Star Wars 7 shit talk

aaaah the falcon was all I needed to grin like a loon, that was doooope

Looked pretty cool. Why would someone make a lightsaber with little laser blades by the handle? Lose a lot of fingers that way.

It's be good if Driver's character makes a lightsaber like that cos he thinks it's cool and then he slices his hand off the first time he tries to use it

Soccer droid is totally breaking the fourth wall.

wedge is not in ep 7, he turned down the role

that has to be isaac surely

Be great if in this Star Wars world they had to ban lightsabers because too many kids were losing fingers. The Lawn Darts of a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away.

Soccer droid instantly made me think of

Yeah it is Isaac it seems.

Goosebumps moment for me was seeing the X-Wings fly in low over the water

Still my favorite starfighter design

Yeah the water spray was a decent touch.

otm x-wings super dope

It'll be so weird if this turns out to be good. Star Wars. Good. In my lifetime.

even the sand dunes made me happy

wedge is not in ep 7, he turned down the role

He got clear. He couldn't do any more good back there.

lol

15 years after watching them for the first time the phrase "Lose Tiree, lost Dutch, they came from behind" still pops into my head from time to time

Hope they keep the sort of 70s modular, low-tech grunge approach to any new technology introduced

Hated the sleek all in one monopod approach of the prequels

An X-Wing is not an iPod

even the sand dunes made me happy

I dunno, I sort of feel they should get over Tatooine.

Yeah for a place farthest from the center of the universe they sure keep going back...

Note the best SW film is the only one not to feature it.

Tax rebates for Morocco make it irresistible

apparently it's not Tatooine but just a small desert region on some other planet (lol)

A PLANET WITH MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT? That's it, I'm out.

soccerball droids reminded me of the zeroids from terrahawks

Who ever heard of a planet having diverse small regions?

Hope they keep the sort of 70s modular, low-tech grunge approach to any new technology introduced

Ditto for the sound effects. I mean,

Sound designer Ben Burtt created the distinctive TIE fighter sound effect by combining an elephant call with a car driving on wet pavement.[1][2]

it is required to sell the Star Wars Catan boardgames

xpost -- New version to feature an elephant driving a car over Pavement.

Whenever I hear a Land Rover (the proper versions) drive by me at speed, it sounds very like a typical SW vehicle.

It'll be so weird if this turns out to be good. Star WarsJJ Abrams. Good. In my lifetime.

Me being me I'm already thinking "Well it's a hilt to catch another lightsaber so I can see why and" *wibbles*

this is otm and hopefully there will be wire hilts with light bends. maybe they can also cut really crusty bread with little light knives at the breakfast table.

ball and chain lightsaber or gtfo

A lightsaber that can also be worn as a hat

I want it to be a custom made lightsaber that shoots out light from the ends because, duh, no one's around to teach you how to make them and he had to make one from scratch. Original SW movies were full of stuff that was broken and/or janky -- totally agree w sentiment above about hoping these movies aren't too slick.

This will feature the junkiest tech that the best CGI can buy.

Was on board with all of it apart from the flying fudgesicle.

i hope so

i want 70s-80s beat-up space, not shiny 90s bullshit space

xpost -- friend of a friend said it looked more like the world's biggest USB drive.

looks shit.

A lightsaber in a Star Wars movie that looks like something from a video game whose weapons partly parodied the lightsabers in Star Wars movies...

I thought Moses in the Desert was this year? <- jokes I wish I'd thought of first.

that weird human camera operator-simulated fake shake documentary camera thing on the CG shots always makes me think they actually generated a cg camera operator off screen along with some burly crew to shake the dude around while he's trying to get a smooth shot of the falcon. then that makes me think of the CG craft services table and what kind of CG food they eat.

Feel like if you did that it'd just cut off the extendo part

http://i.imgur.com/fDgRya3.jpg

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
