No, you really don't. Terrible movie, with terrible acting.

So very, very wrong.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

I remember seeing a leaked plot outline. If I remember clearly

POSSIBLE BIG SPOILERS

Spoiler

Doesn't Luke turn evil near the end of the film?

 

[dark_inferno]

Is it Cumberbatch?

seems awfully similar to Benedict Cumberbatch's

If its Cumberbatch then im not gonna watch that. He is damn overused right now and wasnt that good as Star Trek Into Darkness Spoiler

Spoiler

Khan

.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

The 3 leads look great.
I like Abrams decision to go with 3 unknown actors.

 

[AgentOtaku]

It is so bizarre to see Star Wars footage that isn't imprisoned by Lucas's bland lighting and camerawork.

FUUUCKING YES!!!!

*Bro-fist!*

 

[Jburton]

Looks fucking awesome, day one baby .... day one!

 

[Ol No Bones]

Perfect trailer. I love the look. Hey look great cg a year before release. Jurassic World looks stupid by comparison.

 

[Cheebo]

Guys it is 100% NOT Cumberbatch.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

Alright you win I liked it

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I didn't know it was possible, but Abrams did it. He made a Lightsaber look lame.

 

[Ultimen]

Looks pretty cookie cutter to me. I wanna see a longer trailer with some of the older cast.

 

[ultrazilla]

Doesn't Luke turn evil near the end of the film?

If you read Dark Horse Comic's "Dark Empire"....yes. LOL.

I remember that rumor, but if I recall correct, there was a lot of stuff concerning the new characters that doesn't line up with this teaser. I'm calling bullshit on that one.

 

[Waldini]

The saber on that Sith looks... unstable?

Like its not a regular saber crystal.

 

[Mxrz]

That lightsaber looked very dumb.

Otherwise, looked very good outside the shaky cam.

 

[Abounder]

The sound is so good. I have missed the TIE's roar

 

[Measley]

Shit, that teaser looks better than the prequels already.

I'm happy.

 

[Dreamwriter]

Like with Star Trek?

The first Star Trek reboot was pretty great, though it did feel a bit "Star Warsy".

 

[munchie64]

I think I've watched it 100 times already.

 

[Poodlestrike]

No, you really don't. Terrible movie, with terrible acting.

You'll have to forgive me if I trust the 90% it's got on RT over you, lol.

 

[Ol No Bones]

The 3 leads look great.
I like Abrams decision to go with 3 unknown actors.

Yes its a great starting point. I'm so much more hyped than I thought I would be.

 

[BFIB]

The medieval lightsaber! I think that might be because of the spoilers that were going around for a while. It's not a terrible idea. It might make it hard to be removed from the person's grip? Possibly?

I think its more of a dark side user that isn't technically a "sith". So it looks like the crystal in his blade isn't near as strong as those in normal light sabers.

 

[acrid]

That lightsaber is fucking terrible. Good god. Looks pretty nice otherwise.

You confused "terrible" with "awesome".

 

[strafer]

But in all seriousness, JJ was absolutely the right choice.

Dude knows how to direct.

 

[Alavard]

For the whole lightsaber is dangerous for the wielder people, these are jedi. They can deflect beams of light using their reflexes. They are in complete control, no jedi has ever cut themselves. The crosshilt will protect the hands, it is no danger to the sith.

Of course we're not going to see a Jedi or a Sith cut themselves with their own weapon.

The point is that certain light-saber configurations restrict the positions you can have the weapon in, because you'd otherwise be slicing yourself. They limit your tactical options.

 

[Screaming Meat]

No, you really don't. Terrible movie, with terrible acting.

 

[postcyberpunk]

After showing the trailer to my wife, she asks, "Where is Darth Vader?" And she likes Star Wars more than I do... :facepalm.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I wonder why there's that very quiet saber ignition sound at the end.

 

[ELAMOR]

Terrible trailer.

 

[infinityBCRT]

Yup, that was great and I'm psyched! Shots of the x-wings and falcon were freaking awesome. Broad sword lightsaber was a little weird, by whatever, I'm hyped and think it'll be great!



I already am! Is it too late for Disney to change their mind??

I think the schedule to release for 7 is too compressed for him to do 8. Rian Johnson is going to start shooting next year while Abrams will still be finishing up post production on 7.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

So do we have any idea of the political structure in this film? Were those X-Wings part of the New Republic (or whatever they may call it)? Were those TIEs and stormies part of the Galactic Empire or Imperial Remnant, or...?

 

[Lebron]

Like with Star Trek?

You mean the series he made the public care about again?

 

[Xun]

seems awfully similar to Benedict Cumberbatch's

That's what I thought.

Also am I crazy for thinking Max von Sydow could be Obi-Wan?

 

[borghe]

Rian Johnson is directing Part 2, and is a fantastic choice.

wait, what!?!?!? are you serious.

Rian Johnson is a god. Too good to be true.

 

[Hermii]

I liked a lot of things about this teaser. But yea, the lightsaber is stupid.

 

[guek]

I didn't know it was possible, but Abrams did it. He made a Lightsaber look lame.

This is his trademark. He imitates good ideas in warped, terrible fashion. A complete and total hack.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Well that was good, he's nailed the look and feel of it.

Lightsaber looks a bit silly and try-hard, but everything else was great. Especially the X-Wings over the water.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I remember seeing a leaked plot outline. If I remember clearly

POSSIBLE BIG SPOILERS

Spoiler

Doesn't Luke turn evil near the end of the film?

Not...really. No.

I mean, there's SOMETHING. But it's not quite that.

 

[dankir]

So is it Luke with the Red Lightsaber at the end? I really like the pose he's in when it fires up.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Like with Star Trek?

Considering Star Trek was amazing yeah.

 

[Travo]

I think its more of a dark side user that isn't technically a "sith". So it looks like the crystal in his blade isn't near as strong as those in normal light sabers.

Maybe he's a secret apprentice of Vader or the Emperor.

 

[SargerusBR]

For anyone wondering, this is how the Ball droid supposedly works

 

[jackissocool]

I like the crossguard. It actually makes sense - swords had those for a reason, and a lightsaber's crossguard would need to be tiny lightsabers to work. Plus it looks badass.

Visually, all the new designs are great and very Star Wars. You can see some Abrams in the lighting and cinematography but he maintained the Star Wars look very well. And Adam looks menacing and crazy as a Sith.

Also lol at the Abrams hate.

 

[adj_noun]

I'm so happy to see Stormtroopers and TIE Fighters.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Like with Star Trek?

Yes, exactly. So good to find others that can appreciate the new Trek movies for what they are, rather than oh wait you were being sarcastic, never mind.

I liked them, anyway.

 

[RubxQub]

Its...how can I put this. I would have exactly the same reaction if the last two decades weren't stuffed with various Star Wars media and merchandise trying to make me feel like a kid again.

You've just got to let go and believe in it.

What's the fun of being guarded about it? Worst case you go see it and it's awful for some reason and THEN you're disappointed.

Being a pessimist or a realist in this scenario just makes you less likely to enjoy the product. You've got over a year to talk yourself into not liking what you see and then the movie becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I just get the feeling that this movie is going to be insanely polarizing before it's even released which is a shame.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Could the guy with the StormTrooper outfit be under cover perhaps ? Behind enemy lines as it were.

That Falcon shot, fuck me, can't stop grinning

 

[Forkball]

You don't think they'd look different after 40 years?

Did the Empire put out a job ad for a new armor designer? Who would even apply for such a job? What references could they have possibly put down?

 

[Tugatrix]

The saber on that Sith looks... unstable?

Like its not a regular saber crystal.

what if it reflects the psychology of the character?

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Hmm coming from a non Star Wars fan:


-don't like voiceover guy's voice - sounds forced
-I instantly liked the look of the movie - and I guess the setting of the movie means no more excuses to fill the screen with CG extravaganza overload? That's a great thing
-again, minimalist look, great. Please keep it that way.
