Star Wars 7 shit talk

Also not sure if I'm feeling this weird plasma choppy lightsaber instead of the clean lines of the original

Re: extendo part -- but that makes sense. And I actually like the raggedy version of the blade, gives it a sense of being ad hoc/used universe.

Next thing I know ned you'll be defending jar jar

dudes maybe it's a T-Square, not a light saber, and black hoodie isn't sith but a contractor working on leia's summer cabin.

maybe he's a poor handyman who can't afford onea them there fancy expensive sabers & he made his own

ThinkGeek are going to end up selling a triple flame butane torch that looks like that lightsaber, aren't they?

or maybe he's a crazy woodsy klansman who just made a portable flaming cross to wave around

sorry

Also kind of getting tired of the desert but will take that over art-deco smoothness any day. I was also sort of impartial about this until the Millennium Falcon shot then I felt 9 years old again. It's not like there's any question that I will go and see this so the trailer almost doesn't matter.

In the first shot John Boyega looks so totally and completely like a student I had last semester that it sort of shocked me.

New X-Wing design - hell the entire trailer - reminds me of the original Ralph McQuarrie paintings. I like how they're reenacting the Dam Busters sequence that started all this.

I don't mind the desert planets when they're more like Barstow than something out of Cecil B DeMille. Mos Eisley felt false when it was retconned into a circus.

yeah, word is a lot of the new designs are drawn from McQuarrie's concept art

Jason Chen @diskopo -- Giving JJ Abrams control of both Trek and Wars seems like giving a guy both nuclear launch keys.

I like that bulky X-wing pilot helmet. It looks appropriately utilitarian.

Some really nice, properly cinematic shots in that teaser. Already looking better than the preekses.

tbf blair witch looked better than the preekses

Yeah, Xwings were only changed from blue to red since the original color didn't work too well with the blue screen.

Suckers.

*Shakey lifts the scales from my eyes* Wow Star was sucks

I like those notes at the end from the Imperial March sounding like a delicate Gustavo Santaolalla theme.

(by "like" I mean oh Christ)

is there a Vader breath right at the start or am i hearing things? i mean i know he's dead like.

Opening shot on sand dunes was very "don't worry you fanboy fucks, I'm gonna give you what you want"

Can't deny my excitement though. A whole fucking year to wait!

X-Wings gliding along the water

fwiw first time I watched it with the sound off and liked it more that way, but still looks promising

So does Lucas have literally nothing to do with this? I bet JJ is going to regret giving him his cell number.

"Listen, JJ, I have some great ideas for when you reissue this in 20 years ..."

Really like the shot of storm troopers looking like they're steeling themselves for a beach invasion

I think fanboys are as sick of Tattooine as everyone else

I more meant the style of the shot than anything

I just hope with the real trailer we get something besides the obligatory 2010s trailer narration by creepy gravelly villain guy. I sorta was hoping Iron Man 3, which used the ubiquity of the convention as a springboard to pull a legitimately good twist on the audience, would mark the end of that whole thing. Ironically, the last time I can remember it actually being good was for Revenge of the Sith, where McDiarmid's delivery almost convinces you it's going to be a compelling, well-acted Star Wars movie.

side-issue but this made me laugh from the Jar Jar wiki

Jar Jar appears in only a few scenes in Revenge of the Sith, and has no dialogue (besides a brief "'scuse me" at one point). He was originally given some dialogue in the beginning, but this was cut.

Trailer has piqued interest in spite of bitter cynicism based on previous resurrection.

How is the trailer anything other than trash? Nothing of interest. Just looked like a reboot.

are people allowed to find joy in things you don't like in your world, RT?

"I don't like this thing so it's objectively bad so I'm going to keep going to threads and tell people they have shit taste"

why do you people keep engaging with rt

there has never been a more obvious sock on this board. sorry for derail but cmon yall

you're forgetting about dave cool and missing no

just my 2cents

would have been great if jar jar's face had popped onto the screen in that first shot, Abrams should have done that just to troll everyone

i would lay a low money/high stakes bet that jar jar does a howard the duck style cameo in the post credits stinger scene for this movie

of the "lol jar jar motherfuckers" variety

would have been great if jar jar's face had popped onto screen in that first shot, but then the camera panned out to reveal that his head is no longer attached to a body and is on a spike outside the smoldering ashes of the imperial senate and then a disclaimer scrolled over that said that no george lucases were consulted in the development of this film.

George R. R. Martin, though, look out.

I hope Jar Jar is in this film

sadly according to wookiepedia a Gungan's life expectancy is 65 years so Jar Jar's probably been dead for a while

misa junior binks

brb starting online petition to retcon naboo as a test planet for one of the death star's super weapons. i don't think we can really afford to leave any loose ends on the gungan issue people

Of course we can't discount the possibility that Jar Jar's position as a galactic senator gave him access to life extending technology
