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

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.

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

It's crazy that some people who were 33 when the last Star Wars teaser trailer came out are now 34.

there's a real irony to complaining about someone acknowledging the passing of time on a star wars 7 thread
or wait, is that the problem

regardless of how you'd like to reframe it, "a twenty year old today was 6 when harry potter 1 came out" is kind of stupid to care about but seriously this is the sort of non-argument that you've made a name for yourself with and to join in is to lose

Just watched that Battlefront trailer, disappointed that no gameplay is shown.

They did say that is in-engine footage, though, so my expectations are high.

It was impressive for what it was I guess. I wonder if it would still have the single player mode.

If you're watching Star Wars Rebels on Disney XD, they released a season 2 trailer today. I got shut out of seeing the season 2 premiere early -- the queue line, for a 5:30 screening, was full to capacity by 2:45pm. I missed it by about 15 minutes. Anyway, shit's going down in season 2:

I did attend the panel this morning with the producers and voice cast. Freddie Prinze, Jr. hit the jackpot with this and he knows it.

Voicing a well-liked cartoon character means paid appearances at all kinds of events for decades, I'd guess
― mh, Sunday, 19 April 2015 15:35 (nine years ago) link
Freddie prinze jr became a writer for the wwe (or whatever they call it now) in the last decade. I think he may just be an enthusiastic nerd.

hopefully it's not just Fast and furious 8: in space

I wouldn't mind that

A well-made action-adventure with a very diverse cast wouldn't be a bad role model, no.
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 19 April 2015 17:40 (nine years ago) link
I don't see a reason to believe that it wouldn't have enough depth, if that's what's being implied via F&F8 comment?
― Evan, Sunday, 19 April 2015 17:59 (nine years ago) link
i have the same worry, cf: new trek movies
― the late great, Monday, 20 April 2015 19:34 (nine years ago) link
Everyone else already answered, but yeah, what I meant by Prinze hitting the jackpot is that he is clearly a huge nerd (he had several anecdotes during his panel about growing up a Star Wars fan, including one about the scar on his chin, which he got when he and his brother snapped a plastic flagpole in half to make lightsabers). And now he's on the inside of it and couldn't be happier. He came out from backstage taking video of the crowd on his phone, and was just beaming through the entire panel.
(Also fun: Tiya Sircar, who voices Sabine on "Rebels," used the words "serendipitously" and "trepidation" when answering questions. I can guess who always finishes the crossword while waiting around at the production office.)

Any film can do FF8: in space. Star Wars has the untouchable element and it should use it. Not just be a CGI pornsplosion fest, as much as it pioneered imagery. I always kept it in balance.

Super8 was so terrible and unimaginative I have no trust in JJBRAMS as competent.

Two teasers and a convention in, we've yet to lay eyes on Adam Driver, Lupita Nyongo, Max Von Sydow or Andy Serkis. It's been all Ridley/Isaac/Boyega, so they must be the Leia/Han/Luke of the new deal.
