Support NeoGAF

[soulluos]

New hope music and it's similarity to Luke's scene on Tatooine. They are totally mirroring Rey and Luke.

 

[BTM]

Sure thing. Here you go:

Thanks!

 

[Akahige]

don't you dare say anything bad about bg

I've only seen the first season so I can't comment on the show much but I'm just not a fan of that zoom shot it used in every space battle, probably not the originator of it but I've seen it in a few different movies where the scene is basically all CGI and never liked it.

 

[XenodudeX]

Are you serious? I actually thought he was quite prominent in the trailer. I didn't even know he was a major character before I saw this trailer. Looks like a lot of the cast is British too.

The trailer made him seem like a supporting character to me,even though he isn't.

 

[Majine]

The internet will be a hellscape this fall. Spoilers. Spoilers everywhere.

 

[Prototype]

Looked good to me. Hype rising.

 

[bebop242]

That opening shot of the crashed death star made me feel things i haven't felt for star wars since i saw Jedi on its opening day.

Damn.

 

[Waldini]

8 months... FUUUUUUUUCK

On one hand Abrams directed Mission Impossible 3 and Star Trek.

On the other hand he also directed Super 8 and Into Darkness.

The Star Wars film will decide which way the coin lands this time.

I'm not worried that it'll be a bad film necessarily, but after watching the trailers I've been wondering if I really want a Star Wars film made in the same style as blockbuster action films of today. A lot of the shots kinda rang hollow in the nostalgia department (not that it needs to, but I thought that was what the trailer was going for) and gives me a lot of the same feelings I had towards the recent Star Trek reboot -- entertaining (the first one anyway) but not memorable.

Kathleen Kennedy is producing the film - as CEO of Lucasfilm, she has the final say of what is displayed and conveyed on screen.

If you look at her filmography, she has a great CV and has a great eye for the business.

Though she did produce The Last Airbender ahhahaha but still a solid body of work lol

 

[guek]

I'm not overstating anything. His work has received a massive amount of critical acclaim.

Ok. Someone doesn't like what you like and isn't trying to change your mind about anything. Maybe just accept that.

 

[Mdot]

Ok I think I get it.

Rey is Leia/Han's daughter. They have another child who is probably the Sith.

Leia is dying. She gives the saber to Rey, and she is going to seek out Luke.

The reason we hear about the family's link to the force is because Rey will have to deal with her brother who has strong affinity with the force and has fallen to the dark side. It's going to be a family thing.

The force is awakening, both the light and the dark, to stay balanced.

I can get behind this.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

If it was Luke, why would he say "My father HAS it"?

Because at the time he says the line in RotJ, Vader is still alive

 

[Chezzymann]

The trailer made him seem like a supporting character to me,even though he isn't.

I imagine in the trailers they will focus more on him and the other new actors as these are just teasers

 

[digitalrelic]

Please be good please be good please be good

 

[Carn82]

"You have it too". I assumed he re-did the VO, but that's all ripped straight out of Jedi?

Guys, that dialog is 100% verbatim the scene from Return of the Jedi. It's not new dialog, it's not an impersonator, it's not old Hamill pitched up to sound young. It's just the dialog re-edited from Jedi. The "You have that power too" comes before the rest of it originally.

eh, have you guys not seen Return of the Jedi or something? It's the Luke/Leia scene dialogue (in a slightly different order)

requote for new page ;o

 

[Interfectum]

It was their choice to make him look scared and seemingly useless in every scene we've seen of him thus far.


This is sadly probably the case.

It's a trilogy, why not allow for character growth or even see the film before tossing "it's racist" into the mix.

What do you hope to accomplish here?

 

[jett]

Because Vader was alive in Jedi, and I believe this trailer is just lifting and using that dialogue from there. The trailer then seems to have one new line in it, perhaps from this film, or perhaps a line that won't even be in this film at all, but created just for this trailer.

Trailer shit doesn't have to come to pass in this film. Many bits of dialogue, or even whole shots get made/discarded just for trailer purposes.

"You have that power too"

cue up 1:33 on this clip:

https://youtu.be/MDYX_PgorRY?t=1m33s

Confirms that the dialogue is just a clever edit of the original lines from ROTJ

The trailer narration probably doesn't show up in the actual Episode 7 movie

There are no new lines in Luke's narration.

 

[Garryk]

Mayhaps they took it from Luuke

ROFL

I thought you typoed at first, then I had a good lol.

EU brofist.

 

[stufte]

It was their choice to make him look scared and seemingly useless in every scene we've seen of him thus far.

So what? Luke was a pretty big schmuck when he was first introduced. Just fucking stop. It's embarrassing.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Probably a new pilot with no combat experience. He or she can't cut it, so they call back Han and Chewie, who remark how they're back home when they board the Falcon.

 

[hipsterpants]

That was kind of... boring.

 

[McHuj]

That trailer was much, much better than the first one.

Hopefully, this movie and battlefront can make me forget the prequels.

This is sadly probably the case.

It took this long to make it a racial thing

And i'm out

 

[SugarDave]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK! YES!

 

[kris.]

i can't

i can't

i just can't

its beautiful

 

[Xamdou]

How much did Disney buy Lucasfilms and Marvel? They about to make $3 billion+ on TFA and AoF just this year.

 

[Messypandas]

 

[Ithil]

That was kind of... boring.

So what would constitute an "exciting" teaser trailer?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I get the feeling that this wasn't meant to be.

What a shame.

BUT this is still the dopest trailer I've seen in a while. I'm all in!!

I don't get it? What does that movie have to do with it?

 

[RagnarokX]

Ok I think I get it.

Rey is Leia/Han's daughter. They have another child who is probably the Sith.

Leia is dying. She gives the saber to Rey, and she is going to seek out Luke.

The reason we hear about the family's link to the force is because Rey will have to deal with her brother who has strong affinity with the force and has fallen to the dark side. It's going to be a family thing.

The force is awakening, both the light and the dark, to stay balanced.

The person being handed the saber in the trailer is most likely Leia and she looks to be in good health. She's wearing a wedding ring and doesn't look sick or injured.

The person handing Leia the saber seems to have orange skin and white markings on their face like this:

 

[zeemumu]

I was expecting the black guy to pop up in the middle of the screen during the wide shot of the star destroyer.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Black guy scared in every scene, why?

Star Cops

 

[DrForester]

So this is an XKCD comic from 2008.

 

[Ushojax]

Hope so. That didn't quite pan out when Lucas was at the helm though. Of course, Abrams is in a very different position with significantly less power so I hope you're right. I just don't have that much faith the man will put out something I'll really love.

Lucas took a 30 year break between trilogies and lost all his talent.

At the bare minimum this will be a serviceable movie, unlike the dried up turds we got with the prequels. They were written and directed without any passion, the new films will be vastly different when it comes to the quality of acting alone.

 

[3N16MA]

Great trailer. Gave enough without giving everything away and leaves you wanting more. I want more!

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This please. <3

I believe is what you're looking for.

 

[grmlin]

I still don't know if this will be better than the originals for me, but damn these teasers give me hope.

Seeing Han Solo and Chewbacca after all those years, again, was awesome!

 

[MrCunningham]

some real sets right there!

In all fairness, that would've been a matte painting in the original trilogy.

My God, the feels! Very, very good teaser.

All of the making star wars rumours/leaks seem legit as well.

LOL. Not sure if I'd be happy with that or not. It'd sure be a surprise though!

[SolVanderlyn]

The Narrator is Mark Hamill, reciting dialog from Return of the Jedi.

Oh, that went right over my head. Woops.

How much did Disney buy Lucasfilms and Marvel? They about to make $3 billion+ on TFA and AoF just this year.

The Walt Disney empire is to buy the superheroes stable Marvel Entertainment for $4bn (£2.5bn)

Disney is buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion, adding the legendary Star Wars franchise to the entertainment giant's stable of characters.
