Star Wars: Episode VII: The Nerd Rage Awakens

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I posted the schedule.. will anyone tune in?

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

This guy would scare the crap out of Darth Maul!

 

[Crewman Commander]

^ OK, is that official art, or just fan concepts?

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Well, I can't say. But I do find it interesting that today marks the day the floodgates for Episode 7 are going to open up at SWCA

I can't wait to see the newest trailer. I'm assuming it'll be streamed live from the event followed by a dozen or more ripped copies on YouTube.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

The studio will probably put it out online an hour BEFORE the event to prevent links, just like they did with the teaser .. they dropped it online an hour before it played in theaters

 

[GhoulEddie74]

I hope so. That'd be the smartest thing to do and that way everybody can get the chance to see it at about the same time.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Agreed. If I learn anything I'm posting it here. I write a Star Wars column now called Squeaky Mouse Droid!

Good Morning America was running a Episode VII teaser this week including an interview with Abrams. Does any one know if that has aired yet,and if so, got a link to see it?

 

[GhoulEddie74]

I didn't see it, but a friend did and they said it was just clips from the new Episode I-VI Digital Release bonus features and not a glimpse of footage from the new trailer.

Thanks, there goes any chance of me getting to sleep at a decent hour.

The crowd got episode 7 lightsabers, damn.

 

[DarthTom]

Looks like JJ is wearing an Apple watch.

Desert planet is not tatooine.
There are a lot of behind the scene pictures here on the live stream. They are definitely blowing the lid off this thing today.

Edit: BB8 looks so cool!

I am. I only started watching just after the TFA panel started, though.

Desert planet is not tatooine.

Yeah, the name of the planet is "Jacoo" (Or however it's spelled). ETA: IGN is spelling it "Jakku", though I don't know if that's official.

Edit: BB8 looks so cool!

Yes! That was so awesome.

EDIT: John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, and Oscar Issac are now on stage.

Boyega does a decent Ford impression.

ETA2: Pics from the panel, including some of the newly revealing images from the movie, from Twitter.

ETA3: New Stormtroopers just walked on stage.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Jacoo is a joke.. hence the name

 

[Chris3123]

Uh, Anthony Daniels just called his character C-P30. Oops!

ETA: Here comes the new teaser!

ETA2: THAT WAS AWESOME. Luke voiceover, more Falcon, HAN AND CHEWIE
