i stand with shakey

I showed the trailer to my six year old son. He liked it. I didn't think to ask him if he's pumped.

silverfish, Sunday, 30 November 2014 03:15 (nine years ago) link

He really likes the light saber. I think he might not have understood that those two short beams are supposed to be a hilt. He's imagining some sort of unwieldy triple light saber.

silverfish, Sunday, 30 November 2014 03:19 (nine years ago) link

I'ts been thirty years since good star wars. I only watched first prequel in cinema, hate all three of them. Why on earth would i be 'pumped'? Are you guys actually going to watch this?

I am a consumer whore and yes

I'm cautiously pumped. I will need to see more before advancing to 'stoked'. They seem to be aiming to recapture some of the look and feel of the originals (recon droid sound effects, etc.), which if nothing else is nice, pleasant, nostalgic.

'pumped'

ya'll are the ones who don't know things (Karl Malone), Sunday, 30 November 2014 03:52 (nine years ago) link

the thing about hilts is usually they aren't made out of blades

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 30 November 2014 03:59 (nine years ago) link

I have a young son who is the right age for this stuff so yes, I'm almost certainly going to see this. This looks much better than the countless superhero movies he also wants to see.

The JJ Abrams aesthetic actually seems like a good fit for the star wars universe.

silverfish, Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:00 (nine years ago) link

also yeah i think the trailer's great for trying to reassure nerds that they're going back to the "old" ways of the original trilogy

but then i remember

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:01 (nine years ago) link

and yeah of course i'm seeing this it's sw

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:01 (nine years ago) link

Did you see the prequels? I think i saw iii in 2012. I'll get to vii at some point.

Frederik B, Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:06 (nine years ago) link

I... watched the wrong trailer (the fan-made fake one with Ford and von Sydow).

Now I have watched the authentic one.

I am still unpumped.

"Unpumped" from you is practically a ringing endorsement!

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:13 (nine years ago) link

I'm also intrigued to see a new Star Wars movie that isn't bound down by a lot of prior storyline commitments. The prequels had all these dots to connect. They had to be about Vader. They had to tediously unpack a throwaway line from Episode 4 about the "Clone Wars". This time, who knows?

jmm, Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:23 (nine years ago) link

you can count on JJ for incessant unnecessary callbacks

Simon H., Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:35 (nine years ago) link

I appreciate all the extended book/game canon being flushed down the toilet

valleys of your mind (mh), Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:38 (nine years ago) link

At worst I'm out ten bucks and two hours of my time so why would I not go?

ilxors will question your taste

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 30 November 2014 04:44 (nine years ago) link

I'd have an opinion about the trailer except I am way too distracted by the fact that this "hilt" wouldn't do it's job since the opponent lightsaber "blade" would fit inside the corner below the hilt beam and destroy it. It wouldn't block anything. What is this bullshit gimmick? Fucking infomercial lightsabers.

don't worry about the hilt

the hilt has invisible hilts attached to it to deflect blows to the (visible) hilt

ya'll are the ones who don't know things (Karl Malone), Sunday, 30 November 2014 05:05 (nine years ago) link

yea, there is another hilt above the visible hilt

I spose there's something symmetrical about this opening in the month when the Grand Moff Rodham is crisscrossing Iowa and New Hampshire.

things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 30 November 2014 05:07 (nine years ago) link

I say the beam continues inside the metal hilt part. It needs to be enclosed next to the handle so that you don't scorch your hand.

jmm, Sunday, 30 November 2014 05:08 (nine years ago) link

I've been imagining a post-Star Wars sequel since I was a kid so this is exciting! Who is driving the Falcon?

Like I wonder if Chewie is gonna be in this with an eyepatch and some grey hair.

this criticism does not make sense. the hilt needs to be able to stop a lightsaber and so must be made of lightsaber. it is not necessarily a blade. the whole concept of blade and non-blade lightsaber is just...maybe you don't have what it takes to be a tru believer.

ok but in real sword land if the hilt had to be made out of blades then they would've just said "let's not do this because it will backfire and hurt real quick" so thanks again george lucas

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 30 November 2014 07:06 (nine years ago) link

yeah i'm putting this one on george

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Sunday, 30 November 2014 07:06 (nine years ago) link

well there's no guarantee that the lighthilt would do damage. maybe the photon density is lower in the hilt or something.

and maybe when the dude hits the lighthilt with a lightsaber it's all SSKKKGGGGHHH! SKKKGGHH SKKKGGGGGHHH! and he's like AWWWW YEAH! and that makes it worth the risk.

is Adam Driver wielding the hilt? wh y is there no frontal shot of his lightsaber?

No lens flare. Some teal but not much orange. I'm OK with this teaser.

MaresNest, Sunday, 30 November 2014 10:53 (nine years ago) link

xp: Oh, there was lens flare alright. I noticed it on the first view.

I feel like this teaser does not provide me with enough information to confidently pump yet.

yeah the lack of T and O is a very good thing. are we past peak T and O now? i think we must be, thing really seems to have tailed off.

piscesx, Sunday, 30 November 2014 11:20 (nine years ago) link

I watched Walter Mitty the other day and it was crazy levels of T&O in places.

MaresNest, Sunday, 30 November 2014 11:25 (nine years ago) link

I'm OK with lens flare when it's used to make special effects blend in. Lens flare when the Falcon passes by a sun is fine.

All I want to know is how Obama will mess this up, too.

Can't wait for this HD Star Wars reboot by JJ 'I'm a movie director' Abrams.

Raccoon Tanuki, Sunday, 30 November 2014 15:28 (nine years ago) link

no matter how craptastic it is, it's NOT A REBOOT

they have 3 fossils reprising their roles for God's sake

Six fossils, counting whacky sidekicks.
