I was a bit surprised by "my father HAS it" too, but you know, ol' ghost Anakin loves to hang around parties, Luke's kids have probably have seen granpa's "vanishing act" magic trick on every birthday.

But speaking of Luke's kids, are we to assume the woman in the trailer is his daughter, the one he's talking to in the voiceover? Because even if Luke married a black woman, the Attack the Block guy doesn't look like he's his son, so I assume he's not related to the Skywalkers?

anybody got some examples of a belated sequel that didn't suck? never saw color of money or blues brothers 2000

Before Sunset was 9 years after Before Sunrise, which I guess isn't *that* long, but I don't think anyone was expecting for a sequel, let alone for it to be as good as the original.

Tuomas, Thursday, 16 April 2015 20:49 (nine years ago) link

And yeah, Color of Money is pretty great, though admittedly I've never seen the movie it's a sequel to.

Tuomas, Thursday, 16 April 2015 20:53 (nine years ago) link

The Rescuers Down Under is the only one coming to mind that I've seen and can say is basically a fine movie, as good as the first in some ways, better in some, worse in others. I've heard defenses of The Two Jakes, enough that it's on my to-watch list. I heard OK things about Tron: Legacy, and people rave about Toy Story 3.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 16 April 2015 20:54 (nine years ago) link

Toy Story 3 is brilliant, the best of three movies. And Tron Legacy was okay, but I don't think the original Tron is a masterpiece either, they're pretty much on the same level.

Tuomas, Thursday, 16 April 2015 20:56 (nine years ago) link

doubt there'll be any kind of tech downgrade but wouldn't it be cool if there were

Abrams said in the panel that he wanted to tech to be even more used up in this movie.

Tron Legacy is straight garbage, at least the original was inventive and cutely humourous.

I liked Goldeneye a lot when it came out.

xp A tech downgrade makes sense. I'm glad they thought of that. The galactic economy has to have declined a lot following the collapse of the core of the Empire.

jmm, Thursday, 16 April 2015 21:07 (nine years ago) link

After the collapse of the Trade Federation and the heavy fascism of the Galactic Empire, I can imagine only oligarchs have access to advanced technology and everyone else is fighting over scraps.

A coupla shots looked straight out of KotOR so I'm happy.

no, and it figures.

oh man i hope the plot of this movie revolves around our heroes' efforts to rebuild the shattered Trade Federation, root out graft, and restore consistent inspection standards for interstellar produce shipments

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 16 April 2015 21:18 (nine years ago) link

most definitely

also a side-quest where they have to seek out an old robot factory to repair R2-D2's rocket thrusters

mh, Thursday, 16 April 2015 21:21 (nine years ago) link

C3PO's skills with etiquette and protocol finally prove mightier than the Force, as it all comes down to an all-nighter negotiation over the future of spaceship part surpluses and the efforts of one Rebel faction to exploit Dagobah's abundant petroleum reserves.

man how great would it be if ford/hamill/fisher/chewie are only in the movie for like 20 minutes before the ship they're on gets blown up by the new big bad guy

I've seen both and color of money is better and great. People got mad about a great director filming billiard balls and didn't give it the chance it deserved.

hoping just chewie dies and then the rest all yell "CHEWIE!" in unison at the explosion

New trailer is fine. We get that it's vader's helmet though, JJ

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 16 April 2015 22:02 (nine years ago) link

Watching that Celebration thing. I love the new cast, I'm pretty excited to see what they do. Also LOL @ Carrie Fischer she is always hilarious.

They had the real soccer ball droid come out on stage it is pretty amazing feat of engineering. How does it work? Magnets?

dead star destroyer half buried in the desert was quite something. i hope that kind of thing is a pervasive backdrop throughout.

龜 can we meet somewhere to watch this when it comes out? I feel our shared SW knowledge and love would enhance the experience

Sure but I don't got no credits

--Matt Armstrong

Wtf. People didn't like it because it was mediocre sequel to a great film and it was before Scorcese turned to garbage. Filming billiard balls had dick to do with it. Next some moron will rep for Sting II.

Haha keep fighting the fight, man.

Andrew Farrell, Friday, 17 April 2015 10:14 (nine years ago) link

So how many teasers and trailers will be released before the main film? Will they leave anything left to surprise us? That's my concern anyway

Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Friday, 17 April 2015 12:41 (nine years ago) link

that shiny (chrome?) stormtrooper in the cape looked way cool.

Will they leave anything left to surprise us?

If you haven't seen Carrie Fisher's work (done) in Maps to the Stars, I would say YES.
