A little off topic, but does anyone notice Rotten Tomatoes has been adding tons of new reviews to all the Star Wars movies across the board, changing long standing Rotten Tomatoes scores? For instance Return of the Jedi was at 78%, now it is at 79%. Revenge of the Sith was at 80%, but now it is at 79% like Jedi. The Empire Strikes Back was at 96% (after being at 97%), but is now at 93%. A New Hope was at 94% (after being at 95%), but is now at 93% like Empire. Attack of the Clones has remained more or less at the same spot (65%). The Phantom Menace is the only one whose score changes made sense, considering the 3D re-release had many new reviews. The Phantom Menace is currently the only mainline Star Wars movie to garner a "rotten" score (it had previously been fresh at about 62%). I guess with TFA coming, they took the time to add reviews that were previously overlooked. Weird to see Empire drop as much as it has.

Good eye and point

I find it stranger people overall place AOTC above Phantom. I get TPM will forever be tainted by that crushing disappointment and weight of history's expectation, but fundamentally as movies I'd rather watch TPM 2 billion times Doctor Who timeloop style than be forced to watch AOTC again.

So the video combining all the known TFA footage into a likely chronological order has been updated. With the amount of new stuff that's been coming out, you can pretty much piece the entirety of the movie together except for parts of the last act, so don't watch this if you think it may give too much away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yArKmJ1UcdY

edit: I think there's actually still one or two things missing from that though. I didn't see Maz, unless I just missed it.

Man Kylo is gonna feel like such a dummy when he finds out that Vader killed Palpatine and turned away from the dark side.

If anyone wants some Force Awakens Google VR cardboard viewers. They are limited in stores though and free to Verizon customers.


That movie ticket guy a couple pages back reminds me of a guy on the local news who bought out The Interview's first showing with intentions of scalping and then it went to on-demand and he couldn't return them.
(we only had 1 small theater in the entire area showing it)

That comes from the Rolling Stone article, which has a couple of new pics and interviews with Abrams and the cast that reveals a bit of new information about plot and specifics of certain scenes.

For those that don't know, all official footage to this point is solely from the first act. Still got a ton left to see.

Where did you get this from?

Because it ain't true.

Yeah that rumor started about a month ago. It's BS.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Ah shit, you guys are right. I google searched and didn't find shit. Then I watched a compilation video of the trailers and realized I was wrong. My bad. The internet lied to me. Then I lied to you.

Spoiler

Still doesn't show enough to be upset imo.

We accept your apology. You big liar.

 

[Ashhong]

I like Star Wars but was never some huge fan. But the hype around this movie is too infectious. I get chills for no reason from these trailers. Disney marketing at work. Can't fucking wait.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

So I started watching the Chinese trailer and it felt like too much when it was showing the Jakku part. Then the X-wings showed up and I noped the fuck out of the tab. Now that's a trailer that probably shows too much lol.

Edit: I have no self-restraint and finished it...nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be lol. This is gonna be the longest week ever.

I think I've seen every trailer. I honestly didn't see anything new in the Chinese one. At least nothing new and spoilery

 

[BFIB]

Guys, not a lot added on the trailer, just a few seconds of action before the cutaway.

But if you can resist, resist. I'm weak.

Made me chuckle (frame from trailer):

holy shit, best trailer yet? i'm done now also. i don't feel spoiled at all, but I've totally seen enough.

Don't watch that Chinese trailer..it does show a lot more...I need to shut off the internet for the next week.

That was damn good. One of the best for sure. I'm convinced that the t.v. spots and trailers use a TON of alternate takes, cut scenes and unused audio samples, considering how much things change with each release. And some of the newer footage has some content from older videos.

You think so? Like if new scenarios they haven't already shown us? I saw the same scenes, maybe a frame or two different, but nothing we hadn't already seen.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Agreed. I do think it's the best of the trailers we've seen, as well.

I've seen a good chunk of the trailers, and I saw MAYBE 2 new scenes in this trailer and a scene or two that was just a tad bit longer

My problem with that pic is it doesn't match the right Arnold movie. He said that in Predator.

 

[Inferno313]

That shot of the X-Wings descending on that metallic surface at the end really, REALLY, makes me want them to make a new Rouge Squadron.

not happy with Battlefront? Kappa

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

We need new X-Wing and TIE Fighter games.

 

[Khasim]

A lot of overreaction here about this new trailer. It doesn't show absolutely anything that wasn't shown in the previous trailers, only some new scenes. Watch it. I did and I don't regret it. The hum of Kylo's lightsaber sounds awesome.

 

[Sulik2]

OMG

Spoiler

Vibro weaponry is now cannon!

 

[thecouncil]

That new trailer is fine.

At the very least, this movie is going to deliver some killer X-Wing action from what I've seen.

 

[diaspora]

OMG

Good. Now Disney just needs to

Spoiler

make KOTOR and KOTOR 2 canon.
