Holy shit! I had no idea Ford was back to do Han Solo! Fuck!!!
There's so much potential in the concept of a modern Stars Wars movie, I hope they get it right this time.

 

[Wedge7]

Oh wow, I want this so bad.

So good baby.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

I'm saying Disney shouldn't have bothered because nothing will ever top the original trilogy.

With that attitude why bother ever doing anything?

Matthew Mcconaughey's reaction to Star Wars teaser #2 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYHdQUyOunA

The fucking hand going up slays me. Pretty well done.

 

[Forkball]

Welcome to Star Wars.

The Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance are awesome names. First Order is good, but Resistance is so generic that you can't even Google it.

 

[Talon]

?? The trailer on Youtube is also 1080p.

Bitrate, son.

 

[strafer]

dat ratio

 

[Matt_]

Even McConaughey is pretty impressed with the trailer.

this is hilarious

 

[torontoml]

I'm not a huge star wars fan, don't know much of the lore or anything, but I do like the originals quite a bit. But one of the first things I noticed is how similar visually this looks to the originals and I like that. Honestly makes me more excited for these films than I originally was.

 

[Eidan]

I'm not seeing world of difference.

 

[Cindres]

I think it looks fantastic. Though "The Resistance"? Yuck. That's the most generic name they could have come up with outside of "The Good Guys."

Fits in nicely with "The Republic" and "The Empire".

Pretty much this, like they were called rebels before, makes enough sense to me.

 

[spats]

What could've been.

Couldn't be happier with this second trailer.

 

[Jables Swan]

Vader wishes he was as great as Dooku.

You shut your whore mouth. #vader4life

So this Daisy actress;

According to her representative Jonathan Arun's site, Daisy is highly skilled at swimming and can also do: cycling, ice skating, pilates, pool, roller blading, running, and tennis.

According to her representative Jonathan Arun's site, Daisy is highly skilled at cabaret singing, jazz dancing, jazz singing, mezzo-soprano, & tap. She can also do some ballet and violin.

Not bad.

 

[Jon X. Porter]

This.

Also the reason I love the OT more then the PT. This trailer just nailed it. Even at work people discuss this.

Bring on Teaser #3 please. 3 months maybe? Can't think of any other BIG Star Wars event anytime soon?

The 'Secret Cinema' is showing Star Wars this summer, but that's likely far too small scale for another trailer to make an appearance.

 

[shink]

The trailer didn't leave any impression on me. The Matthew McConaughey video was more memorable. It's probably because it didn't really present a story in the trailer for me to get excited over.

 

[Hagi]

So this Daisy actress;



Not bad.

wonder if she can drink a gallon of milk in 10 seconds

 

[Imperial]

So this Daisy actress;

Not bad.

i too, can run

 

[DrBo42]

The trailer didn't leave any impression on me. The Matthew McConaughey video was more memorable. It's probably because it didn't really present a story in the trailer for me to get excited over.

I think that's the nature/definition of teasers. Just to build excitement with no real indication of what's going on at all.

 

[OldRoutes]

So this Daisy actress;



Not bad.

Yeah, I'm in love.

 

[strafer]

i too, can run

 

[Birbo]

So in the spirit of hype for this and seeing as my wife's never seen Star Wars, we made a pact that she'll watch Episodes 1 through 6 with me in preparation for Ep.7 if I agree to watch all the Twilight movies with her. I feel I'm going to regret this lol.

Spoiler

Yes that includes the prequels which I still liked.

Ugh, I feel your pain. Sat through all those movies for my wife as well. You should make a thread about both your thoughts afterwards.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

That was so good.

 

[Forkball]

I'm not seeing world of difference.

For one, Rebel Alliance is more distinctive than The Resistance. If I say Rebel Alliance, people will know I'm referring to Star Wars. If I say The Resistance, that could refer to any resistance group in fiction or real life. It just seems so lazy.

Writer 1: So we gotta make a new name for the Rebel Alliance.
Writer 2: Rebel... rebel... re... resistance! That's it!
Writer 1: That's not good at all. It needs to be more unique so when people say it, they think Star Wars.
Writer 2: Look, it's 4:55 and the train comes at 5. Just call them the Resistance, who gives a shit we could call them the Fannyknackers and this movie will still make two billion dollars.

 

[Apt101]

I look forward to the scene when Luke Skywalker is piggy-backing Rey while training her in the ways of the Force.

Something I missed my first watching: the sith and the storm troopers appear to be working in concert, or at least each attempting to fight the same target(s), and reacting at the same time to someone off screen. The fanboy in me hopes they're fighting off Han and Chewie and rebels, and then turning to face Luke Skywalker just as the tide of the battle is turning. Man I feel like a kid again discussing this movie after seeing Han and Chewie.

 

[andycapps]

Itsfuckingnothing

People got hyped for this?

Okay.

Doesn't do much for me, they're trying to remind you of the original trilogy as much as they possibly can. It's just pandering.

The other direction they could have gone is to shit all over them like the prequels. I'll take this.

 

[KooopaKid]

I think that's the nature/definition of teasers. Just to build excitement with no real indication of what's going on at all.

But the first teaser left a durable impression on me. Particularly that X-Wing shot. Not so much here, except maybe the first shot with the Star Destroyer.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

wonder if she can drink a gallon of milk in 10 seconds

Hahaha

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Doesn't do much for me, they're trying to remind you of the original trilogy as much as they possibly can. It's just pandering.

It's almost like it's a direct follow-up or something.

haha.... I'd lose it.

I showed my dad the trailer last night since he doesn't really "go online" and we had a nice long chat when he showed me and my siblings star wars on VHS back in the day.

I'm annoyingly excited for this film.

 

[opticalmace]

Looks awesome. Can't wait.

 

[Blader]

I like First Order, it sounds like a logical rebranding of the Empire, but not sure I like Resistance. Makes it seem like the Rebels have made no progress as an organization in 30 years.

 

[Peru]

Unfortunate wife. The Twilight movies never got as bad as the prequels.

 

[shink]

Yeah seems that way. Funnily enough the first teaser left me wanting more but not this one.

 

[ANuclearError]

I think "First Order" is going to be a specific legion or similar within the Empire, perhaps similar to the 501st. Might be wrong though.

 

[sphagnum]

... all these MSW "leaks" are making me anctious as fuck.

Spoiler

Han getting killed by Kylo Ren? Again, I'll walk the fuck out if that happens. Maybe in Episode 8 or 9. You just DONT fucking have no Han for 32 years only to have him get killed. I cherish hope out of the fact he will appear next year on the SWC.

Don't go see TFA then, because that's what will happen.

Same here, exactly. I like the OT quite a bit, though not a huuuge Star Wars fan, even liked the PT somewhat because it was connected but this is like...a direct continuation. And something that feels like a direct continuation. Like revisiting someplace you really liked. I literally screamed a bit at the shot with Han and Chewie. That has never, ever happened to me with something movie related. So good.

 

[Cheebo]

Hah the Paul Scheer interview on the Star Wars stream where he and the Lucasfilm guy are trashing the Batman vs Superman trailer and how no one will care about it in the wake of this trailer.

Rebel Alliance has the benefit of being commonly associated with a nearly 40 year old film franchise. It sounds like to just want a second word with "Resistance". Either way, as I said, I'm not seeing a world of difference.

 

[strafer]

Hah the Paul Scheer interview on the Star Wars stream where he and the Lucasfilm guy are trashing the Batman vs Superman trailer and how no one will care about it in the wake of this trailer.

of course they did, the studio rivalry will never stop

it's stupid and pointless

 

[Kinyou]

At which minute is that? Love me some Paul Scheer

 

[Error]

Resistance? First Order? *groans*

 

[Cheebo]

At which minute is that? Love me some Paul Scheer

Starts about the 48 minute mark. It's great, they go on a long rant about "Lethal Weapon Celebration" and Rene Russo cosplayers.

 

[AbsolutBro]

Actually got teary eyed at the end. That "Chewie, we´re home" was just not fair man.

Yeah, that was a straight up kick in the feels. I love the first shot of the downed Star Destroyer and x-wing (hello new, new desktop), but it was really seeing Han Solo and Chewie back that just got my hype levels up.

 

[QuantumZebra]

so we think the black guy isn't a jedi now?

No its pretty clearly Rey who receives the lightsaber/is the next Jedi.

There could be more though!

 

[Ushay]

Itsfuckingnothing

People got hyped for this?

Ehhhh? Or well to each their own I guess. Trailer got me super hyped.

 

[QuantumZebra]

I'm so conflicted :-(
I know if it were a different director, I'd probably be squealing like a child in excitement, but it's JJ Abrams. I don't like Abrams. He's a hack. But it looked pretty good...

Only thing I didn't care for was some of the close ups.

Yep Star Trek and Lost were just plain terrible

lmao

That's So Revan.

goddamn gaf

 

[QuantumZebra]

Three generations of Skywalker women. The force is strong.

... could she be Luke's daughter? She isn't Leia's.

I know (at least I think I know) they are going in a Jacen/Jaina direction for this series... but damn that would be awesome

 

[Hagi]

I kinda hope she's Luke's daughter or someone who he has taken in. Man that chrome trooper is fucking sick, Hot Toys when?!

I'm playing with the idea of this being the first movie i see in Imax.

 

[Haloid1177]

No its pretty clearly Rey who receives the lightsaber/is the next Jedi.

Promo art though does have Boyega's character with a saber.
