She could sense that Luke made it out of the Death Star in time in Jedi

Ah. I never rewatch Jedi. I should.

It's my least favorite of the originals.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

The shot of the downed Star Destroyer on Tatooine is amazing.

the visual direction here is fantastic. my eyes were fixed on the downed X-Wing like, "damn i guess some shit went down here..." then your eyes end up refocusing and noticing THE GIANT STAR DESTROYER....and mouth hangs slack.

 

[Yen]

Frig me

 

[Raxus]

Hnnnng...so good.

Harrison Ford looks like he gives a shit this movie! Even better!

 

[TheJoRu]

Here's the part from ROTJ where Luke says the line:

https://youtu.be/MDYX_PgorRY?t=1m43s

But it's definitely a new recording, and with an added line at the end.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Who's attacking the Empire in the hangar? It seems like it's all Stormtroopers..

Boyega maybe?

 

[Seductivpancakes]

thought the same. darth revan returns?

Spoiler

probably not but would be awesome

I need Kyle Katarn on the big screen before they do Revan.

 

[Busty]

The 'less is more' approach really works.

The music, the iconic ships, the familiar characters.

It's peddling nostalgia by the bucket load but it works

A very effective trailer.

 

[EBE]

looks cool.

 

[Vyrance]

The shot of the downed Star Destroyer on Tatooine is amazing.

Jakku, not Tatooine most likely

 

[richiek]

No Disney logo, just Lucasfilm. It looks better than the one on the digital releases of the SW films.

 

[graffix13]

I see posts confused about the narration. It's Luke, isn't it? That's straight from Luke's speech to Leia on Endor, plus one new line, isn't it?

Yep.

 

[neorej]

It's amazing how the girl actually looks like she could be related to queen Amidala.

 

[Daft_Cat]

It mixes the tone of the 2 trilogies

No it doesn't. I'm pretty ok with the prequels, but I don't see anything left over from that aesthetic/approach.

I hope in the redesign they fixed the "able to get taken out by a single A-Wing when our shields get wonky" design flaw.

 

[munchie64]

I'm pretty sure! And what an amazing performance it was. He sounded JUST as I imagined an aged Luke would. The last line makes me almost certain it's new and not from ROTJ.

Here's the part from ROTJ where Luke says the line:

https://youtu.be/MDYX_PgorRY?t=1m43s

Nope it's from Jedi. The clip is just re-ordered.

 

[Kinyou]

I know its Daisy.. but its weird that he frames the explanation of force powers with "the force is strong in my family.."

"the midichlorians are strong in my family"

 

[gutshot]

C'mon, it is obviously Luke talking and it's definitely not a clip from RotJ. He sounds old.

 

[Unicorn]

Looks soooooo good

 

[Gambit]

How can people miss that it's Luke talking?

My father has it -> Vader helmet
I have it -> robot hand touching R2
My sister has it -> someone presenting lightsaber to woman (probably Leia)
and you have it -> next character we see is the X-wing pilot...

Coincidence? I think not

 

[heringer]

People really think the clip from Luke talking is lifted from RotJ? It is NOT the same clip.

And yes, it is obviously Luke. I mean, c'mon guys.

 

[Shaanyboi]

When did Leia show Force talents? I don't remember at all.

She could sense Luke made it out of the second Death Star. And he could commune with her at the end of ESB.

 

[RetroMG]

Okay, so I just queued up the scene in RotJ. They are the exact same lines, but it's not the same recording. Luke's(?) voice in the trailer is much slower and lower pitched.

How can people miss that it's Luke talking?

My father has it -> Vader helmet
I have it -> robot hand touching R2
My sister has it -> someone presenting lightsaber to woman (probably Leia)
and you have it -> next character we see is the X-wing pilot...

It COULD be a massive redirect. I think people are trying to think outside the box. Personally, I think it's Luke, but I can see where people would be skeptical.

 

[VeryGooster]

Seeing "This Christmas" somehow got me to get over the nerdy "Man I wish this was a May release" thought process. I can't wait.

Trailer was dope. Super curious about the chrome Trooper.

 

[The Shogun]

I can for sure believe those rumors that they are begging JJ to come back for Episode 9 after the producers saw some of his completed shots. Supposedly they are doing anything to get him back

Say yes JJ, please say yes.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Here's the part from ROTJ where Luke says the line:

https://youtu.be/MDYX_PgorRY?t=1m43s

But it's definitely a new recording, and with an added line at the end.

No. It's just edited.

"You have that power too" comes before "The force is strong in my family."

They just went to the original recordings, and chopped up the dialog.

 

[LiK]

Hnnnng...so good.

Harrison Ford looks like he gives a shit this movie! Even better!

LOL

 

[luknotluck]

He could've made a new one. It's been 30 years in the continuity, right?

Yeah, true. Unless... someone found it!!!

 

[Eggbok]

So the question is who founds Luke's blue lightsaber on Bespin?

 

[RagnarokX]

I assume that's Luke due to the hand.

"My father has it." ::shows vader mask::
"I have it." ::shows Luke with R2D2::
"My sister has it." ::shows lightsaber being handed to older female wearing a wedding ring (Leia)::

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Since they first announce the cast, I said I wanted the to be the new Jedi, cool to see that's probably it.

I love that Boytega is a stormtrooper too. And just just a guy disguised as one.

 

[Sephzilla]

Ah. I never rewatch Jedi. I should.

It's my least favorite of the originals.

Jedi is my personal fave. When Vader saves Luke = manly tears for me

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Awesome fuckin trailer, gettin mega hype.

So how did Luke recover Anakins lightsaber?

That shit fell into the gas giant.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Maybe the chrome trooper is the Sith, before he goes all "I'm a Sith now!". Someone important who has become obsessed with the Siths/Jedis.

Probably not.

 

[K.Jack]

Okay that looks HYYYYYPE

 

[cacildo]

Bicho, eu dou até uma choradinha

Im not the one to usually fall for hype. But its tough to listen to the star wars theme and read "THIS CHRISTMAS" and not be emotional

 

[strafer]

It's up on Apple Trailers

http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/lucasfilm/starwarstheforceawakens/

 

[Griegite]

I'm excited about this movie more than I thought I would be. Awesome trailer.

When did Leia show Force talents? I don't remember at all.

The end of Empire when Luke is hanging on the bottom of Cloud City and she hears Luke calling for help. Forces Lando to turn around.

 

[Xrenity]

Fuck that looks good.

Now I'm actually hyped ;(

 

[Into]

But will da picture work without the main kid, the big honcho, the one to save the galaxy, Jake Loloyd?

 

[Dreadnought]

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN

 

[Omegasquash]

How can people miss that it's Luke talking?

My father has it -> Vader helmet
I have it -> robot hand touching R2
My sister has it -> someone presenting lightsaber to woman (probably Leia)
and you have it -> next character we see is the X-wing pilot...

Coincidence? I think not

I think it's Luke as well, unless the trailer is being intentionally misleading. And it could be, but I'm betting it's Luke.

And my boy will be 6 when this comes out. I will move mountains to get in somewhere on opening night with him. We have to watch them all this summer anyway.

I get to take my boy to see Star Wars. Excuse me while I go get this dust out of my eye.

 

[Kinyou]

Hnnnng...so good.

He smiled, can you believe it?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I can for sure believe those rumors that they are begging JJ to come back for Episode 9 after the producers saw some of his completed shots. Supposedly they are doing anything to get him back

Say yes JJ, please say yes.

JJ needs to make it his life work.

 

[CosmicQueso]

CHILLS

gonna be such a long wait

Dunno... been waiting over 30 years for a proper Star Wars movie to come out. 8 more months seems like nothing.

 

[adj_noun]

But will da picture work without the main kid, the big honcho, the one to save the galaxy, Jake Loloyd?

Are you an angel? I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the moons of Iego, I think. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe.

 

[darthbob]

I NEED a 1080p quality non-Youtube copy of the trailer!

 

[commish]

Looks great. Sign me up.

 

[saxman717]

wut?

he says to Leia "my sister has it"?

I don't remember this

He does say that but there is a slight pause/delay between "sister" and "has", for emphasis.....

......this pause wasn't in this narration....

.....either it was edited intentionally (meaning they may have blended in old dialogue from ROTJ with 1 new line from TFA, "and you have that power too") or..........the person narrating isn't Luke!!!!!!

 

[brandonh83]

This looks like the best shit ever and I've seen Citizen Kane
