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

[bonestockbrz]

Anyone have that meme of Han solo with the avengers and Jurrasic World? The one saying "broke the Internet" ?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

JW is still a freak case to me.

Someone at Universal called a Voodoo witch doctor to sacrifice a small goat or some chickens to make that "miracle" happen

I don't think it's going to beat Titanic or Avatar. The Phantom Menace couldn't do it, and that film was the first new SW movie in 16 years. Then again, Jurassic World found a huge audience...for some reason, so I guess anything is possible.

Original cast and Millenium Falcon-factor might do it for this one.

My opinion hasn't changed, especially after finally watching JW, the only JP movie that was worth the hype was the original

Awesome new trailer.

Spoiler

Is Rey crying over Chewie in the last shot? If you look on the right side, the body seems really "hairy". Guess Chewbacca will die here?

That international trailer just kinda solidifies this as most likely going to be a rockin movie for me. But who can say for sure?

LOVE those Ties flying in the sunset.

None of this Force Awakens stuff is doing anything for me. I don't get it.

The little beepy boopy rolling baby droid, foreign feeling characters and locations that looked like they were ripped from those ludicrous Star Wars fan films I'd see playing on VHS at conventions during the 90s/early 2000s, Michonne from Walkind Dead doing a voice over about . . . hope? But hey, people are eating this stuff up. Good for Disney and the box office.

LOL whatever! We did hear you the first few times though.

I put the new trailer in front of every movie we have playing today. Kids and adults are loving it. I am trying to temper my expectations....but it's really difficult when the movie looks this good! I love Luke disappearing and the Force fading into a legend that some say does not exist. I love that Han is carrying the torch saying it's real. I am truly trying to not get too excited, but I am loving everything so far I have seen. Now if only I could hibernate for 5 weeks.

In one more month the midichlorians will sleep forever and the force will awaken.

Hopefully.

The name alone is a big F U to the prequel trilogy!

I think it looks spectacular and light years ahead in quality compared to the PT and it might even equal the OT in quality.

SW with energy.

I get a huge Frodo/Galadriel vibe from Rey/MysticalMysteryVoice.

This is more LOTR than Hobbit.

I got the same vibe right away.

Also it's nice that as much as we think we know we probably don't know much of ****. I still don't understand Finn's role totally. And Snoke, Hux, Luke?

**** are we there yet?

Its like you both are right.

That's pretty amazing that from Jedi to Phantom Menace it was 16 years and here we are again 16 years from Phantom Menace to The Force Awakens.

What's helping this movie is the perception that Disney is handling this movie the "correct way".

I still think that there is some Bruce Jenner type stuff going on in this movie.

I bet Kylo Ren will be revealed to be Kyla Rey.

 

[Darthrazz]

yippee ki yay!!!

Thank you, I thought that's what he said...

On the contrary, I think it's a direct reference to the PT concept of balance of The Force. But time will tell.

The PT is still a major part of the saga whether some like it or not.

Phantom Menace did as well as it did at the box office despite it being a major letdown for most people, imagine how well this one will do if it is actually as good as it looks, combine that with the returning OT cast and I can start to believe in miracles.

Star wars is review proof and will do good box office no matter what, but if we get a movie that is near in quality to the original Star Wars or Empire, then the sky may literally be the limit. We need some new blood in the top spot.

The movie isn't even out yet and I'm already sick and tired of Star Wars... This manufactured hype feels worse than all bad things of OT and PT combined. They still consider PT canon yet the whole marketing campaign's based on vanilla OT nostalgia and hatred towards PT... It's so shameless and stupid.

I love it all. Every single Duracell battery with Kylo Ren on, every paddling pool with BB8 in the middle..
LOVE IT.
Don't be such a grumpy. We all know you wear Captain Phasma underpants.



(the only thing I do hate is the fake PR lead "prequel bashing" it's stupid, I would love if someone took that "practical sets, real locations..." monologue and put it over this new International trailer, you know the one that looks 70% CGI)

Awesome post.

It also doesn't help that you continually insist on entering this thread. I think.... perhaps.... possibly....... you will become more sick and tired of Star Wars. Maybe.
