Weird trailer. Are those the main actors? I felt like they made a trailer out of the extras.
I'm just saying, if you were gonna create a new type of light saber, why not do something even more significant than just adding a hilt? Por exemplo:
- light whip
- light mace
- light crossbow
- light hammer
- light tonfas
- light nunchucks
- light billy club
- light spear
Look at that. And that took less than 30 seconds to come up with, and nearly all are better ideas than what we got. And I ain't even getting paid for it! Abrams has no excuse.

This looks so much better.Still prefer this edit though.

Anyone else geeking out over the potential for a new Rogue Squadron game after that X-Wing segment?
That little Droid is adorableWhat's cool about this scene is the ruined pod racers in the background. It kind of depicts what the universe of the prequels would have looked like if they followed the real world look and aesthetics of the original trilogy and used real props instead of CGI.

―C-3PX
C-3PX was a Cybot Galactica 3PX-series protocol droid reprogrammed to be an assassin droid.
Aren't you working on this movie anyway? You're still at ILM, right?

You do realize that a lot of that background is also likely CGI?
This is Oscar Isaac, right?

Things like this help lighten the pain that is the erasure of the EU.
I mean...C-3PX reads like a bad fan fiction.

oooohhh
Those are real props dude. I'm even pretty sure that little droid is real or at least partially real.
I'm cool with Darth Maul surviving, because his "death" was a joke, but that design is just plain bad.![]()
oooohhh

To be fair it looks just like one of sets for the leaked photos.

Damnit, this is why I usually stay out of these threads. Can't tell who's being serious or just trolling given my prior stint at ILM. :/
He looks just like Zev Senesca:

Which are almost always digitally enhanced, touched up, or modified in post. I've seen enough JJ shot reviews to know better.

Holy hell is this going to wipe those awful prequels away.
Ehh, people shit on the prequels a lot for overusing CG and while the last two are definitely guilty of that I thought the Phantom Menace did a pretty good job balancing practical with CG.
I love the fact that I can't tell what practical and what's CG about that little guy. The line is completely blurred for me.
Roger roger.
I haven't watched them since I saw them at the theater. I don't even remember them anymore. Effectively purged from my memory with the exception of some of the character's faces. I don't recall the plots, dialog, scenes, etc. Feels good, man.
No, Phantom Menace was a fucking mess with its overdone CG. Absolutely an abomination.
Agreed. Most of Tatooine in TPM is actually pretty solid looking.Ehh, people shit on the prequels a lot for overusing CG and while the last two are definitely guilty of that I thought the Phantom Menace did a pretty good job balancing practical with CG. Hell, a lot of the Prequel trilogy used miniatures/practical effects they were just directed so flatly.
Would be funny if they had a scene in there where someone is watching the prequels and they say, "worst historical re-enactment ever."
