Man when they show up in the full trailer next year shit will be bananas.

A wise choice. I would have enjoyed it less if they trotted out one of the old characters immediately.Also, everyone is bugging out on this teaser right now...

A True Star Wars Fan: Someone who really likes Star Wars. That's it. There is no further qualifier. No need to read the EU stuff, no need to have seen all the movies. A little kid who's only seen AotC and doesn't really understand it can firmy call themselves a Stars Fan.
I actually love that. Another indication this movie won't be a nostalgic overload. They actually may keep the focus on new things and not just "hey, remember that?"Also, everyone is bugging out on this teaser right now...

LucasArts and JJ Abrams just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Jedi culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in conventional culture where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in the Jedi world, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is Star Wars fans, after hearing about the light sabre hilt in the new trailer, are not going to want to purchase movie tickets for The Force Awakens, nor will they purchase any tickets for future Star Wars movies. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but LucasArts and JJ Abrams have alienated an entire market with this move.
LucasArts and JJ Abrams, publicly apologize and cancel The Force Awakens or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Looking at some of the concept art again I can't wait to see it realised on screen

If that is real, then you are a right cunt for spoiling.
Let's say that Star Wars has been watched by a billion people on this Earth.
You're telling me that these books sell over 10 million copies?
Wow, why are people bothered by the black guy in the trailer?
I swear the internet will 'logic' the fun out of anything. The lightsaber looked cool. Who cares how practical it is?
lol... all you have to do is show a few rebel ships and the nostalgia factor will have people saying "GREATEST EVER" "I CAME" etc.

Indeed, they copied what the Confederates did during the Civil War when they conscripted black slaves to fight.

If we want to get nitpicky the original template for stormtroopers was a dude who's Polynesian looking. Someone hand that girl a cross-hilt saber please.

Why people keeps getting confused about this?
The Imperial stormtroopers were the evolution of the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. By the end of the Clone Wars in 19 BBY, the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the first Galactic Empire. As a result, the Grand Army was reformed into the Stormtrooper Corps and the clones were renamed "stormtroopers." Under the Empire, stormtroopers operated alongside Imperial Army and Navy units, and some were stationed on Naval ships where they served as marines. Although the Corps was overseen by Stormtrooper Command, a military agency that was independent from Imperial High Command, all stormtroopers ultimately answered to Emperor Palpatine with unconditional loyalty and subservience.

So dude with the lightsaber was probably Adam Driver, right? Kinda had the same lanky movements as him
Just making sure bro. No ill will meant.
Combined, so 5 million a book.
I can agree with this, as there is a ton of EU stuff and only a small portion of it is actually any good. The biggest thing to ever come from EU which it seems Lucas never understood was that the Empire was massive and that killing off the Emperor and Vader wasn't going to instantly mean the rebels won. Glad to see the new movies at least going in that direction.

dude, spoilers for fuck sake
Damn I'm so disappointment that I saw that picDude, take that shit down.
Hopefully! This teaser had a great balance of the familiar and the new. Granted, it's only 60 seconds of footage, but the fact they didn't just trot out Luke, Han, and Leia is extremely promising for me.So basically, the exact opposite of the piss-awful prequels?
To be fair there's only a little bit of talk about the new actors as well. The hilt stole the show.Also, everyone is bugging out on this teaser right now...

-That Millennium and X-Wing shot is the most interesting Star Wars has been visually in years.
-No opinion on the lightsaber until I see it in the movie. I do like the the 'surging' aspect of it.
-I really like the cinematography as a whole. Feels like a good director is actually filming the movie.
The shot of those X-wings flying over the lake is the most insane thing ever. Someone hold me...
Also, did anyone else laugh when Boyega's head popped up? Was that supposed to be funny?
Looking at some of the concept art again I can't wait to see it realised on screen
I asked the same question..and everyone here was stumped.
I think that's pretty obvious.
I'm really happy that John Boyega is in it, that slipped my mind completely. Didn't see anything of Domhnall Gleeson, though

It's real sir. He needed to keep that shit in the spoiler thread.If that is real, then you are a right cunt for spoiling.
Well we already know the bad guy looks like from the front. There was leaked art workThere are plenty of things that 'looked cool' in the prequel trilogy, it didn't help make them good movies. You and I have different definitions of what's cool. Restrained functional looking design would be cool, adhering to well established aesthetic convention would be cool. That thing looks like its been designed by a committee of children who assess how cool something is proportionally to the amount of blades and weapony bits something has. Its the kind of thing Square Enix would shit out in a final fantasy game.
IF its got some functional reasoning and the bad guy uses it in some meaningful way, then its fine, otherwise its just been dreampt up as something ordained to be padding shop shelves in toy stores next Christmas. Something they use to give the bad guy some unique USP because they can't dream up a visual character as immediate or iconic as Maul or Vader.
We'll see.
