I love this point
The hype is real
Huh. Watching that gif and rewatching the trailer I just noticed something. Is Kylo holding
Luke's ROTJ lightsaber hilt in his left hand...?
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
The new TIE fighters have this red streak/section, wondering if there's an functional reason for that, or if it's just aesthetic. One thing about the new ones is that
, I wonder if there were TIE models in the OT that had this, think not.
there's room for a pilot on both sides (lego set reveals this)

Make it be a Disney Tab. Then we can lump in Marvel there.

Good question! And one the trailer didn't answer. It's almost like they made a trailer that doesn't tell people everything, and one that beckons them to the theater to find out.

It's the same TIE that you see firing on Stormtroopers in a hanger bay from the teasers. Finn uses it to flee and they shoot him down.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
Maybe he was sabotaged?
I feel i have to cover my bases a bit, people have been very sensitive in here about spoilers :3

That took me longer than it should have.

Holy shit I am dying, thank you!
And Ridley's reaction is so endearing.

We are laughing but you know what? That isn't too far off from Jar Jar in the prequels.

Funny you two bring up RoTS and spoilery trailers. Someone posting the Episode I trailer above me made me go back and watch all of the prequel trailers.
That Episode III trailer gives away EVERYTHING. Now in all fairness, it being the last prequel meant that we knew ultimately where it had to end before even going into it, but we didn't have to know how they got there. Literally every major plot point gets shown in that trailer. You don't even have to watch the movie, you can just pop that two minute trailer on and you'll be good.

This is a CGI shot and the camera work is still so frickin cool.

Impossible, even with a computer!
I bet any money JJ makes the descent silent, eh did that so often in the Star Trek movies, from high audio to complete silence in space.
I like the effect tbh
Amazing.Then you'll love this one.
Have to say, people talk about Phantom Menace having good trailers.. but how people managed to stay hyped even after seeing Jar Jar.. I don't know.
ceremonnial greatsword, makes me think of Spanish Inquisition
yeah, star trek had great composition too, same guys

I would say my favorite part of the trailer is seeing all those modern effects. It looks amazing. I can't wait to see to this movie.
I really liked the shots of that bumbling red robot in that Tibetan looking place that that they showed.

Yeah, is it only me that thinks The Phantom Menace trailer looks shit?
Never hyped me up originally and it looks even worse now.

That robot looked like an aperture robot or something. Star Wars is Half Life 3 confirmed!

It's really the first time we are getting what I would call a visually convincing Star Wars
The originals were great for the time but those effects aren't fooling anyone, and the prequel CGI is just too dodgy because the technology wasn't quite ready
The mix of practical effects combined with state of the art CG is really paying off for Ep 7

I think all the prequel trailers are bad.
The robot is practical, not CGI btw

It's like...he ENHANCES every scene he's in. What an awesome character.

Same. Reminds me of 2001. More recently Gravity, but that has music on top.

It's not impossible. I used to record John Boyega in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters.

I don't care if it's CGI or Practical. It looks pretty great to me.
Yeah i listend to the rebel force radio trailer breakdown, they have a guy who has worked on Lucasarts films before and has been around Pinewood during filming, knows people there, he says he saw footage of it.
Now it could be "supplemented" but he said it was a smaller person controlling it
My point was to enhance your point, its both awesome and practical
I was both agreeing with you and hoping to make it sound cooler

Deader than Porkins.Then you'll love this one.
The initial trailer does indeed have Jar Jar antics in it. But that's the first hint of new Star Wars after 16 years, so people pass over it, they were too excited (and also trailers being super exciting was still relatively new even in 1999).
In the best TPM trailer, the number 2 (not to be confused with the number 2 that represents the film's quality) one, there is literally about one shot of Anakin and Jar Jar in the whole thing. That trailer frames the movie as a siege/war movie where they're attempting to liberate an occupied world.
Technically the film's plot really is that, but yeah, TPM is not a siege/war movie.
Grover Cleveland

Yep.
The first thing you notice going from TFA's trailers back to the prequel trailers is how much damn dialogue Lucas tried to pack into those trailers.
Especially egregious when the dialogue ranges from decent to atrocious.
Yeah, TPM trailer hasn't aged well at all. Certain things are just "off". The awkward handshake between Anakin and Obi Wan, the bad CGI, Jar Jar, etc. really stick out to me now.
I think at the time I didn't really care because I didn't believe that you could make a terrible Star Wars movie. I was wrong. I was so very wrong.

I wish I could stream the OT on my phone right nizow
Looks like a missile trail right at the beginning just before the explosion.
heh, it's true. They even show you glimpses of Order fucking 66.
Good thing the trailers for TFA have been all hype, no spoilers. I mean - obviously the trailer itself is a spoiler for the movie, but if you haven't read the leaked script (and I haven't), then you'd have no idea about the film's plot. And that's a great thing.

I love both CGI and Practical. I am looking forward to the movie regardless of the effects. I am very very excited myself about seeing the movie. I apologize if I seemed a little harsh.
As for the Robot, if that Robot is mostly Practical, I have to say that Practical effects have really advanced. Now that would be impressive.
Posted yet? Time for the costar's reaction to the trailer.
That moment when it hits you that you're part of one of the biggest film franchises in history.
oh god, so sweet, superstar over night. =)

Sounds like Lupita to me.
I love the surprise honestly, everyone was so sure BB8 was CGI, nope, when I saw that red Robot I thought CGI and was told different, its incredible to me the lengths they are going to, theres no need to go to the extra effort but they are doing it because, frankly, it will hold up better and does fool the eyes.
Lupitas character will be interesting being ALL CGI, would like to see it in motion, I know the performance will be great at least.
