It's interesting that both the Millenium Falcon and the X-Wings are being flown inside the atmosphere. Not really something I expect from the franchise.

We've seen the Falcon being flown in the atmosphere a bunch of times, just not engaged in combat. Taking off from Tatooine, Cloud City, etc.

what does kevin smith think?

 

[Inferno313]

What about it? I just typed the named actors having cameos

It's all edited by random internet dudes. None of that is confirmed or even likely to be true.

 

[DrForester]

Now imagine Kenny Baker running for his life inside it.

 

[Cheat Code]

That was awful.

They shouldn't have released anything until they actually had something worthwhile to show.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I hope this person doesn't think stormtroopers are white...

 

[BattleMonkey]

Uh-huh...

This was pretty much more impractical than broadsword saber.

 

[Dreamwriter]

You dont fuck with lightsabers, I knew it when Lucas wasnt on board, he would never ever go with this stupid shit, it loses the elegant of the weapon, now it looks all Sweinder or something.

Really bad.

Don't forget, Lucas wanted the lightsabers to be really heavy things that required two hands to swing, a lot like a sword you would expect to have heavy hilts on.

 

[Jamie OD]

The official match ball of Euro 2016.

 

[guek]

I still hate you, Abrams.

Trailer looks whatever

 

[Squall5042]

I think it's cute. No one is going to tell me this is Jar Jar level.

Obviously R2-D2 and C-3P0 had a baby

 

[Philippo]

Got me hyped as fuck.
Dat lightsaber, amazing.

Also, Benedict Cumberbatch was definitely doing the voice over.

 

[rokkerkory]

Anyone have a YouTube link yet?

Force is strong with this one

 

[Rootbeer]

Trailer delivered for me. Damn, those leaks continue to be spot on... The description for this was online for something like two weeks? Or more.

 

[Beelzebufo]

To those complaining about the lightsaber:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber#Lightsaber-resistant_materials

There are (or maybe were) enough resistant materials (in the EU)...
So the Sith could alway wear some resistant gloves/armor on the arms.

Anyway: HYPE!

I wasn't laughing because of the logistics, I was laughing because the thought process seemed to be "Darth Maul was badass and he had two lightsabers, so let's give our guy THREE lightsabers. So badass."

It's just silly haha.

Is it safe to say The Force Awakens is already the most hyped movie of all time? After witnessing the insane mania leading up to the trailer and the trailer itself it obvious nothing has come close to this level of hype in the past 15 years. The Dark Knight, Avengers, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, etc. The attention on this film so far easily dwarfs them. The only thing in its way would be the Phantom Menace and it is looking to me like it is on track to surpass that in hype.

 

[SofaKing]

Uh-huh...

just noticed... why does the hilt grow in size after the other side generates?....

hmmm must be a cgi error

 

[Count Dookkake]

Just watched on sweaty phone after running a race. For now... nice.

 

[Mariolee]

It's weird seeing the Millenium Falcon in pure CG like this. I'm so used to the model they used for the original trilogy. I don't mean that as a negative; it's just different.

 

[strafer]

Dat lightsaber, amazing.

Nah, it was Mark Hammill

dude has the voice of the devil

 

[Crimson-Death]

A bit of clunky dialogue.
Not digging the "badass" lightsaber, unnecessary frills.
But the movie is going to have amazing visuals.
Hyped.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

10/10

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Now imagine Kenny Baker running for his life inside it.

I'm dying.

 

[Zebra]

The new R2D2?

Would make sense to have a more free-moving droid in the future, and it looks cute as hell.

I don't know how R2 got anywhere in the originals.

 

[Dark Ninja]

That no more heroes saber. Honestly though wasn't impressed maybe when the trailer comes out I'll get excited

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Thought it was fantastic. Better edited than anything put together in MGS game....

This post alone is more enjoyable than this trailer.

 

[TheBioLover]

That voice over sounds really like Cumberbatch, but he hasn't been confirmed for the film, right?

 

[Calcium]

what does kevin smith think?

Do you even have to ask? It's Kevin Smith. Of course he loves it.

 

[shield]

Wasn't a fan of the goofy new lightsaber, the football droid and the voice over, but besides that it was pretty good!

 

[Metaphoreus]

Star Wars/Star Fox 64 crossover film confirmed!

 

[Cheebo]

Nah, it was Mark Hammill

dude has the voice of the devil

It is clearly not Mark Hamill's 'evil' voice. It sounds nothing like him.

 

[Jack Scofield]

The shot of the X-Wings over the water looks great.

 

[Sub_Level]

Looks like a fun time.

 

[scitek]

and that Falcon shot was so much green screen I could puke

Agreed. They should've actually built a ship.

 

[Kade]

I really like that the lightsaber is no longer a perfectly straight glowing stick. If you look closely you can see the laser deforming and bits flying off and it looks really cool.

 

[Coreda]

The only lens flares I saw in the trailer were from the sun which is to be expected.

Seriously. It's the sun. Unlike the use of horizontal flares for purely aesthetic reasons in Trek.

 

[Xater]

just noticed... why does the hilt grow in size after the other side generates?....

hmmm must be a cgi error

Dude he is moving his wrist.

 

[Dabanton]

It begins.

Haha the upcoming comments will be tremendous. Extreme right wing assholes who see even their entertainment through their anti liberal worldview.

 

[Mariolee]

what does kevin smith think?

Probably the most amazing thing since sliced

Spoiler

Darth Maul.

 

[Mononoke]

Dat lightsaber, amazing.

Also, Benedict Cumberbatch was definitely doing the voice over.

Whoever it was, the voice over was my least favorite part lol just sounded tacky.

 

[Days like these...]

Light saber, soccer ball droid and that box/speeder look stupid. I'm totally whelmed by this trailer. I wonder if it can be wise than the prequels?

 

[GavinUK86]

LOL at people arguing about that AWESOME LOOKING HILT. Who gives a shit if it "wouldn't work". It looks amazing. That was a great trailer. Everything I'd hoped for.

Wake me up Dec '15 please!

 

[btrboyev]

just noticed... why does the hilt grow in size after the other side generates?....

hmmm must be a cgi error

it doesn't, it's angled for a sec then he moves it forward

Phantom Menace hype cannot be beaten. Also we expect terrible Star Wars movies now so hype will be in check.

 

[SgtCobra]

I don't know how R2 got anywhere in the originals.

It was just....there...

The new one is cute.

 

[alexandros]

I didn't like it. It felt weird, off somehow, I can't quite put my finger on it.

 

[-griffy-]

I would still say Avengers had more.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Looks great!

It's crazy how good CGI can make Star Wars exciting.
