The original trilogy never claimed that stormtroopers were all clones.
Leia called Luke a bit short for being a Stormtrooper.
why should the sequels build on some of the shitty ideas of the prequels for continuity's sake.
Also, they could have gone to conscripts instead of clone troopers because after having turned it from a galactic republic to a totalitarian Empire, conscripting young male adults must've been cheaper.

The shots of the X-Wings and the Millenium Falcon looked damn right. I welcome the return of the original trilogy's aesthetic. I cannot wait to see how many awesome fanservice shots are in this movie.
What's up with the broadsword lightsaber though? I mean what kind of suicidal idiot would use miniature lightsaber blades as a guard for a regular sized blade? It's visually interesting for like two seconds, and then you question how it's remotely practical in combat. I hope the design makes sense later. Maybe the guard thing can change its configuration or something. It could fire lasers, lol.

People complaining about how the new lightsaber is 'over the top' need to really think about how bad it could have been. This seems pretty mild to me.
The thirst is real.
Comb out the desert!
I'll just put this in here as well
Dem Gaf colors.
So what happened with the Storm Troopers?
They ran out of Australasian bounty hunter clone DNA so just hired some black dudes?
Nice

it would make sense if the crosshilt was pure laser, but with hilt, it makes no sense.
unlike mauls lightsaber, this is purely cosmetical and honestly, putting it in the teaser, obviously trying to recreat the huge WHOA the double lightsaber created, is a bit pathetic.

I feel so late to the party but dem X-wings over water man. I can't believe it took this long for the starfighters to be used in atmosphere.

The planet where the X-Wings are flying over could be Naboo. It would make sense for Luke and co to have some connections there considering the Skywalker ties to naboo royal family.

FYI, crossblade/crossguard lightsabers have been around for 10 years now

That's amazing lol. Really shows how people are quick to call something tacky or dumb the moment they see something slightly different.

Nah. I like Abrams just fine, still hyped as fuck for this, it was a pretty "meh" teaser for me. Like I said above, it pretty much had three money shots: new lightsaber which some aren't digging, seeing the Millennium Falcon again, and hearing John Williams music again. Not much to really get my hype train going.
It's not that it's possible he realized he's not alone, it's that obviously he realized he's not alone.

Why is it on a soccer ball?

nice. 'They see me rollin', they hatin' " wouldve been a bit more apt.
theory:
broadsword saber looks and sounds different from classic ones because it's kind of hobbled together by someone less skilled than a jedi
and the beams coming out the sides of the hilt are sort of like "exhaust" ports on the sides of the saber to keep the handle from blowing up, since it's not built like a real proper light saber

X-Wings do look different with the split engines and changed the front nose a little. The Falcon also seems to have a little blue on it with a new satellite dish.
EDIT: nvm Falcon still has the strips of red.

Recruited/drafted, etc. Either the clones died out or the cloning facilities were never made again. Someone with better Star Wars knowledge will clear that up for you. I've only been keeping up with it on and off over the years.
I think it's called a boner.

Well I was trying to be nice.
A lot of the complaining in this thread is just ridiculous to me and getting me angry at GAF. "IS HE A FUCKING LUMBERJACK?!?!". And it wasn't just one post. So many complaints that if you think about them for more than one second wouldn't be complaints.

In the EU (for what it's worth now), the Falcon eventually got a new engine and paint job.

Yup. It actually makes a lot of sense. There is a reason some swords have them.
