They're going to abuse the shit out of fan's nostalgia.

Man I hope this movie is 8 hours long

 

[The Omega Man]

So how's there a new Sith? Aren't they only 2 and Luke took care of them?

 

[rekameohs]

reaction videos aren't real, right? like, they're just putting on?

cause i love star wars and that trailer but im not hopping around when i watch it.

someone should make a really exaggerated video where they scream, stand on their head, run around in circles, etc. id believe it just as much, probably.

So what's the Reddit/Imgur FUMps up to at this point for this?

Spoiler

Forced Unfunny Memes per second

 

[GasProblem]

I'm liking everything about this, the actors, the costumes, the visuals, hnng. Star Wars is back ;_ ;

Star Wars, Mad Max, Avengers, Jurassic World, Ant-Man, Terminator, Mission:Impossible, Spectre, The Martian...this year man.

 

[Woorloog]

No, it looks like an alien of some sort. Can see part of the face in the upper right at the start of the shot:

Looks like a Togruta to me...
EDIT Specifically, orangish skin, with black-white head-thing... just like Togrutans have.

 

[thecouncil]

hey,... hey,... this was Leia too though:

You never know!

 

[Mdot]

Was waiting for a still of this. Nice.

I'm thinking the recipient is Daisy Ridley. Hand looks younger. But does she have the same ring on in any of the other shots from this trailer?

 

[-SD-]

Taken from the QuickTime version.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I imagine you would...

Spoiler

I'm not rly being serious. This is all in good fun

All good. I do think this has a shot at $2b if it's good enough for repeat business.

 

[MikeJAMoran]

The shot of the TIE Fighter shooting at stormtroopers in the hangar sealed how different this is from the prequels - clearly real actors, partially real set. That entire thing, including the troopers, would have been a bloom-y CGI mess under Lucas.

No, it looks like an alien of some sort. Can see part of the face in the upper right at the start of the shot:

I'm 99% sure it's Lupita Nyong'o's character.

I remember thinking those were the most out of place and un-Star Wars shots in the entire prequels.

They definitely highlighted how CGI everything looked.

 

[Regurgitated]

Trash franchise gets visual update, regurgitates same crap story about family lineage and something something about the force

Will set sales records for sure

How has this troll not been banned yet?

Mortal Kombat:

Who cares? The whole movie is awful. And the games suck too.

Basketball:

In my perfect society, all sports would be banned and all gaf members that enjoy sports would be executed

What a waste of time

Quintin Tarantino

He's a bad writer. But he's a big name for the mainstream audience to toss around. So he'll always keep getting work based on reputation alone. Film sucks

Halo

Nobody should buy a Halo game ever again

Amibos

What craze? Nobody wants these stupid pieces of crap.

Scarface

It's a pretty bad movie

 

[MrCunningham]

I am a fan of both franchises. Though to be honest, I never really liked the Abrams treatment of Star Trek. But I am happy with what I have seen from the Force Awakens, so far.

I actually did slam my hand at the table repeatedly when Han and Chewie were revealed.

 

[raphier]

The hand looks old and it matches up with the way they were cutting the trailer. So for the time being I believe that it's Leia. Yea it could also be the one receiving it too.

It's a prostetic hand, not an old hand. Look at the right side of the screen, the alien has big black eyes.

 

[Sephzilla]

All good. I do think this has a shot at $2b if it's good enough for repeat business.

I'm with you on this. If the movie is good enough to get people to do repeat viewings, it absolutely has a shot at the 2 billion marker. I don't necessarily think it will touch Avatar, but it's the only thing I can think of that logically has a shot.

 

[JDHarbs]

No, it looks like an alien of some sort. Can see part of the face in the upper right at the start of the shot:

They look young and seems like orange-tinted skin.

Ahsoka's kid?

Man this trailer... I can't wait a year for this i need it right in my jugular now

The question is which Star Wars action figure will Rich Evans hump now.

This one is my fave so far:

His reaction video to the first teaser was great also.

 

[AmyS]

That looked great. Wow.

The trailer did not disappoint, I need to get midnight showing for this!

Really only about 8 months if that helps...

 

[Calcium]

Here's the crowd from the celebration reacting to the trailer!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxN57J14pr4

This is so heartwarming.

I love the reaction to Han and Chewie. So awesome...

 

[Red]

Impossible to make it through that without smiling.

 

[BocoDragon]

They definitely highlighted how CGI everything looked.

Apparently they just let ILM go hog wild with random shots of the battle of Geonosis and basically edited it into a supercut. It was a glorified tech demo reel.

 

[aliengmr]

So how's there a new Sith? Aren't they only 2 and Luke took care of them?

The rule of 2 isn't like a biological thing. Force sensitivity happens and thus force users can fall to the dark side.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

"The force is strong in my family. My father HAS it".. has not had.

The soundbite is taken directly from RotJ, it's just edited.

 

[justsomeguy]

My wife heard me whooping, she's upstairs and three rooms away

 

[Shogmaster]

I'm gonna jack up some more nostalgia factor:

[Freezasaurus]

I thought I wasn't into Star Wars anymore.

I was wrong.

 

[Merc_]

I hate hype and I will resist it!

This looks good though.

 

[Not]

Holy geez guys I have no idea where to begin. So much stuff to unpack. I'm overwhelmed.

 

[eyeball_kid]

Design looks outstanding. R2 might be real instead of crap CG this time? Cast look too clean-cut and perfect, like they just stepped out of a Disney movie (oh, wait..yeah they did). Han Solo looks less like "grizzled old-timer" and more like "ready for retirement home". That Chewbacca hasn't aged a day makes it more jarring.

Cautiously very excited; I got the feels.

 

[brandonh83]

JABBA NO BOTHER

 

[TheGrue]

Big eyes, skinny orange arms...

From the deleted scene of Shaak Ti (who is the same species as Ahsoka) getting killed in Revenge of the Sith, they used a real actress with makeup on. The face here doesn't match that look, so likely not her.

Pretty sure R2-D2 has always been a prop, some scenes aside.

 

[Ghostmaster]

So does anybody have any idea who this guy is?

Are these the new elite stormtroopers like the guys from republic commando, or is it just a single guy?

 

[Curufinwe]

This is only vaguely related, but the guy they got to play a young Harrison Ford in Age of Adaline could certainly do the job if they ever need to a Han Solo flashback.

If that is a head in the upper right corner then there's not enough nose there.

Wasn't talking about the prediction, just didn't want him to think I was making anything personal by posting his AV as a reply. I was just poking him in the ribs.

 

[TheKaeptain]

So how's there a new Sith? Aren't they only 2 and Luke took care of them?

Same way there was a Jedi at the end of the original trilogy? They trained.

Nah, it's all this.
