Who's the jerk at Lucasfilm that shat on Marcellus Wallace's cereal today?

 

[brandonh83]

Come on, "Assbrams" is so good.

I was just trying to fit in with the hyperbole machine.

 

[Toxi]

When? I don't recall.

Kylo Ren pulling the info from Poe.

 

[keltickennedy]

Looking really good. Stick the landing Mr. Edwards!

 

[BigJonsson]

Whoa

 

[Mariolee]

When? I don't recall.

When Kylo tries to get inside Rey's mind to get information. He does the same thing with Poe earlier.

 

[TheXbox]

The only blemish on the cinematography in TFA is the occasional dutch angle. Otherwise, it stands head and shoulders above every other Star Wars film save TESB. Go back and admire those alternating close-ups of the prequels and tell me TFA doesn't curb stomp that shit.

 

[vinnygambini]

Kylo Ren with Poe, and then Rey.

When Kylo tries to get inside Rey's mind to get information.

Kylo Ren pulling the info from Poe.

Oh yes, yes.

Forgot that scene, sorry.

 

[Lifejumper]

Has Desplat already begun scoring the film?

 

[Escape Goat]

Man, they weren't joking about diversity.

An Australian Death Star...

Is the Death Star upside down? Position is relative in space but seems like it was always shown one way. I thought the dish was nirmally shown on the top half.

Edit - Im dumb.

 

[TheGameshark]

looks so good

 

[The Flash]

It's like Zeon in the Gundam fandom.

Or WWI / WWII German military aesthetics if you take it even further

 

[brandonh83]

Has Desplat already begun scoring the film?

He's probably writing it, the actual scoring sessions usually don't take place until near the end.

 

[mcfrank]

I don't get the tfa complaints. The falcon scene on jakku is pure brilliance in action direction.

 

[SiteSeer]

Second death star. We made it to seven pages at least

lol whoops back to the sarlacc for me

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Who's the jerk at Lucasfilm that shat on Marcellus Wallace's cereal today?

The one who greenlit Indiana Jones 5.

 

[Fencedude]

I was mostly referring to the characters. The trailer has done nothing to sell me on them at all.

I can almost see the glorious sacrifice already. Pretty boiler plate stuff.

I'm not sure why it is the responsibility of a trailer to do this?

Thats...thats what the movie itself is for.

 

[sphagnum]

Star Wars hasn't shied away from blood. It's just kept in check.

Yeah I know, but that's about it. The ANH lightsaber wound only has blood because Lucas wanted to make sure to get the movie to PG instead of G (same reason Owen and Beru's corpses are shown), otherwise all lightsaber wounds have cauterization. And Slip's bloody hand mark is there as a clever little visual marker serving a thematic purpose. But I feel like when people talk about Vader as a slasher horror villain they want blood and guts.

 

[Sanctuary]

Fringe looked great for its budget, but it certainly doesn't look like The Force Awakens.

I think Fringe might have actually had better effects.

 

[keltickennedy]

I don't get the tfa complaints. The falcon scene on jakku is pure brilliance in action direction.

I get the complaints....it's the internet!

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

ONE Darth Vader breath? That's all you're going to give me trailer?

 

[MattyG]

Wait, someone referenced Bothans?

God damn it guys.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Its sort of making me puke in my mouth seeing people in this thread throw JJ Abrams into the bushes....for Gareth Edwards...

 

[vinnygambini]

Can't stop rewatching the trailer. I'm so hyped but the "thanks" and "good" lines really don't land well... at all lol

 

[DrForester]

I love this shot.

I know it probably isn't but it looks like actual models instead of CGI.

 

[The Flash]

Wait, someone referenced Bothans?

God damn it guys.

[kevin1025]

Whoa, the effects in that are terrible. They should sell back to Lucas!

Spoiler

Am I doing it right?

 

[BassForever]

Continues to look fantastic Disney knows how to cut a trailer

 

[diehard]

This really doesn't seem like it has the "tone" of what makes Star Wars fun. Hopes are not high.

 

[TAJ]

But I feel like when people talk about Vader as a slasher horror villain they want blood and guts.

Nope.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Those poor Stormtroopers on the wrong end of a Donnie Yen ass whoopin'

 

[brandonh83]

This really doesn't seem like it has the "tone" of what makes Star Wars fun. Hopes are not high.

That was Episode VII, and people complained about it being too unoriginal and samey.

It's obvious not everyone is going to be happy, but that's how it goes.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I love this shot.

I know it probably isn't but it looks like actual models instead of CGI.

They created exact digital replicas of every tiny part that made up the original Star Destroyer model and pieced them together to create what we have on the screen. It's crazy (and admirable).

 

[johnnydrama]

This really doesn't seem like it has the "tone" of what makes Star Wars fun. Hopes are not high.

Why would you want a Star Wars film every year with the same tone?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

As expected Donnie Yen was the best part of the trailer.

hopefully this is not as predictable and Cheesy as force awakens.

 

[MattyG]

I just cannot get over how fucking awesome that beach battle is going to be. And now we have a late night raid in the rain it looks like?!

Goddamn, this movie.

RIP in pepperoni Borsk Fey'lya

Gone, but never forgotten.

 

[Mix Master]

Ben Mendelssohn looks GOAT with that white cloak on brehs. Dude looks full troll mode.

 

[brandonh83]

Everything about Star Wars is cheese incarnate. This will be no different. It's literally part of its life blood.

 

[Fj0823]

This looks exactly how I wanted Ep7 to be.

Day 1

 

[Toxi]

Or WWI / WWII German military aesthetics if you take it even further

Which both factions were inspired by. Probably not a coincidence.

 

[vinnygambini]

I just cannot get over how fucking awesome that beach battle is going to be. And now we have a late night raid in the rain it looks like?!

Goddamn, this movie.

It's going to be as epic as Episode III

 

[Einchy]

I thought for sure the big set piece of the movie would be the beach scene but it like there will be a ton of them that we didn't know about before.

 

[Lifejumper]

They still havent shows Mads. I suspect he will be shown in flashbacks mostly.

 

[Sayers]

The Death Star is "upside-down".

Go home Death Star, you're drunk

 

[Toxi]

It's going to be as epic as Episode III

I was so fucking disappointed when I saw the movie and realized basically everything in the Kashyyk battle was in the trailers.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

This really doesn't seem like it has the "tone" of what makes Star Wars fun. Hopes are not high.

This kind of response is weirdly refreshing after the reshoots thread of concern over it being too traditional Star Wars.

 

[Shaanyboi]

It's going to be as epic as Episode III

Ugh

 

[MMarston]

Calling it now

Mads is getting Rope Guy'd

 

[sphagnum]

The X-Wings swooping in at night is probably the beginning of the battle mentioned in the ANH crawl.

"Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet."

 

[Toxi]

They still havent shows Mads. I suspect he will be shown in flashbacks mostly.

Flashbacks... I just realized Star Wars is practically devoid of flashbacks. Only example I can think of in the movies is The Force Awakens, and there it's a Force vision.
