OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD

 

[Majine]

Are wookies immortal? Chewie didn't age a day.

 

[bananafactory]

How old is Luke going to be in this film? How long has it been since Return of The Jedi?

I believe it has been roughly realtime, or 30-ish years

 

[mazpratim]

fuck

FUCK

 

[lastplayed]

Wooo old man Luke!

Nice to see Darth Revan make a comeback.

 

[RoKKeR]

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

This is so heartwarming.

I love this.

How old is Luke going to be in this film? How long has it been since Return of The Jedi?

30 years later.

 

[Par Score]

They're close but I don't think they are ripped directly from ROTJ. Mark Hamill could have re-recorded those lines.

I stand corrected about "you have that power too" I forgot about that one.

We'll have to agree to disagree that they are directly from ROTJ. Same lines, yes, but the audio is slightly different.

Yeah, they're direct quotes, but unless some serious audio fuckery has gone on they're fresh reads.

Compare: ROTJ vs TFA Trailer #2

Are wookies immortal? Chewie didn't age a day.

According to Wookiepedia--no pun intended--Wookies live up to 400 years, so probably 30 years is nothing morphologically speaking.

 

[Sojgat]

It's like some dead part of my soul has come back to life.

 

[rhino4evr]

Does anyone have a link to just the panel?

 

[dankir]

This will make an obscene amount of money.

Disney is going to make BILLIONS of dollars this year from Star Wars and Age of Ultron this year. Billions from those two films alone, then you have all the merchandise and shit.

Pure bank!

 

[mjc]

Are wookies immortal? Chewie didn't age a day.

They age super slowly, at least physically. I think in the EU books he was even still kicking when Han and Luke had their kids running around.

 

[Sephzilla]

Those are without question ROTJ lines but it does sound like a different reading

 

[Sectorseven]

I thought the rumor was Chewie had some grey fur in this.

 

[-griffy-]

Yeah, they're direct quotes, but unless some serious audio fuckery has gone on they're fresh reads.

Compare: ROTJ vs TFA Trailer #2

They just have more bass because of impactful trailer sound editing vs. weird Youtube rip. The inflection is identical between them.

 

[xxracerxx]

They age super slowly, at least physically. I think in the EU books he was even still kicking when Han and Luke had their kids running around.

Well obviously, since this is well after that time.

 

[StudioTan]

As a direct quote from RotJ solely for tieing Episode VI to VII in the teaser yes. "You have it too" is the new line. C'mon people Abrams is not going to jump the shark right off the bat by bringing Vader back to life.

It's not a new line, it just takes place in a different part of the conversation.

 

[Raptor]

That teaser is already better than the 3 prequels combined!

Not even close but maybe better than The Hobbit trilogy combined I could agree.

 

[kitzkozan]

The teaser is nebulous, which isn't a bad approach to incite curiosity. Still, I can't shake this feeling that Daisy Riley is the main lead which would be slightly surprising for what was essentially a boy's adventure / franchise for so long. Not so much because of this new teaser, although I have my suspicion on that front. Moreso, LEGO will eventually unveil the first wave of sets for Episode VII in september and the generic codename of the cheapest one is the lead hero craft (rumored to be the speeder which Riley was piloting in the 1st teaser).

I wouldn't be surprised to see the first trailer on May 4th which show that Rey actually live on that desert planet, which would seal the deal.

 

[jelly]

I thought the rumor was Chewie had some grey fur in this.

Only when he maxes out with unlimited power!!!!!!!!

Need to know his hair conditioner.

 

[thecouncil]

According to Wookiepedia--no pun intended--Wookies live up to 400 years, so probably 30 years is nothing morphologically speaking.

He'll start showing some grey in Star Wars: Episode 200.

 

[mrklaw]

I,m worried how many of the old guard will be killed off in this new trilogy. I kind of expect at least some.

I'm especially worried about R2, because that bobbly droid might steal his thunder. Don't die R2...

 

[ruxtpin]

I cannot lie. I've got an erection.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

No, the inflections are entirely different. In ROTJ he places emphasis on "my SISTER has it" as he is speaking to Leia and is subtly telling her this has he assumes he is going to his death.

They are the same lines except "you have that power too" but not ripped directly ROTJ.

I'm...not sure what you're hearing. They both have the exact same delivery even down to the small pauses.

 

[Erico]

This has melted away all my residual bitterness from episodes 1 to 3.
Throwing caution to the wind here; I'm ready to love again.

 

[Hamlet]

Great trailer. So many cool shots.
"Chewy, we're home" yes! Christmas can't come soon enough.

This is so heartwarming.

Thanks for that video man, it's awesome.

Haven't had goosebumps like that for a long time.

 

[stufte]

Pretty sure it's

Spoiler

a woman

. We can start there.

Pretty sure it is too:

 

[jelly]

I guess Mayhew is being used for close ups and CGI copy and paste for eyes or something? Doesn't seem like he can walk very well. Someone else must be running about as Chewbacca.

 

[Pro]

It's not a new line, it just takes place in a different part of the conversation.

At any rate for the purposes of the trailer I'm sure he's referring to a "new" force sensitive person now. Most likely Leia's child. Father->Son/Daughter->Daughter's Child.

 

[Not]

this "has instead of had" thing is going to be a thing a LOT of people point out and so now I'm going to impale myself with a lightsaber

 

[Shalashaska]

Loved the trailer and seeing Han again!

Does anyone have a link to just the panel?

Quoting for this too, I had to miss it.

 

[justsomeguy]

Luke going straight evil would be nonsensical but I do like the idea of making him a conflicted character.
.

I read a comic years ago (I assume non canon) where

Spoiler

Luke joined the dark side as a way to get "inside" and destroy it but ended up getting turned for real. That was pretty cool.

 

[BFIB]

This has melted away all my residual bitterness from episodes 1 to 3.

Yep, I think this is why it will outgross Age of Ultron in the end. If it hits all the right notes, you'll have people my parents age going to see it to see the original characters again, and the newer fanbase that want to rid themselves of the bitterness that they had with the prequels (even though I liked them overall).

Its two early teasers, but both have hit the right notes for sure.

 

[Danthrax]

Why is a Tie Fighter firing on Stormtroopers?

why indeed

it's almost like someone's trying to make a poorly thought out escape from an Imperial* stronghold

*First Order

No, it was canon in the EU, if you're thinking of the Kevin J Anderson series.

 

[The Big Rig]

I'm so excited to hear more of John Williams' score for this. The little bit of new stuff in this trailer already gave me goosebumps.

 

[Sato Koiji]

Im no nerd looking Star Wars fan guy...but when I saw Chewie and Solo I turned into one for 3 seconds. I hope my sidepiece didnt see anything of it..cant have that, man!

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

So does anybody have any idea who this guy is?

That's HAL 9000, dude.

 

[Ovek]

I thought the rumor was Chewie had some grey fur in this.

Old concept art did, but they they also showed him with a robot forearm... so you know.

 

[fastford58]

I am now patiently awaiting the Plinkett trailer reaction video.

 

[Bold One]

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?

I hope its Jimmy Fallon

 

[NumberTwo]

Guys, it's an amazing time to be a movie nerd. Holy shit...


EDIT: We haven't even gotten the BvS trailer yet. *wipes brow*

 

[Discotheque]

I'm jumping the gun here but this might be the best theater experience since the lotr trilogy for me, better than TDK and the first two spiderman movies

Maybe mad max will take that honor as well, Ive loved that franchise and fury road looks real good

But this, binary sunset theme from williams is one of his best. That crescendo when "this Christmas" hits really sells the movie...and then I get the feels when Han Solo enters the frame

God damn I didn't know I was this dorky :mjcry

 

[Dennis]

My force is awakening after that trailer. Can't fucking wait.

My force is fully erect.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

why indeed

interesting....

[SlasherJPC]

YEEHAW!!!!!!! This trailer has been watched probably 30 times already. Good lord. I loved it. Sure the movie could still be just ok but the feels this trailer packed for me. I just turned into a babling 10 year old again at this point!
