Not enough sweat.

But seriously, those all suck so they don't count

haha, well the rumor I read was that it would include a younger version of one of the older characters in this movie...which would be a cool way to bridge the films. So, maybe the old-cyborg character...which has been assumed to be MvS, but mayb'e it's Serkis? (since it may well be his voice in the teaser) He would more or less be playing himself in the spinoff - not sure if he's leading man material though.

And those rumors of Carrie's daughter being on set for a younger Leia scene - what if those weren't flashbacks but testing for the spinoff? Of course we'd get more Vader too... Hopefully the spin-offs have actually interesting stories that intersect with events from the past...instead of just being SW: Darth Vader, SW: Boba Fett, etc.

Maybe the 'episode' movies are equivalent to the Marvel's Avengers movies...Marvel's trying to build up their solo films into bringing them as close as possible to The Avengers type of success... so, hopefully the SW series tries the same thing...

That's a better performance than Natalie Portman and Kiera Knightley combined.

Ahh, the start of a new era. Looks like they are moving in the right direction.

So Oscar Isaac is the x-wing pilot, so that could mean that Han is still flying the Falcon, not him.

Dunno the big deal about the lightsaber. I remember Count Dooku had a curved lightsaber handle that was historically stylish or whatever.

And it's so clearly evocative of this...

...and we know how well that movie turned out.

Strevlac

The Hyperbole Police will not be pleased.

But yeah, you're right. Obviously that means we both think she's first in line at 2016 academy awards ceremony.

Why So Blu?

Nah, no nerd rage. I'm just pointing elementary shit out. Even fucking video games can get it right. It's Star Wars, so I guess it should get a pass, right?

Michael Corvin

Nah, that post was funny and clearly a joke.

I want a scene where Han and Chewy are in a gun fight with a hidden adversary and then Benedict Cumberbatch steps out of the shadows and says "I am...Boba Fett".

I'm more interested in the blade itself. Is that how ALL the lightsabers are going to look? The actual blade looks more "alive" with some sort of energy beams running through it (instead of just a solid glowing color of light).

I hope that's just that one model and JJ didn't see fit to change how lightsabers look in general.

Abob Teff

I think it is the droid's body. The ball is the same color scheme as the head. It still makes no sense in any context ...

Slop, it ain't about me. A-FUCKING-MEN!!!!

This occurred to me based on the stature of the person. Watching the gif, there does seem to be some hip wiggle. I'm not 100% convinced, but I'd buy in. I also thought this might be Andy Szerkis just based on the unsual body movement.

Can we get a "nuke them from orbit" gif followed by the Death Star firing?

Looked like an engine from a pod racer to me.

Can I just say THIS POPCORN IS DELICIOUS!

Pretty good trailer breakdown from Slashfilm.

Ranger

That is a great breakdown, thanks.

Screen caps are good....

The one thing I have learned about teasers and trailers is most of the time they are better then the movies, and really set up a false expectation. The PT trailers were great, and those movies paled in comparison.

I thought the first Episode 7 teaser was OK, as it didn't get the juices flowing like the PT trailers. And you know what, I'm good with that. I will say that it FEELS like the OT, and that is a huge hurdle for this trilogy to accomplish. The PT never felt like the OT, because essentially these movies all need to link up for them to work. I give JJ & Disney credit for not showing Luke, Leia or Han, as that would have been an easy sell in the first teaser to the old fans. They were essentially saying that here are the new leads of the movie (Boyega, Ridley, Isaac), so we are not going to fool you showing the Big 3 and make you think they will have the same screentime as they did in the OT.

I know Lucas put suited Vader in BOTH Episode 3 trailers, only to see him in the damn movie for 5 minutes, and if felt like a cheap marketing stunt. In the end, its the movie that counts, not the trailers, so I'm glad I'm not going crazy with excitement today, as it will temper my expectations come next December. But its still fun for all of us to feel 10 years old again talking about this stuff, as SW is the only franchise that still works for me on this level as an adult.

I do have to say, I'm stoked to not see any of JJ's patented over the top lens-flare in that trailer.

I'm pretty much on the side of "this new lightsaber seems kind of stupid," but this article is worse.

CharlieK

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Timber

Why wouldn't he hide on Tatooine? Makes as much sense as hiding a Sith Lord's child on the planet he grew up on and with his "brother" no less.

Sean O'Hara

That never made any sense.

Why So Blu?

Why worse? Because he makes sense and points it out without holding back? Good. Then it did it's job.
