Yes, there's a guide to some of the best arcs too.

Some of the shit with the clones was awesome, then a lot of it was just garbage dialoge. I'd say I enjoyed it more than I was bored by it.

Gay traitor Neil Patrick Harris is a queer actor who accepts straight roles for money! I bet he likes to throw rocks at rainbows.

Anyone already talk about this?

Daisy Ridley riding towards...

Ralph McQuarrie's Jabba palace gate concept art from ROTJ:

We have the art work of where she is going. Although if you put that one with this and a rumor about

Leia meeting with the Hutts. It would explain something in that artwork.

I like rebels but needs time to grow a bit, just bothers me how limited villains we have at the moment :/

This is like the weird dream, ate something spicy before I went to bed and was thinking about Star Wars before I fell asleep trailer. Its a bunch of things I recognize in contexts that do not make sense. What the fuck was that R2 ball thing?

 

[Gambit 1138]

Are you serious with this comment? Casting a black actor (he's not African American) is insulting?

I admit that comment was alittle extreme. I was just somewhat disappointed with the teaser especially since the prequels all had exceptional ones (especially Phantom Menace) I should probably reserve judgement until I see the finished product.

I think it's clear you don't like the trailer, and that's fine. But from what we know about the cast, it's a little odd, if not completely wrong, to say that the studio is engaging in token diversity.

Star Wars: The Phantom Awakens

1/10. Stick with movie Sin videos Jeremy.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

It's frankly insulting that Hollywood still thinks throwing in an african american lead suddenly makes the movie "diverse".

John Boyega is British.

his casting isn't insulting, either.

 

[BDGAME]

Perfect. hehehe

Wants a word with you.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

I wouldn't call this token diversity. For me token diversity is making Johnny Storm an African American in the new Fantastic Four movie. However in Star Wars we now have these new characters with new stories who have their own chance to shine on their own two feet. This is creativity and it's refreshing that they didn't get lazy with it. The creation of new characters who have their own lives.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

If you don't cast a middle eastern actor apparently you aren't being diverse. Ignoring the fact that of the 3 hero leads ZERO are white males. Crazy....

I mean they really aren't being that diverse though. I don't mind but it isn't diverse.

 

[Cheebo]

I mean they really aren't being that diverse though. I don't mind but it isn't diverse.

A black make, a white female, and a hispanic male are the 3 key hero leads, that isn't diverse?

yeah i never got the whole token diversity thing for this either

boyega looks like hes gonna be a lot of fun to watch

Still needs an asian

 

[guek]

Despite all my reservations, I'm still super stoked to see Boyega own his role.

 

[entremet]

Is the Clone Wars animated series worth watching?

It seems there are two. A CGI and another traditionally hand-drawn one. Which is first? Are they both canon?

 

[Einhander]

The issue I have with all Star Wars movies is there are hardly any non-white actors. You can count them on one hand. Maybe two. Sure, TFA has two non-white main characters and one female main character, but to me, it seems cheap because of how few non-white actors have been in the movies, traditionally.

That's not to say there should be anything taken away from those three. I'm sure their acting will be good.

Only one is canon, the CG one. It's a damn good series with a variety of different types of stories in Star Wars. The traditional one is a great mini series of animated star wars fights, you lose nothing from watching both.

CGI one is canon, the other one is no longer canon.

Many people here recommend the CGI one, personally I never got into it.

The hand-drawn one is extremely good, I recommend you watch it even if it isn't canon, as it isn't very long.

Only the cgi one is canon. Well worth watching. 2D one is good too despite not being actually part of the series technically.

The nemoidians might come back though.

CGI one is worth it, just gotta get past a few episodes. Can probably skip the movie.

Not cool.

When was the last time a trailer thread had 5000+ posts?

I dunno but you know the full trailer for this in the summer will be one of the next ones.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

I got bored and it was all I could think of whenever I thought of Boyega in the trailer:

 

[Alucard]

Btw, are the stormtroopers people or clones in SW canon? Stopped caring after the prequels and never tried to think about it too hard.

If they're clones, can we go back to thinking they're people now? Any chance Abrams will address this in story?

 

[Ghazi]

lol That one would probably be better.

haha, nice. Really loved the trailer but that whole scene/shot/pop-up was just so...odd.

They are no longer clones by the time of the OT

I believe George has confirmed there can only be one black man in the Star Wars universe at a time. Sort of like the Rule of Two.

 

[MHWilliams]

If they wanted to really show diversity they would have picked a mixed race or middle eastern guy as the lead. It's frankly insulting that Hollywood still thinks throwing in an african american lead suddenly makes the movie "diverse". There is more to this world than white and black people.

Let me help you out here.

This guy?

That's Oscar Isaac. He's part of the main cast. He's not white. He's Guatemalan/Cuban.

So, uh... they already did.

 

[Einhander]

Boyega's part in that teaser looked out of place and lame. Kinda ruined the serious tone.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

LoL .. this shit right here i like. All talk of form and function aside.. why wouldn't you make your lightsaber like 8 feet long and 2 feet wide if it weighs nothing at all...

 

[Dicer]

That cockpit looks so roomy...

Yeah, why not make it like a Final Fantasy sword?
