Captain Phasma is so badass.

Calling it now. She's going to come out of this as the Boba Fett of this trilogy.

 

[BFIB]

I'm more hyped today than I was yesterday, I suffer from emotional delayed reaction hahahaha

I watched it again this morning. I think my favorite shot is that downed Star Destroyer. Amazing shot.

Let's hope better. And that she gets a better ending.

You're not cool unless you have VHS copies still.

I still have my VHS THX Edition Box Set!!!





I just don't have a VCR to watch them on......

You people are insane with this nonsense Machete Order.

You watch them in release order. Original Trilogy first and then the prequels. Anything else is just blasphemy. It's like those weirdos that suggest playing the MGS games in chronological order instead of simple release order.

I didn't believe it until I tried it, but it works incredibly well. TPM literally added next to nothing of value to the overall story. It makes 2 & 3 into extended flashbacks that fill in the back story of the main story which becomes 4-5-6. In this vein you really don't need TPM because it actually hurts the overall arc dealing with Luke, Han, and Leia.

As long as you won't quote this post as bragging rights when you turn out to be correct. That's a very safe thing to bet on, I'm sure everyone had the same thought.

I'm actually going that the badass Chrometrooper wields a lightsaber, whether or not he or she can use the force. Just make this character a tremendously dangerous swordsman, maybe.

 

[Inferno313]

True. Meant more in terms of fanboy obsession. I can see Captain Phasma cosplay being all over the place this time next year.

You might have heard of a certain man called Adolf Hitler. Here pictured delivering a picture to Nazi Storm troopers:

Well, yeah, of course. I mentioned KZ3 because of the snowy environment.

She? Is it confirmed that it's Gwendoline Christie? Cause that would be pretty badass.

Same here, that and I watched them so many times when I was a kid I don't think they even work anymore.

I am guessing it's either Nyongo or Christine just because we haven't see their characters yet/heard them for other roles.

Don't know if it's "confirmed" but it's pretty much as widely known as Adam Driver playing Kylo which has also yet to be "confirmed".

 

[depths20XX]

I wonder who will be the Jar Jar Binks of this trilogy? Not seeing any good candidates so far. Getting kind of worried.

 

[kaiju]

Heavily rumored to be. Also, Captain Phasma has a

lightsaber

in concept art. Can't wait to see that battle if it's true.

I doubt there will be. Things look promising.

I mean, the cute new funny robot BB-8 seems like a hit already.

It's not official, but everybody in the know says she's playing the Chrometrooper.

Maybe C-3PO can carry on Jar Jar's legacy!

Before hearing of Machete Order, I came up with...

4, 1, 2, 5, 3, 6

You get the beginning and hear of Clone Wars and then see the build up and Clone Wars. Then you see Luke coming to a cross roads about which direction he should go. You see his father turning to the Dark and then you get to see if he will follow in his father's footsteps.

That'd be nice, but I hope the man himself shows up at one point.

Just saying.

The is a reason they choose Hugo Boss to do the uniforms.

Boba will have his own spinoff. He doesn't have to appear in everything.

Small role in the background and die a wussy death?

I mean, I love Boba but he had only really one good scene and then his death painted him in awful light.


edit: I saw death cause he died in the movies and since books aren't canon anymore, he is dead.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Looks like the trailer is sitting at about 25 million views in less than 24 hours across the various YouTube providers.

But I was told Star Wars wasn't relevant anymore and Avengers is going to destroy it!

 

[RoadHazard]

Saw this yesterday, but yeah, those two minutes were better than everything in I-III combined (and I actually don't think II and III are altogether terrible throughout). Hype!

Is that Brienne of Tarth?

You know they're doing a standalone Boba Fett movie, right?

I put the hi-res stills from the trailer the Disney provided (4K and IMAX formats) into an imgur album for anyone interested.

Hmmmm...I can't seem to make any of these into a desktop wallpaper. Keep getting a permission denied error. Any help?

People forget how great the prequels trailers were.

Not that great, really. Decent, but you can see some of the awful line delivery and ugliness in there.

 

[wookieofdoom]

Could be talking to Finn.

Could also be talking to Kylo Ren.....

 

[Neffarias_Bredd]

I was just a kid when the prequels came out...was the general concensus that episode 1 was going to be good before it came out? How does the hype compare to where we're at now with episode 7

What an ambitious bet to make, Captain Obvious.

Not like they seem to be positioning it that way at all.

I'm calling it right now, the sky will be blue tomorrow.

I've only just noticed that Vader's helmet is on a pedastal

Would be funny is the mask animated and talked to him.

Until it is officially announced...and don't even know the story, could be prequel and how he gained notoriety.

 

[Ovek]

Has anyone else noticed that these engines appear to be from a Super Star Destroyer?

I did! It makes sense really as it's the only ship large enough for the Falcon to fly through it superstructure.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

[Dreavus]

This is how I watch them now. I tried it a few months ago and it actually works so well that it almost feels like it was meant to be watched this way. And surprisingly, skipping 1 entirely not only improves the overall story but eliminates so much crap from it too. I mean Jar Jar is almost nonexistant when you skip 1, midochlorins never come up, you never have to suffer young Ani, you skip all that confusing Padme decoy shit, you never get bored with trade war exposition crap, I could go on.


Yep, 4-5-2-3-6 is my preferred way to watch them now.

I just read about this, and I think I'll try it out. It's been long enough since I've seen any of the films that I think it will be a cool experience.

 

[bengraven]

You just know he's going to play the part when K and P eventually do a Star Wars parody.

 

[inm8num2]

Boba Fett film should be a two hour existential art flick about him being slowly digested in the sarlacc.

The movie could be like that story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." Boba Fett manages to escape the Sarlacc then has to find a way off Tatooine while avoiding the Tusken Raiders who are hunting him. He finally reaches his hidden ship and prepares to take off, then it explodes and everything goes black.

"Boba Fett was dead; his body, with a broken neck, floated gently from side to side within the bowels of the almighty sarlacc."

This thread needs more Yaddle.

Seeing how people are reacting to this trailer is making me want to watch Star Wars.

 

[BocoDragon]

Star Wars and George Lucas were held in such high regard before Episode I that I don't think its quality was even considered. It was a foregone conclusion that it would be good. When it came out it was a rude awakening... I'd say it actually took some time to set in, it was so unexpected that it would be bad.

This one is different though.... now we think Episode VII will be good because it's been put into the hands of Disney who are dedicated to getting it right. If it is possible to get a good Star Wars down to a science, Disney is attempting it. Time will tell if they succeed.

There will never be a trailer that got people more hyped than that trailer. I know it's really tough to distance oneself from the final product, but at the time, before we knew, that trailer was incredible.

Yup. Everything that now reads as one bad Episode I moment after another was then taken to be the whimsical new frontiers of a sure hit. People loved that trailer in its day.
