Star Wars: Episode VII: The Nerd Rage Awakens

Interesting trailer, reminded me more of the "tone poem" ads from The Phantom Menace than your usual blockbuster type bombast.

How the hell did they manage to get BB-8 into an astromech slot? :)
 
Great looking trailer. I wonder if Kylo Ren is Luke Skywalker?
We already know that Kylo is being played by Girls' Adam Driver, and they even had a picture of him without the mask on in one of the Annie Leibovitz photos. I guess there is a slight chance all of that could be a massive fakeout, but I doubt it very much.

I was hoping for a more detailed look at the story, but it still showed us a lot more than the other trailers.
We already knew about Kylo's obsession with Vader, but seeing him talk to the mask was a cool moment.
Loved seeing Han and Leia hug.
Looks like the rumors about there being no Jedi or Force users since the OT are true.
I loved the exchange about the stories all being true.
Is Daisy Ridley using her real accent? The first lines from her sounded like an American accent, but the last couple sounded British.
I wasn't expecting to see a real shot of Luke, but I was hoping we'd get at least some kind of hint about his role.
Even though it didn't give me exactly what I want, I still loved the trailer and I am even more excited for the movie. It looks great! I'm not about to start calling it the best Star Wars movie without having seen it, but based on everything I've seen so far the possibility is there.
 
And is that a super battle droid at 1:38?

If so - BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Disney had completely divorced SW from the shitty PT!!!


Prequel cooties!!!!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Clearly these folk have never heard Joe Morton's (Miles Dyson, Terminator 2) take on sci fi movies. "Never be the black man in a sci fi movie. They tend to die."

Yeah.... white supremacists are fucking idiots.
 
I absolutely love that it's Han saying the Dark Side and Jedi are real, considering he was such a big nonbeliever of the Force in A New Hope.
 
Anyone actually able to get tickets, or just error messages from fandango all night long?

Apparently opening night tickets are showing up on ebay already.
 
That boycott is just fucking stupid.
I won't deny, I just watched the trailer for a second time and it probably won't be the last.
I wonder who is talking to Rey in the beginning of the trailer? The first time I thought it was also Rey, but the second time I realized it she was talking to someone. I'm also curious how Finn goes from possibly crashing a Tie Fighter above Jakuu to running around on the planet wearing a Resistance uniform.
It looked like Kylo Ren was torturing Poe.
It looks like Kylo spends at least some of his fight with Finn without his helmet. You can see his hair from behind. I guess it could be sticking out from under the helmet, but it looks like he doesn't have it on.
 
Kylo Ren is not Luke Skywalker.

I think that's pretty safe to say.

Apparently not for some of the posters here (or elsewhere).
And Palpatine was supposed to be a clone of Sidious.

:techman:

As much as I don't like a lot of the PT, technology is still going be around.

:confused::confused::confused:
 
I have four tickets for the 12:01 am session on Thursday 17/12.

I'm saying it's actually on the night of Wednesday 16/12, so, that means it's exactly eight weeks from tomorrow!!!!!

I tried the biggest cinema in Perth (Western Australia) but that crashed at 7:30am and was fucked until after 8:00am, when tix were officially to be released.

I tried another outlet in the same chain and got perfect back row seats for the 12:01 session on the Thursday morning! Traditionally, movies start in Australia on Thursdays and finish on Wednesdays.

So........I'll tell you all what it was like around 3:00pm in the US on the afternoon of Wednesday 16/12!!!!!!!!!

:p :) :D :D :) :D :p :p
 
I need new underwear after that new trailer.

Well. I need underwear period. But that's another thread discussion.

I haven't been this excited for a new movie in more than 16 years.
