Star Wars 7 shit talk

God, I had no idea so much discussion centered around whether Palpatine threw the fight with Mace Windu.

So in the Sunday NY Times there was a bunch of stuff about this movie/franchise/oh the significance of it all for Gen X and millennials, and apparently there's a villains' ship in TFA called THE FINALIZER. Sounds like a badass kitchen cleaner.

also, Kylo Ren belongs to the Knights of Ren

wow, I like how crazy and out of control the lightsabers look, like they are crackling with flame and electricity

Haha, was just coming to post that. That shot of the three TIE fighters backlit by the sun is, by itself, better than the entire prequel trilogy.

this could probably be a great film if they limited it to lightsabers and space ships flying around, and cut out any characters or dialogue

i am getting a little psyched

Yeah each preview makes it look a little cooler....

TIE fighters at sunset got me interested too. Good grief...

We're suckers.

I wish to hell I could stop clicking on these things.

why, they're cool! everybody relax, this is gonna be cool! and suck a little too probably. whatever!!

because I'd like to be surprised but I have no self-control.

For the impatient among us we could probably convince that terminally ill dude who got a screening to spoil the movie for us.

If BB-8 isn't Force-levitated at some point I riot.

That tie fighter shot is straight out of another Lucas-related project with Harrison Ford:

Gotta get him into an Xwing _some_how

Still, twenny bucks says he gets levitated during Daisy Ridley's Jedi training in EP VIII.

It's like poetry, y'know; it rhymes.

bb-8 looks so slow running from the explosions PICK THE LITTLE DOOD UP

That is a great shot. TIE fighters seldom look actually threatening.

boy you guys are really easily excited by obvious Apocalypse Now refs eh

well it would be cool if in these movies luke skywalker was crazy, bald, weighed 350 pounds, and quoted TS Eliot

a pile of ... little youngling arms

the womp rats... the womp rats...

I love the smell of Death Stars in the morning.

never get out of the x-wing!

boy you guys are really easily excited by obvious Apocalypse Now refs eh

boy you are really easily excited by trolling star wars fans eh

lol like why are you guys geeking out in a star wars thread ffs

lol tyler

I've been trying to figure out what bothers me about Daisy Ridley with her hair up and it's that she looks like an 11 year old boy

Target audience, tbf.

Sorry, next time I will write, "That shot of the TIE fighters backlit by the sun, which is clearly lifted from Apocalypse Now, a fact which is definitely very relevant to the content of this sentence, is better than the entire prequel trilogy." Value added at no extra cost to you.

I think the hair-up thing both connects with Leia(hair buns) and also sorta/maybe functional for the desert environment.

Both her and Luke are first seen in white wrappings with goggles stomping round in the sand(cut footage in Luke's case, along with the Gilligan hat).

I enjoy this RLM bit here as they just half-cluelessly speculate based on trailer footage, and bring in enough knowledge of how the original trilogy worked, how JJ Abrams tends to do things, and what early 21st-C Hollywood producers tend to work. They treat the proceedings with the seriousness it deserves, naturally:

Very cool.

From the looks of it I bet Luke dies in this one. That's why Leia is so sad.

she's not sad, she just has Space IBS

your jokes are bad

You're ugly

nothing a few weeks in a bacta tank can't fix

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Japanese trailer wAS awesome! Childhood redeemed! Everything redeemed!

Stormtroopers flamethrowing people was a little O_o but I guess that's what happened to Owen and Beru...

xp hope this movie is all flashbacks of anakin in mos eisley cantina
