Nope.
I knew that once I posted my question that ANH would pop up lol.
I ment that characters hardly ever show signs of injury in the Star Wars universe.
Episode 7 so far showed us a Stormtrooper helm with blood on it, Poe bleeding ...

I'm surprised this never got altered in the SEs since it was established that lightsabers cauterise wounds.Nope.
Also lol PG rating. It's a U (equivalent of G) here, even.

I don't think there's any outright gushing blood, but Luke gets pretty roughed up in ESB.
Haha, I just assumed it had. I stopped paying attention to the SE changes..

huh, I was on Team Rey/Finn before, but that's actually much better
Apparently, this is a second tv spot but there's no new clips in it.
Kudos to Lucasfilm if they venture down this road.
I think we will get new footage tonight, unless its just behind the scenes stuff

Don't feel too bad.
This also happens a lot when folks complain about the "CG" in the prequels.
Go back and check the teaser thread which turned into "Yeah that CG BB8 looks out of place, its totally CG, I thought they were going practical"
"It looks practical to me"
"Nah, thats clearly CGI, you couldnt do that practically"
Love it
"It looks practical to me"
"Nah, thats clearly CGI, you couldnt do that practically"
Love it
Yeah I remember this. I think someone had a chart about how BB8 was physically impossible, despite the fact that making something that rolled was one of mankind's first major inventions.

Really now? It looked pretty CG to me.

Wait, seriously? Looks CG to me, but if so, that's impressive.
Dunno if this was posted already but I laughed

The depth is staggering. One could say it's like poetry, they rhyme. Hopefully it will work.
Rebel Force Radio has a guy they get on called Paul Bateman who has worked with lucasfilm often, lives near Pinewood and is a frequent there, he has seen it.
I don't remember where I read it, but it's being controlled by a very short person in a costume inside a tin can, possibly walking on tall sticks.

I think it's the same technique as this from episode 1.
Sorry if this offends all the effects nerds who thought Ep1 was 100% CG jarjars.

That's what makes me more worried about Trevorrow taking over for Episode VIII, he doesn't seem to like practical effects...

how does EW continue to have garbage cover pics and set pics
Nope.
My headcanon says whatever race this guy was has genetics that result in its body not cauterizing until extreme temperatures are reached, thus why it could bleed from a lightsaber. Seriously though, out of all the things Lucas "fixed" in the special editions I'm super surprised this wasn't one of them.
They see the cannon, go land on it and while on it say "this isn't a space station, it is a planet." They will confuse it cause Han Solo is in it and flying the Falcon towards it since he has to be a major part.

-Abrams originally wanted to do a puppet, but with all the things they required Maz to do, they realized CG was the way to go. ILM worked very hard on making her blend in with all the other real-life elements and creatures.
-Maz has lived for over 1000 years(hold dat Yoda), had this Space Pirate Palace for a hundred
-Lupita was there on set for her performance, and was coached by Andy Serkis on performance capture.

Oh god that slip is going to be funny or bittersweet. Watch.
I think it's clever that the only parts of this Star Wars movie we've seen are the familiar elements.
From a marketing perspective, they've been able to show us the film, without really showing us the film, and yet we are still hyped by it.
We've seen a total of about 6 or so minutes of a 2 hour and 15 minute movie. To think that the remaining two hours and 9 minutes will be all rehashes of the OT trilogy is kind of silly. They aren't going to copy the OT wholesale. They are going to take the heroes journey, which is standard for Star Wars, and do their own thing with it, while still giving us the winks, nods, and homages to the classic trilogy we all love.
It's just really smart of them to tease us this way. We've gotten hints of new material, but most of the marketing has been revolving around reminding us of the "good ol' days" of the original trilogy. Han, Leia, Chewie, musical score. The biggest problem the PT had is that it veered too far away from the heroes journey and the OT in terms of tone and atmosphere. Even so, there are parts of the PT, that, if edited into similar style trailers, will evoke the OT. Framed shots, lines of dialogue, similar scenarios. But we know how close that was to the OT.
I think TFA is going to be the same.

I had wanted to go on media blackout, but all of these little morsels are are irresistible.

Trevorrow wanted more in Jurassic World. He had to fight tooth and nail to even get the apatosaurus.
These things are sometimes not dictated by the director but by the producers/studio. It isn't a one-way street.
Ooh yeah. This is a good one.
Maybe Leia ends up with Organa-Solo/Solo-Organa?
Is Maz Kanata supposed to be the same species as this guy from Rebels?
Unless these species gets smaller when older, I think that are not the same

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!

Before production he was saying that they would use as much practical as possible, and that ended up being one animatronic because it was all that they'd give him
The budget was pretty conservative for a movie of that size because they didn't expect those kinds of receipts. But Trevorrow loves practical effects and defends them frequently. With Star Wars, I imagine he'll be allowed a lot more elbow room in that regard.

I bet we know who that is:
It's Threepio. That's why he has a red arm. Leia cut that gold shit off with a light saber.

I think it could definitely be Threepio. That would fit in with his typical OT comic relief bits.
