Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

The piano sound in the beginning of the new trailer reminded me of TDKR third trailer.

Han Solo, basically, preaching about the force got me. Someone so against "hokey religions" in ANH, now telling younger generations about the Jedi is really moving to me.

That's good! I didn't think about that, and it makes sense, unlike Indiana Jones not believing certain things in part 3 and 4, even though he had seen some supernatural things already.

I'm gonna buy scalper's seats right in front of you and hold up my lightsaber during the entire movie.


(this is why I fear going to opening night -- to have some ******* sitting behind me over-reacting to everything, and crying when Han Solo shows up, or yelling "Use the Force" at the screen every five minutes)

Yup. This, this and this. It makes me mad at comic con you got people screaming during the TRAILERS.... the TRAILERS about this crap... I would hate sitting down with them to watch the actual movie. I can already see a round of applause and cheers when any of the OT characters show up... or as you said... shouting **** during the movie. Really hope I can get a nice, polite crowd.

Took me 2 hours, but I got my IMAX tickets. How could they not be prepared for this? Almost gave up after endless errors.

It's too early for them to sell out..I'm sure they will make sure there are enough screenings world wide. C'mon this is coming out during Xmas time

It's different because Indy was a professional skeptic. He was a historian and archaeologist foremost, so that no matter how many supernatural events or articles he witnessed, he was aware that the next one could be a hoax. Being taken in would be professionally damaging to his regular job!

Han Solo just never had any first hand dealings with the Force until he came into contact with Luke and Obi-Wan. After that he couldn't deny it's existence and power.

A theme of Star Wars is characters completing journeys and changing.

It's great to see the old man back! Feels like Star Wars has returned from its own strange journey.

Why? He saw it was real why would he still be against it? Having still be against it would be dumb.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I know what Hunnipot's wearing for Halloween.

 

[BuGz]

Woah! What a trailer!
This movie looks incredible! Roll on December!

I never thought that he would, still, not believe in the force. I just thought the line was cool, considering his change of opinion was never really addressed in the original trilogy. Even though, he witnessed a few uses of the force, he still seems skeptical in ROTJ. Ex."A Jedi Knight? I'm out of it for a while and everybody gets delusions of grandeur!" Now, thirty years later, the Jedi are, still, all but a myth(it seems), but here we have Han speaking passionately about how the legends are true.

In short, I just find it poetic that the biggest non-believer in the series is now the one spreading the word of the force. Also, I get way too emotional over Star Wars. I'll be the ******* sitting behind Wor-Gar, over-reacting to everything, and crying when Han Solo shows up.

I think that was his usual sardonic wit!

Now, thirty years later, the Jedi are, still, all but a myth(it seems), but here we have Han speaking passionately about how the legends are true.

This seems the key to the film, and its title. The Jedi have either all died out or disappeared, and all that's left for many are the stories of the past.

 

[Prime Clone]

Not everyone though, most games and some comics are still canon no? And almost all books.

The new comics, books and games are on the same level as the movies, the pre-2015 EU has been "swept away".

"You look absolutely beautiful. You truly belong here with us among the clouds."


And the not so beautiful...

Spoiler

Was re-watching the teaser trailers and the Comic Con reel. I must have missed the memo stating the Honey Monster was going to be in TFA:

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I guess AMC's site died.

 

[John Nada]

Trailer was good without giving too much away. IF you didn't like it you don't enjoy life, and are a cynical bastard and deserve to die alone.

 

[noisetrigger]

I find it interesting that while Finn used an American accent, Rey kept her british accent.

 

[Oxnard Montalvo]

At least this trailer can finally put the Luke is Kylo nonsense to bed. Nobody has mentioned yet that the trailer's final shot of Kylo vs Finn has Ren unmasked..... and thats definately the back of Driver's head.
