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

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

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

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

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.

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

nashwan, Friday, 28 November 2014 16:45 (nine years ago) link

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

Who ever heard of a planet having diverse small regions?

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]

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.

ball and chain lightsaber or gtfo

nashwan, Friday, 28 November 2014 16:56 (nine years ago) link

A lightsaber that can also be worn as a hat

, Friday, 28 November 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link

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.

Dominique, Friday, 28 November 2014 16:59 (nine years ago) link

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

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 28 November 2014 17:15 (nine years ago) link

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

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.

Andrew Farrell, Friday, 28 November 2014 19:01 (nine years ago) link

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

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

, Friday, 28 November 2014 19:08 (nine years ago) link

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.

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.

Philip Nunez, Friday, 28 November 2014 19:15 (nine years ago) link

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

difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 28 November 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link

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

just like Nietzsche but with jokes (snoball), Friday, 28 November 2014 19:24 (nine years ago) link

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

difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 28 November 2014 19:31 (nine years ago) link

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.

joygoat, Friday, 28 November 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link

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.

Elvis Telecom, Friday, 28 November 2014 21:08 (nine years ago) link

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.

Elvis Telecom, Friday, 28 November 2014 21:10 (nine years ago) link

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.

Daniel, Esq 2, Friday, 28 November 2014 21:21 (nine years ago) link

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

jmm, Friday, 28 November 2014 21:21 (nine years ago) link

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