Star Wars: Episode VII: The Nerd Rage Awakens

[JD]

Is it me or does that look fake?

The whole thing looks fine except for those two Stormtroopers in the foreground. Their helmet are massive, and they appear to be wearing parachute pants. Are we sure this isn't a screencap from the "Spaceballs" sequel?

Probably snowtroopers.

IGN has an analysis of the pic on their TFA wiki's Starkiller Base page, and they do appear to be snowtroopers.

Here's the Korean TV spot the pic comes from, the shot of Starkiller base is the only new footage.

Unless one of the figures is "Luke in Han's funeral gear" I wonder how many spoilers will truly be contained within...

Followed by the soundtrack's last song titled

"Leia's funeral"

Shades of TPM. I've always wondered if somebody got dinged for that.

 

[Campe]

^ That always miffed me. I tried to avoid spoilers for TPM and then I pick up the soundtrack album at the store -- and was very annoyed. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Now, I don't care about spoilers. Meh. It's the journey that's important. Not the destination.

 

[Corran Horn]

"Wedge with removable head"
"Leia in Dark Side gear"
"Rey (Solo)"

I guess it's supposed to be digital displays inside the helmets? Because those first helmets have tiny slits.

Rumor has it a red light will swoosh back and forth on the visor

The Flame trooper will only say "By your Command"

I was thinking robocop, but that's even better.

You and me both - VERY pissed off when standing in Morley Galleria and I read that!

Not so much for me. I was an administrator on a BIG SW fan site during AOTC's production, had some VERY exclusive inside information and access to the film's production and was VERY spoiled for that film and I believe it harmed the film's eventual viewing for me.

Bu then, it WAS AOTC so........

This time, staying relatively spoiler free and SO looking forward to the film!!!
