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

difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 17 April 2015 02:20 (nine years ago) link

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

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.
--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

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.

Mashable thinks it may be two connected but indpendently controllable robots: http://mashable.com/2015/04/16/star-wars-bb8-technology/?utm_cid=hp-hh-sec

Currently sitting in the Day 2 queue for a 10:30 am panel with EA previewing "Star Wars: Battlefront III." FINALLY.

Snowtroopers and....flametroopers?

Doktor Van Peebles (kingfish), Friday, 17 April 2015 16:49 (nine years ago) link

They're saving the Windtroopers and Earthtroopers and Spirittroopers for the next film.

did you guys forget we went over this soccer ball robot thing way upthread

Οὖτις, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:02 (nine years ago) link

tbh just been sitting here smugly about it

mh, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:12 (nine years ago) link

Oh, yeah that is an upside down super star destroyer! Such a cool effect.

Evan, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:20 (nine years ago) link

my whole confusion about the soccer ball robot was based on not being able to tell/see that the lower half was bisected

Οὖτις, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:22 (nine years ago) link

altho wait looking at that new clip it looks like it's *not* bisected? ok I have no idea how it works.

false i will judge u

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:32 (nine years ago) link

Reason why it's a big deal is previously we only saw it in that first trailer and this was a real-life and functional robot making its public debut yesterday.

©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:34 (nine years ago) link

caught an intern at work watching the trailer and asked him his take on the whole thing. he was pretty sure he'd seen the original trilogy first, though possibly all out of order - and definitely felt it was superior to the prequels, as any sensible person would. but his enthusiasm was way more tempered - not so much by the prequels, but by the fact that there were a whole bunch of blockbuster kid-oriented cross-promotional franchises when he was young. so he knew that jimmy kimmel and the dads of friends were shedding tears watching this thing, his pals were more "looks good, will check out." dude had no idea how novel the action figures were, or that some sad gen-xers saw episode one five times purely out of stockholm syndrome.

da croupier, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:34 (nine years ago) link

when it wasn't called "Episode One" and ppl knew when to quit

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:37 (nine years ago) link

it's crazy that, for instance, a twenty year old today was 6 when harry potter 1 came out

xpost morbs, i'm talking about "the phantom menace" - which was always called episode one. It's the original that some now call Episode Four

da croupier, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:39 (nine years ago) link

you know what's insane is that a fifty year old today was like nine when nixon retired
it's like
TIME

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:49 (nine years ago) link

forks if you're tired of your peers acknowledging when time's passing feels bizarre in certain contexts, buckle up you're in a for a bumpy 2nd half of your life

da croupier, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:51 (nine years ago) link

see, the whole numbering thing is a drag

Star Wars is now as old as Gone with the Wind was in 1977.
*BOOM*

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:51 (nine years ago) link

croup i'm pretty sure we're about the same age but tell me more about how strange it is that pop sensations of the nineties are like twenty-five years old now

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:53 (nine years ago) link

again, you should try to desensitize yourself this phenomenon before you hit 40

da croupier, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:54 (nine years ago) link

I think it's kinda weird that Terminator 3 is older now than Terminator 2 was when Terminator 3 came out, but only because TIME's march has made Arnold Schwarzenegger look just laughably implausible as an ageless killer robot in Terminator 5.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:55 (nine years ago) link

Wondering if someone perhaps compiled any kind of list or something that documents how long ago things of the 90s are.

March of Time Episode Eight: Nostalgia's Pull

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:57 (nine years ago) link

At the EA panel now. The battle that results in the crashed star destroyer in the trailer will be playable content in the new Battlefront two weeks before the movie opens.

I might like you better if we Yelped together (Phil D.), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:57 (nine years ago) link

That's nice and all, but how old is someone now if they were 5 when Saved By The Bell was on the air?
