Star Wars 7 shit talk

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

I would buy it - toppling the Empire brings freedom but not necessarily material improvements... splinter factions, ongoing civil war, supply lines are all screwed up, local capital is sketched out and plays it safe rather than investing in new planetary infrastructure, kessel runs are made on banks, galactic depression follows, etc. Trick is to pull it off without having it feel like the efforts of our heroes in the original trilogy were all for nothing.

"my father HAS it"?

!! didn't even catch this

I hope there's some exploration of post-Imperial taxation on trade routes.

"you kids are so spoiled - i used to BEG to get power converters, and I ask you to pick one up on your way back and you bitch!"

"you're a nerf herder just like your father"

The ruined Vader mask reminded me of Lecter's mask in Hannibal. I imagine I'm on my own in hoping that this new SW movie has some of Hannibal's wayward black comedy.

chrometrooper looks like some of the crazy experimental armor prototypes from the Dark Forces video game

Goosebumps. I barely remember seeing Return of the Jedi in a long-since closed local theater, it had a cool neon Pac Man sign above the arcade.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

most definitely

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

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.

Star Wars: Episode VIII: Tales of Fraud and Malfeasance in Stormtrooper Hiring Practices

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

nothing about this is going to be great

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

no, and it figures.

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.

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

Music was good. Cool motorcycle.

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

then han notes that shit just got real

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

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.

Doing a death star 2 run through the engines of a ruined capital ship >>>>>>>>>>>

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

I waited to watch the trailer bcz I didnt want to just peer at it on my phone

mr veg had it cued up on the big tv when i got home <3

fuck this was so rad, like more than i was hoping

ruined star destroyer on some ozymandias shit, so great

can imagine people capitalizing on the ruins of the war, living in and salvaging shit from starships crashed on to their planets

FLYING YR MILLENNIUM FALCON THROUGH RUINED SHIPS

omg

Oh you mean there's gonna be new jawas xp

--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.

utinni!

How does it work? Magnets?

Haha keep fighting the fight, man.

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
