I wonder if anything in this trilogy will reach the perfection of this moment.
That looks incredibly sloppy, look at their feet. Totally off-balance

Star Wars: The Force Awakens |OT| It's Gonna Be Great

Still my favorite lightsaber fight. The music was on point.
It's almost as if it feels human.

Since we're talking the blue light speed effect, I'm going to take this time to remind everyone that these Dualshock 4 stickers exist.

I doubt it will be more perfect than the ROTJ duel, but I really like how this scene in the trailer is filmed from behind one of the fighters, instead of sideways:

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Dec 18th. So there will be no "Qui Gon gets stabbed and killed by Darth Maul" track titles to spoil things this time.

I'm sure the track titles will be known/leaked well in advance but yeah they will probably be vaguely named anyway.

That was a one-off. Unlikely to happen again.

Crap, I don't know the black guys name but I love his fucking reaction!
First glimpse
I'm ready son! Come at me!
His reaction from behind the sith.
"Shit! He's not dicking around!" My body isn't ready.
Then he motions backwards

Very intrigued to see how the fights are shot, quick cuts? continuous? flashy?
I think most can agree the reason Empires fight is so perfect is the mixture of emotion, simplicity and story, the story reads through the fight and the fight in itself is a story.
Vader gains respect for Luke in the story, theres a whole narrative there where he uses one hand disrespectfully and once he realises Luke is a fighter, he wont give in, he engages him as an equal, defeats him but offers him a chance to join his side.

Great scene indeed, and a favorite as a kid. No where near as effective without the score, though. William's incredible score is what adds a great deal of emotional depth to so many scenes.

|OT| Goodbye Thrawn. Hello Kylo.
And not one backflip in sight. I swear, I really hope there's no of that over the top ridiculous fight choreography in this trilogy.

Best part of that fight is after Vader throws all that shit at Luke and he flies out the window, next time he sees him Vader: "All right enough of this shit" And starts wailing on Luke.
I hate to always quote Plinkett, but the fact that you can actually see the fight changing based on the characters is so much more interesting than just choreography. Every single prequel fight is just a series of movements until someone wins. You never see fear, confidence, anger, or any other emotions in any of the fighting styles.
Boyega's reaction alone gives me hope that the new trilogy will go back to the old ways.

It's perfect, so of course the person who will make the OT will not use it and will instead use something lame to be original.
I doubt it will be more perfect than the ROTJ duel, but I really like how this scene in the trailer is filmed from behind one of the fighters, instead of sideways:
This one moment is more engaging than any in all of the prequel fights, so I'm optimistic. The OT fights are about way more than swinging lightsabers, and the emotion on display coupled with what looks like a good character arc have me hopeful the new film understand this.
I think it's from two different points in the fight as the blue lightsaber is extending in both shots, but still.

Yeah, I'm guessing Kylo sends Finn and the lightsaber flying at some point. The second part's after he gets up again.
Well there is a direct change in his tone in the two images, the first he is clearly confident, holding the lightsaber high up, its not a defensive pose either, the second one he is petrified. We also know that Kylo comes into the fight with his helmet on per the very first teaser where hes limping through the forrest.
We already have a narrative where "something" has changed to make Finn go from confident to scared and Kylo from Helmet to uncovered, theres already some raw emotion there, which is great to see.

All I can say is that Kylo Ren is bad ass and he better not be a Darth Maul and have minimal screen time and die at the end in a cheesy fashion.
It's great to have people actually reacting to things in front of them and not shit like this:

Obi wan jumping down into a couple hundred droids armed with no backup is one of the most stupid things in the prequels, its out of character, its contrary to advice he has given before.
Im sure someone will say "Oh he read Grievous mind and knew he wouldnt have him killed"
Oh...so he knew the intentions of everything down there, every thing that could have killed him...right.

He's on all the merchandise. I think it's very unlikely. I have a feeling General Hux will be the one stop villain. Hopefully he isn't because Domhnall Gleeson's great. They might have to make room for Benicio Del Toro in VIII though..
Dat gait. Dat swagger.
That looks comical. Not badass.
Looks menacing as fuck to me, not seen him limping in other clips which means he is probably injured...and pissed about it.

I fail to see how it's comical.
Kylo will live to Episode VIII at a minimum. He is probably the big twist mirroring
"No I am your XXXX"
Will be interesting if he will be the character that will be allowed redemption or if Rey is at one point playing with the fire of the dark side and then returning from the brink.

Oh damn didnt notice he was afraid the first time.....woah....he looks like someone is pointing a gun at him....that is awesome
