The design and lightsaber are cool enough. Now it all rests on the character himself.

The Chinese one is actually the best one.
I shed a few tears to that one.

I agree, but how does one get destroyed in a saber fight but walk out with all limbs in-tact?

I thought |OT|s only went up the day before release? Or is that just a gaming side thing?
You can control who goes to film premiers though and invites can come with restrictions. It's not like the general public can just buy tickets.
If you never saw any prior Trek movies, STID isn't that bad.
If you have seen the prior movies, STID is bad because it tries (and fails) to lift a lot of content from Wrath of Khan.
Star Trek (2009) was awesome because it tried new things and, while it had come callbacks, it didn't rely on them. It pushed forward and was a new adventure for fans old and new.
Star Trek Into Darkness felt like the filmmakers were afraid to try something new and instead simply cribbed from prior movies, hoping to make something familiar.
This would be a like TFA simply being a rehash of the ANH story, with some characters flipped around.
If TFA is its own thing and moves the universe forward, people are going to love it. If TFA just rehashes the same basic plot of ANH with new players, people are going to shit on it.
A villain who wants to "send a message." As in "I just kicked your ass, now run home and tell your Rebel buddies how badass I am and how you have no chance of winning."
Don't know if TFA will use that, but it is a pretty old trope.

I feel the same way.
The only problem with this theory is, how does one actually get bodied in a lighsaber duel without getting seriously injured or killed?
I'm expecting Finn to lose but am interested to see if he actually makes it out with all his limbs...

Ever since the full trailer came out with that entering hyperspace shot....goosebumps everytime!
Now seeing the coming out shot, while brief, JJ can really do space scenes damn good.
Yes it is.
I have a theory based on what they have said about Kylo and his lightsaber that at some point it fails in the fight, sparing Finn, but Kylo goes rampant, he is a totally unstable person, even Maul was quite professional, this is another level.
Ever since the full trailer came out with that entering
I love this shot so much
A precedent, has been set
I was always disappointed that we never saw a robot torso with Maul's lower half attached.
I also think Daisy at some point will go supernova and force will ooze out of her like a volcano erupting
*This is just a theory
A bit like Neo at the end of reloaded in the real world
Maybe she will wake up in a room of white that is pure force, a gateway if you will, a station between the real world and the force world, perhaps she will talk to Yoda
It is Karma

When I fist saw that shot I was literally blown away. I will cry during the whole movie. Thats sure. That shot scene is like omg.
Does make me wonder if we will get JJ's infamous word art stating what Planet we are going to in the top right, worked in Star Trek, wont work so well in Star Wars.

Can I ask why it wouldn't?
Because frankly it looks very stupid and the font they use in particular is terrible
Can you elaborate? I don't know what scene do you mean by that.

Did this for every Planet they went to
I like his Star Trek films, this is stupid
Im pretty (hopefully) sure we won't that get here.
Lost, Fringe and Star Trek all had it

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Unless Disney intends to do it with every subsequent film, I doubt Abrams will do it with this one. There will likely be a consistent (visual) framework for the directors to follow and since Abrams isn't directing the entire trilogy then that word art probably won't be in the framework.

When was the last time a movie of this scale and hype was being released this is a freaking event.
Harry Potter last episode?

Avatar would be my guess.
No, I give HP that point.
Avatar felt like a chain reaction of "omg you should totally go see it" rather than an event. At least, that's what I remember.
Ya, it wouldn't be good. I could see JJ doing it though.
was that really in the movie? it looks so bad and fake
Christopher
BDE (Big Dad Energy)
Was it really though? I don't quite remember the hype like this
Avengers was nothing next to the event that was Titanic.
In both movies, and worse, the most horrible crime of all, it was rendered poorly so it didnt even look sharp, it looked like fucking Word Art
I shouldnt have pointed it out because if you watch the films now you wont be able to unsee it
Still good films, I like them both
I have seen them both before but now It will not be unseen when I watch it again.

You know, it's amazing how the ending of the episode I and IV are too similar, this is great. I'm hoping for something like it in the Episode VII.
Protip: listen to the music of that scene, then listen to the Emperor's theme.
Protip 2: There's actually an after credits easter egg in Episode I

About the protip 2, this is serious? I never heard about it! Gotta check this.
My head tells me someone has to die, but maybe thats not true?
Odds are for me Han, Kylo or Chewie

LOL, Fringe theme immediately in my head from a somewhat normal font.
Similar. But they are like in a galaxy far far away. Ep1 ending is not even close to the ending of ep4. And ep1 ending was quite good tho. Except for Anakins "acting"
Yeah.
The music slowly transitions into a very brief motif of the Imperial March, and Vader's breathing is heard in the background.
So glad I bought tickets to Star Wars Celebration next year
Might even get an EP8 trailer
Man, I'm not even ready to think about Episode VIII right now.

I think they're both great, but thanks to the characters I can agree that the IV's ending is better.

Bet she says something like, "I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you!"
