It's hard to get excited about these movies. I've been burnt three times prior.

At this point, we're all like Charlie Brown hoping Lucy doesn't pull the football away this time.

Yeah.. but what if she doesn't this time?

 

[bigred50]

How do people not see Luke in this trailer? Pay attention.

 

[jetjevons]

Oh. Oh MY.

 

[Frozenprince]

IMO the Sith are loong gone.

The last two are long dead, the dark side will never die, but Sith philosophy is dead.

 

[super-famicom]

I had this pet theory first time I saw her with it that it was some form of pike akin to those things, its crafted, not found and is clearly a weapon of some sorts.

Ren, Rey, Knights of Ren

I hold onto my theories.

I thought Rey looked very similar to a Tusken Raider in the opening of the trailer, and then thought that her staff was something like a gaffi stick they used.

 

[Horseress]

I'm so fucking hype, but I'm sceptical, because

Spoiler

c'mon, "finish what you started"? That so looks like that son/dad shit. I don't know if I would like that, I mean, Luke is ma boy. And no sign of him in the trailers

Spoiler

But maybe that's what they want: make everyone think he's bad then BOOM! He's the new Yoda or something

 

[Sigma722]

JJ trolling

lol

 

[Apt101]

Fuck I am so hyped for this I can feel it in my toes.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Why did that dolt had to post bad guy face spoiler.

Ppl are asses.

 

[The Omega Man]

Look again,

Spoiler

It's neither

Spoiler

Poe? Boyega is holding the light sabre, are we getting red herring'd?

 

[Mr Cola]

This is my favourite shot, major trench run vibes

 

[Horse Detective]

How do people not see Luke in this trailer? Pay attention.

What do you people mean by this? I am really confused, are you talking about the hand touching R2? If so, that is pretty obvious. It was in the other trailer.

 

[Log4Girlz]

JJ trolling

That's a manifestation of the force

 

[harSon]

Neither. This film is Rey's story. She's the lead.

I've seen rumors and supposed leaks supporting Rey being the main character and force sensitive, as well rumors and supposed leaks of Finn being force sensitive. But nothing overtly definitive. Any sources?

 

[The Silver]

I've really come around on the claymore lightsaber, that thing really sounds and looks like it has real weight to it, it's good a Sith weapon.

 

[bachikarn]

Thought it was Jon Snow for a sec at the end there

 

[NormandyVII]

Whatever the Ewoks celebrated at the end of the battle of Endor in ROTJ, I'm sure they're meaningless now.


Make those decommissioned x-wings fly again!


I've tears rolling down my cheeks. This is utterly beautiful.

 

[mujun]

Holy shit that looks good!

I can't wait to take my son to see it.

Is this the first movie I actually buy on blu ray?

 

[The Faceless Master]

i still can't describe how i feel after watching it ten times

 

[thecouncil]

"She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name J.J., for He will save His people from those prequels."

[Ferrio]

This is my favourite shot, major trench run vibes

...maybe that *is* the new death star? Best way to keep it hidden, make it look like a snow planet.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Heh. Jesus. It quite literally never went away.

Sorry but Star Wars as I knew it ended after RoTJ. The feel, the mood, the atmosphere, the characters. It all ended for me. Surviving perhaps only in spirit in books and animation.

That Star Wars is back. And I shall remain emotional about it. If you can't identify I'll chock it up to age.

 

[Loakum]

Pure insanity.

I love safety. America is too crazy these days....

 

[fallengorn]

Han saying, "It's true. All of it."

God damn it, I'm on the hype train.

 

[ProtomanNeo]

Loving the little taste of the cues from the score. No surprise but, Williams has brought his A game.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

JESUS MOTHER OF HYPE




"I will finish what you started..." Fuuuuck is Luke the evil dude?!

 

[Mr Cola]

I thought Rey looked very similar to a Tusken Raider in the opening of the trailer, and then thought that her staff was something like a gaffi stick they used.

Its possible, its eerily similar to Mauls lightsaber hilts though if you inspect a high def image, the ends are very crafted.

 

[midramble]

Does that guy to Kylo's right have a dark helmet from spaceballs?

 

[Dead]

Spoiler

Poe? Boyega is holding the light sabre, are we getting red herring'd?

Pretty sure yeah.

 

[Miggytronz]

This is my favourite shot, major trench run vibes

New Death Star?

 

[Currygan]

I've really come around on the claymore lightsaber, that thing really sounds and looks like it has real weight to it, it's good a Sith weapon.

I still have not, it just looks different for the sake of being different

 

[jett]

Are people seriously hating on the term Sith now just because Lucas used it in the prequels?

The less prequel terminology used the better. Definitely. Don't wanna hear about no sith, no padawans, no midichlorians, or any other such idiocy.

 

[TheDinoman]

Never thought that a 2 minute trailer would completely blow an entire prequel trilogy out of the water.

 

[ryseing]

Time to rewatch Oblivion tomorrow

Kosinski is a visual genius. Can't wait for that Gran Turismo film he's doing.

 

[Frozenprince]

IT FEELS LIKE STAR WARS. The camera looks like Star Wars. The fights, the tone.

 

[Thriller]

I kid you not, the thing that got me most excited was the sound of the falcon going into hyperdrive. That rust bucket finally does what is needs to do... make me tear up!

 

[MrPressStart]

I think Rey is Luke's daughter. They somehow got her away from him because he became obsessed with the force. So... Why is it nobody raises their kids in Star Wars????

 

[super-famicom]

I'd like it if Finn wasn't Force sensitive but stuck with the lightsaber as his main weapon anyways. He'll suck with it in Ep. 7, and then be good with it after training and have a great fight in Ep. 9.

 

[mreddie]

Eh trailer but I'm game.

 

[Liamario]

color me not impressed

Can I join the club?

 

[ponpo]

Who's this?

 

[Lord Error]

it worked for me in all of his movies. Maybe it's your opinion

It worked for me at first as well, but the more I was watching his stuff, the more it was wearing thin. I was hoping he'd do some reinvention on his formula for this, but it doesn't seem like it. I'm more annoyed by that than anything though, as I always feel his movies are just on the cusp of greatness, but never quite reach it. I feel he's capable of it, but somehow always miss it.

...We're talking about a movie trailer.

I know, I know... but the shot composition and the way people are framed, and the way they express their emotion, feels way too familiar and similar to his other stuff.

 

[rekameohs]

I like how the snow planet has the big mountains, the forest, and the Empire base. Seems to have a lot more going on than Star Wars' typical one-biome-only thing

 

[CronoShot]

Looks incredible.

I'm guessing Luke will only have a cameo in this one. He'll probably be the one to train Finn (or Rey, I don't know who will be the Jedi, maybe both) in the next couple movies, like Yoda did for him

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Who's this?

Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron.

 

[Dennis]

 

[HariKari]

New Death Star?

Spoiler

Starkiller Base

, so yeah, essentially.

 

[Toxi]

Who's this?

Darth Insanius.

 

[Cybit]

...I get the sinking feeling that might be Chewie???

 

[Killer Queen]

I'm so fucking hype, but I'm sceptical, because

Spoiler

c'mon, "finish what you started"? That so looks like that son/dad shit. I don't know if I would like that, I mean, Luke is ma boy. And no sign of him in the trailers

Spoiler

But maybe that's what they want: make everyone think he's bad then BOOM! He's the new Yoda or something

Pretty sure that's exactly what's going to happen.
