I see, that make sense.
Yup batgaf was pretty great I hope the signal will get raised again if Batman vs Superman turns out okay. I think we could get something special with Afflecks first solo film.
- He warned Lando that the shield may still be up, causing Lando to question and pull out just in time before his ship crashed into the shield.
- He warned Lando to watch out for that bulkhead coming up which caused Lando to maneuver just enough so he only lost his communication tower.
Nien Nunb saved the day

If one of those dudes is Iko Uwais I'm going to flip my shit so fucking hard.
I'd be more surprised if he wasn't one of them

I think the only shot I didn't like was at 0:48. The way the camera pushes it so quickly and smoothly, it sort of feels like a videogame cutscene with a virtual camera. Just felt a bit odd to me. Every other shot looked really good.
I need to watch that movie again so I can appreciate the contributions of Endor's true hero Nien Nunb.- He warned Lando that the shield may still be up, causing Lando to question and pull out just in time before his ship crashed into the shield.

I can't speak for everyone but it's not his opinion I'm arguing about. It's about proclaiming to know the quality of a film when that person hasn't even seen it.
That's impossible.
Instead of getting a response to this all I got was insults. Oh well, this isn't on topic at all so now I'm shitting up the thread. I'm done with it.
Nah, the prequels had terrible dialogue, and I'd challenge you to find anything in this trailer that approaches the bit about the irritation of sand, and the getting of it everywhere.
I really don't think your motives in this debate are honest, and it's pretty shitty to see. Alright, now I'm done.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
People not knowing about the Jedi/Force/Sith is totally believable and sensible for VII. Abrhams hasn't been subtle about his love for the original trilogy over the prequels, and how that's inspired his work on the new films.
It's not even a matter of considering the canon and the oddities of the prequel trilogy's Jedi order fading out of memory so quickly. Fact is in the original trilogy, which is the most recent Star Wars history, Jedi/Force/Sith are borderline mythological quantities. Regardless of believability due to what the prequels introduce, that's just how it is. The Emperor hides behind the scenes and nobody is really aware he is force active. Vader rarely showcases his power, and even then has his sensitivity to the force mocked. Yoda and Obi Wan are in hiding. Circa Episode 4 the whole idea of the Force is basically that of a dead language or religion; text and records probably exist, but culture has moved on in absence of their activity. The galaxy is busy; busy waging war, busy rebelling. People like Solo consider it whimsical mumbo jumbo for good reason; in a galaxy where Rebels are fighting to survive against an imperialistic nightmare, believing in space magic is a dangerous waste of thought. With nobody around to demonstrate an alternative, nobody has any reason to believe.
Luke walks the path, is force sensitive, and develops. But even he doesn't really showcase it much. And a lot of what he does showcase could easily be excused by observers as skill. It's only when fighting Vader and the Emperor does he really start showing greater mystical abilities. Every other action simply presents him as a highly competent soldier.
So the real question sits on what happened post-ROTJ. In what ways the force continued to manifest in both Luke and Leia, who are at that point the only known force sensitive people in the entire galaxy, only one of which has been marginally trained. And how they utilised and expressed that sensitivity. For both it may have been something very private, something they considered very dangerous.
If both were unwilling to make a big song and dance about being force sensitive, a post-ROTJ galaxy would be no different to the rest of the trilogy timeline. Outside of folk close to the two of them, like Han, Jedi/Sith/Force remains mythological fantasy and old timey mumbo jumbo.

You'd rather have shaky cam? Fuck shaky cam.

Permit me to post potential spoilers, but I think
Luke Skywalker Dies in the film. We know that Kylo Ren loves Darth Vader, so It would make sense for him to seek out and kill the person who murdered Vader. He probably doesnt know that Vader betrayed and murdered Sidious.
Anyway the following shots from the trailer is what leads me to think this:
The way I see it, Luke is off doing his own thing, Kylo Ren starts burning houses near Lukes location with Phasma. Luke realizing that this is the end sends away R2 to warn the others of what is coming and he goes off to fight Kylo Ren.
Would that be a possibility or am I just rambling.

That's pretty interesting, actually.
Now that the EU is flushed, there's a lot of presumptions we might have about the SW story that are no longer true.
Like I always unconsciously assumed that between Empire and Jedi that Luke, Leia and Lando had all these meaningless adventures together... because they did. Shadows of the fucking Empire, etc.
But now it kind of looks like Luke starts going Lone Monk after Hoth, as you say.... interesting...

I'm pretty sure it's confirmed that they're in the movie, just nobody knows who they're playing yet

At 1:02 is Kylo Ren trying to use the jedi mind trick on oscar isaac's character?
Seems like he is trying to break his mind with the position of his hand lol

The speculation is that he's either torturing him mentally with the Force or he is showing him destruction caused by Starkiller Base, since the next shot is the forest getting annihilated.
I need to watch that movie again so I can appreciate the contributions of Endor's true hero Nien Nunb.
I hope you appreciate his contribution in Episode VII, too!
I just thought they were helping with fight choreography and stunts but damn this is just perfect. It never even occurred to me that would see other member of the Knights of Ren. Goddam I'm hyped.

Honest? What? It's shitty to see someone with a different point of view?
I'm gonna gonna see it, and like I said a billion times. It's gonna give me the same amount of joy Star Trek or Jurassic World. Ill enjoy myself while i'm in the theater then probably never think about ti again

I don't think he's actually talking about a lack of quality.
He's hating. I mean that literally... he picked a knee-jerk emotional stance of "ugh" and all his reasoning is designed to prop up this fact of it being objectively bad.
I know people can debate like this because I saw it a lot in my youth and early 20s. It sucks because it sucks because it sucks.
Imagine all of them fighting at once, the insanity that will look like. It looks like Kylo is the only one with the "lightsaber", one of them has a club, another a staff, they each have a unique weapon by the looks of it.

So that's why he has a bat instead of a saber.
There's a term for this... character arc.

I'm glad they didn't show Luke in his full Jedi Master regalia. His entrance will have audiences around the world going bonkers, reviling in pure joy.
Slowly getting the horrible taste of the prequels out of my mind. Still hate the new stormtrooper helmets, other than that it looks good.
I don't get posts like this though. You are excited to contribute to the profits of a large company? I'm excited to watch the movie.

Oh for sure, I'm expecting the theater to go nuts when he shows up the first time, which will make it even more exciting haha
I don't know. It's possible, but Luke should be OP as fuck at this point. He ain't much of a duelist, but his mastery of the force is fucking epic, like Yoda level shit. I could see him going out at the end of the trilogy, but I don't know about the first movie.

Just start using the Jurassic Park theme, that'll solve all the problems and cause none.

Actually... it's kind of needed. Han clearly would have been more increasingly more receptive to the concept of the Force and Jedi, but he didn't get a lot of chance to express it in ROTJ.
Him of all people testifying to the power of the Jedi is powerful.

Wow. I didn't even realize. That's wonderful.
Also, Fahrenheit expecting dialogue that a real person would say in Star Wars. lol

Having The Raid actors won't mean the action will be good.

To be fair, he did have that arc in Star Wars itself, but it's cool how convinced he is of it all now. And how much more mature he sounds.
My understanding is that they are helping out on some of the action stuff.

We would hope that, but Abrams may keep in tone with the Originals and the force use wouldnt be as big as lets say the Force Unleashed
