The still image of Luke is some Bruce Lee level stuff.

 

[adj_noun]

I just found an eight minute trailer for the next Batman film.

I thought the villain was a surprise! :O

 

[glaurung]

A lot of this stuff is from fan movies, which I suppose very few have actually seen.

If the editing was not a complete mess, this would be a delightfully misleading fake. Right now, it is a blatant fake.

 

[Coin Return]

It's a well done fake all things considered.

It really isn't. Cheesy as fuck.

 

[Cheebo]

wow, i thought this was real. where did they get some of the footage like old luke in the jedi robe?

That isn't footage. It's a cheesy effect of putting a still image of Mark Hamill on an actor. You can tell in that his face doesn't move at all.

 

[fantomena]

When's the real thing suppose to come out?

 

[Liamario]

It really isn't. Cheesy as fuck.

It started ok and then deteriorated very rapidly.

 

[thecouncil]

Even this?

i had doubts after a few other scenes, but that one tipped it. not because it's incredibly dumb, but because it just doesnt look right.

 

[tycoonheart]

The black stormtrooper.... lmao.

 

[SteveMeister]

One thing that proves it's fake is the X-Wings. In this video, they intakes for the engine nacelles are circular. But the X-Wings in The Force Awakens have semicircular intakes.

Edit: here's a crop from the youtube video:

 

[Cheebo]

The best part is the OP posted this after he was already told it was a fake in the star wars thread. Hilarious.

 

[-tetsuo-]

David pls

When's the real thing suppose to come out?

The 88 second teaser will be in 30 theaters this weekend. There's currently a question as to whether Lucasfilm/Disney will release an official version online before that.

Either way, there's going to be something up this Holiday weekend. The question is whether it's an HD copy, or it's a cam rip. But something's going to be up.

 

[marrec]

The sound mix alone proves it's a fake much less the poor CGI and reuse of footage.

 

[Death Metalist]

Oh look, it's a fake. Atleast I got to listen to dat Binary Sunset once again.

 

[Bigby]

When's the real thing suppose to come out?

On Friday.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Got less than a minute into it then realised it was a fake.

You seriously thought this was real?

 

[SpookyFries]

I didn't know that Lucasfilms was using Blender for their CGI

 

[Messypandas]

The fake one I made is clearly the real one!

[BlueDogAnchorite]

So glad this is fake. Looks horrible..

 

[Cyd0nia]

JJ said it was 88 seconds long. Fake.

why do I have a feeling it's going to be Disney / lucasfilm, text, flashes of images and a logo with sound effects again

like the Star Trek transporter sound + logo and the darth breathing for episode I before it

plz be awesome

Keen eye. Apart from that detail it was spot on.

 

[daveo42]

I was expecting to get rick rolled as that's supposedly making a comeback with fake Star Wars Trailers. I will say that this is a pretty well done fake as most of the scenes looked really great, but the whole thing looked really low-res and kind of off here and there.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Wow i got fooled!

[Hero_of_the_Day]

The thing that tells me it's fake are my eyeballs and their ability to function.

 

[Sou Da]

People seriously thought this was real even when the black stormtrooper with the shitty clipping cg lightsaber showed up?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I kinda want the opening logos to look something like this...

Nice and basic. oldschool feeling.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Even this?

Jesus Christ Marie OP.

Edit: And why would they have the Vader breath at the end?

There's a pretty good chance you're not going to see a Disney logo.

 

[marrec]

Mark Hamill in the robe is just a Photoshoped version of this photo:

On Obi-Wans old footage.

I will be surprised if we see a disney logo. Since Lucasfilm operates semi-independently ala Marvel Studios.

My guess is it will open in silence with the Lucasfilm logo, go into the A long time ago screen (still in silence) and then sound comes blasting on as the scroll starts.

Just for traditions sake I can see Abrams leaving out the Bad Robot logo/opening.

 

[Ol No Bones]

I can't wait to see the Shiny Sithtrooper in action.

 

[brandonh83]

Looks like the Star Wars movie I've always dreamed of

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I absolutely agree. You don't see 'em on the Marvel movies.

But then again, not too often does a Lucasfilm movie start without the logo if its distributor in front of it, either.

Hell, Strange Magic has the Touchstone logo in front of it.

So I dunno.

 

[Cheebo]

Your dream star wars movie is a cheesy fan film?

 

[Ol No Bones]

In all fairness this was exactly how the prequels were produced.

Main thing I think is to try to keep it as similiar to the iconic openings of the first 6 films as possible. Just cutting out the Fox piece and leaving it all exactly as was before.

Opening with Disney will instantly make people think this is "different" than the rest. Jumping straight to the Lucasfilm logo is a bit easier of a transition I would think.

 

[brandonh83]

Your dream star wars movie is a cheesy fan film?

Yes, I think the CG, art direction, and dat lightning bolt starting the lightsaber fight is some of the coolest looking stuff in modern cinema.

 

[Cross-Section]

Word on the street is that the actual trailer's going to be only accompanied by Lucasfilm titles (not Disney, nor even Bad Robot), likely as to not muddle the brand association. Probably the next best thing to having the 20th Century Fox logo in front of it.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

HA

Oh man. Thank God that was fake.
