lightsaber just looks dumb, IMO. Maybe I will change my mind when I see the whole movie.

 

[JesseZao]

Trolls on Twitter love going out of their way to get a reaction out of people. This is par for the course. It's better to ignore than engage this type of shit.

Seriously. We don't need to see it more than zero times.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Disgusting.









It's Jawa juice.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Derp

 

[Haloid1177]

Soooo, are we going with Sydow as the voiceover? Hold out hope for a Cumber special guest?

Thought we were going Serkis.

*Intergalactic Twitter racist*

Well there it is.

Next we're gonna have people bitching about the female lead. So ridiculous.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Looks like a Magnum Ice cream.

lol

 

[Salsa]

well just talked to my dad ahd he loved it

 

[LastNac]

Well, that's coming to TOR which launched pre EU cull. I doubt it counts.

Not to mention Regan was all but in TCW.

TOR and KotOR. Guilt by association.

 

[devon the dude]

I hope that's how it actually looks and it's not just a case of unfinished CG. I like how fiery and unstable it appears.

That's how I viewed the light saber, as unstable, which is why it was coming out of the hilt

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Without the ignited hilt:

 

[Coreda]

Who the fuck is this

Someone who doesn't need all the attention.

Without the ignited hilt:

Would look different without the base parts, if we're comparing vanilla vs crossguards.

 

[gutter_trash]

when the Empire is less racist than you...

 

[legacyzero]

Disgusting.









It's Jawa juice.

LMFAO

 

[TheKaeptain]

For a movie that just finished wrapping a few weeks ago the CG looks really good. Can't wait to see the how amazing they look in the final product.

 

[MrBadger]

Nope. It really, really, is not.

Shit, I thought that's what it was. Made me do a double take.

 

[- J - D -]

But how does it stack up to the Phantom Menace teaser?

SPOILER since it shows a location, but this was the first concept art I'd seen

[SYNTAX182]

Fucking dumbass

 

[Zeyphersan]

That's the dumbest looking lightsaber I've ever seen in my life

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Fucking dumbass

This is what happens when everything you learn about race relations comes from Kevin Smith movies.

It also shows something in the back ground.

 

[daveo42]

This trailer still giving me the feels. I really hope this all works and doesn't suck.

Who the fuck is this

A racist.

The movie that turned an entire generation into cynics

 

[IISANDERII]

She looks very familiar. What's the actresses' name?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Reminds me of all those racist people watching Hunger Games tweeting "did anybody else care less about Rue when you found out she was black?"

 

[Vespene]

"So the Falcon had this white bloomy glow like all the other ships in the galaxy."

"But it suffered from pest problems due to mynocks in asteroid space worm mouths..."

"What if when they replaced the radar dish, they also made it mynock resistant?"

 

[Jarmel]

Seriously though, everyone tripping on the broadsaber or whatever.

These are swords whose entire blade can cut through ANYTHING it touches with zero resistance. People are talking about those two little nubs at the end somehow being more dangerous than the fact the whole goddamn sword (that everybody kees twirling and spinning and waving one-handed like a drum major) will lop off any one of your limbs with all the effort of flicking your wrist.

"You're going to lose a thumb with that!"

Yeah, you'll probably lose the whole palm of your hand with a regular one if your hands get clammy.

And in Phantom Menace we all shit our pants at the idea the saber had another jet of atom-splitting laser-plasma or whatever sticking out the other side, thus DOUBLING the possibilities you could de-limb yourself, and nobody was like "That doesn't seem very safe."

Of course it's not safe, it's a fucking sword made out of lasers.

So weird, fans of a film series many consider to be their gateway into fantasy, stumbling over what should be, by now, easy leaps of imagination.

Aren't lightsabers supposed to be impossible to use in combat canonically if you're not a Force user? There's something about how the lack of weight and speed in which you're operating, that you would need the Force to use it.

 

[HeySeuss]

I don't get the hate for the light saber hilt. That's how many swords are made and it protects the user from having someone slide down the blade with another sword and lopping your arm off.

It has a specific function and I always wondered why they never had one like that before. I don't think it's any more unrealistic than the light saber itself.

 

[curb]

Not to mention Regan was all but in TCW.

TOR and KotOR. Guilt by association.

I still think that's a stretch. I think Revan almost being in Clone Wars hardly counts. Besides, I really doubt the nitty gritty of TCW will have any impact on what goes into the new films.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Really liking the X-Wings. And I also like the flame thing on the lightsaber. I think that looks cool.

 

[bananafactory]

She looks very familiar. What's the actresses' name?

Daisy Ridley

 

[Fliesen]

It also shows something in the back ground.

exactly. Nothing we haven't seen yet, still allows for making "connections" and assumptions about the story. thanks for putting it as a link.

 

[kris.]

Not a single lens flare in that whole trailer.

DAT FALCON

DEM X-WINGS

YES LAWD

SO MUCH HYPE

 

[Digital-Hero]

The music is pure SW, Williams apparently wrote it specifically for the trailer.

2013 interview in case you missed it.

[BigDug13]

Looks like a Magnum Ice cream.

It looks like if the speeder company that made Luke's land speeder also made a motorcycle.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

I love how they kept the x-wing rebel outfit.

I'M FEELING IT

 

[Salsa]

Ridley looks great but you dont know her, she's the Hayden chrishtihasth of this film

except.. good? maybe? please?

I think people don't like how a normal cross-guard won't cut off your hands if you slip.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Haha well that's an ...interesting point of view.

And by interesting I mean fucking mentally challenged.

I strongly doubt you've seen her before. She's been like like, nothing.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Without the ignited hilt:

That looks much better. Why not just make the crossguard out of resistant material?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

As someone who's only really gotten into the "core" things plus the Jedi Knight games I'm not overly sad to see it all go in favor of a blank canvas for more movies. That being said, I totally get peoples' love for the expanded stuff and can see why just tossing it all out would be hard on them.

Intellectually, I can appreciate the EU fanbase wasn't humongous, and I understand why they went for the blank canvas as you mentioned, but it definitely does make me a little sad.

 

[FeD.nL]

The racist comments on IMDB.. I mean wtf.. I know it's IMDB but still what is wrong with people?

 

[jackal27]

Wondering if the sith could be Gwendoline Christie. Certainly has that hulking, power house feel. She would be a sweet sith for sure.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Looks okay. It was more of a trailer to show off the special effects (which are great), ut I am intrigued by a story that humanises the stormtroopers.
