People keep whining about the lightsaber, in a universe where you have giant slow walking armored camels that have guns that only shoot forward.

There's nothing else to argue about since everything else looks good :(


New saber is fine. General Grievous maxed the ridiculous out for the entire series.
 
They'll probably add what he/she is looking at later. But right now it looks like he's got a vendetta against that little skinny tree. I'm picturing the tree sprouting light sabers from its branches in preparation for the duel.

I'm assuming they've sensed someone behind them or who is invisible or something.

Maybe there's something in the ground?
Vader's tomb mayhaps
 
I have watched this trailer 10 times so far today.

I can't get over just how fucking good it is. FAR FAR better than I anticipated. It really has that original trilogy Star Wars feel to it. The atmosphere looks perfect. If the final film is as good as this trailer JJ Abrams better not walk away from these films......
 
Went on an internet blackout all day so I could see it in the theatre.

Saw it once with Birdman (AMAZING film), then as we were on our way out we noticed Foxcatcher was starting, so we popped in there and watched it again.

Still feels like a dream. I've watched it again on YouTube and I still can't believe it.

The Millennium Falcon shot is so beautiful.
 
I actually like the look of the lightsaber. If you look at the energy beams, they look pretty rough compared to the usual lightsabers we've seen in the past.
 
I loved every bit of this trailer, even the lightsaber. I can't fucking wait for this movie.

But seriously, the lightsaber looks almost like a claymore. That shit's badass!
 
That lightsaber looks like trash. It's like he stuck two of those five dollar fake lightsabers you can get from souvenir shops on the side of the hilt. And their delayed ignition is hilarious as if those two puny bands of light are somehow dramatic or badass.

exactly my feel. like the delay would make a little bit of sense if energy was traveling up through the hilt and ignited that part first, then the blade. instead it's the other way around. it telegraphs what it wants the audience to think.
 
The lightsaber reveal was badass and didn't immediately give away anything other than a new version of a lightsaber. I'm not old enough to remember, but I'm sure people were upset with Darth Maul's dual lightsabers and I thought his scenes were some of the most interesting in The Phantom Menace.

This new lightsaber is going to give us some amazing new fight scenes
 
Really digging the movement from the Sith dude. A nice change from the typical samurai stance we always get.

Sick shot. Seriously this whole trailer is filmed with some gorgeous cinematography in my opinion. The Millennium Falcon scene, the X-Wings soaring barely above the water, this ominous ass shot of the new Sith..........goosebumps.
 
Add me to the love the way the Sith walks club too. It looks like a man who is furious at something, as if he had been walking for a long time and finally reached his destination and wants to destroy it.
 
Yeah the way the side bits come out of the lightsaber a whole one second later looks completely ridiculous. I've already cancelled my pre-order since this looks like a movie for idiots who don't know how real lightsabers work.
 
I'm not sure if this has already been said but it's been confirmed by the studio that it was indeed Andy Serkis doing the voiceover.
