smh at all the "this is a fanmade film look" people. You haven't seen star wars in ages I see

 

[jb1234]

Trailers so often get overblown "epic" library music that it's incredibly refreshing to hear music written specifically for one. John Williams, kicking ass.

 

[bananafactory]

Only 1.5 million views? I guess the iTunes one is getting the most views. The avengers trailer got 70 million across all sources in one week, it'll be interesting to see how this fares.

Although, this is only a teaser. I bet the first real trailer will get more.

That's not updated in real time, I bet it's at 10 million already.

 

[tanooki27]

fantastic trailer. sincerely hope this is abrams' masterpiece.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

lol lens flares

how u guys come up wit dis stuff?

 

[jelly]

Have they ever mentioned the light side before ?

About time. Always felt like it was wrong or weird to say.

 

[Ferr986]

Damn, those X-wings.... I think I got a boner. (I fucking love X-wings design)

 

[Tookay]

I do think the shot of Boyega popping up is a little goofy honestly.

 

[Vandiger]

Can't avoid the hype, I grew up watching this shit so yeah I'm excited

 

[zeioIIDX]

Menorah Saber

This thread is too much, haha.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Guys, any good quality still of the falcon and the ties to use as wallpaper? 1080p please.

There was a good one earlier in this thread I'll see if I can find it

 

[Spanx McFranks]

I can't get hyped for this, the trailer did nothing for me.

 

[CountAntonius]

My midichlorians are ready.

 

[CreepingFear]

I can't stop watching the teaser. Help!

 

[Nicktendo86]

It is not Tatooine BTW guys, only one sun isn't there.

 

[Sheroking]

I do think the shot of Boyega popping up is a little goofy honestly.

Yeah, but the original trilogy is really, really goofy and it doesn't feel out of place.

 

[inm8num2]

fantastic trailer. sincerely hope this is abrams' masterpiece.

The Force is with Abrams. I think he's going to deliver the goods.

 

[Trey]

X-wing scene and the Millennium falcon dogfight aerial flip are the highlights.

You can keep the overwrought evil voice over and the stupid ass light saber design.

 

[friskykillface]

im gonna be delusional and say that was dash rendars ship but it got a make over, the god dash on the big screen B^)



great trailer though

 

[Fliesen]

Guys, any good quality still of the falcon and the ties to use as wallpaper? 1080p please.

i clicked through the 1080p trailer frame by frame and it's all VERY blurry. wouldn't make for a good wallpaper, at all. sadly.

 

[Real Hero]

I do think the shot of Boyega popping up is a little goofy honestly.

I loved it and I'm so glad the first character we see is a new one.

 

[Beelzebufo]

With the amount of "remember this?" in this trailer, and knowing that this is the same guy who made the Star Trek movies, I would bet $50 that someone in this movie offhandedly says "Theae aren't the droids you're looking for" or "It's a trap" in this movie. Remember that?

 

[The Cowboy]

This is great.
---
I just cant stop watching the trailer, that x-wing scene gets me hyped quite a bit.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Guys, any good quality still of the falcon and the ties to use as wallpaper? 1080p please.

Just use fill/ fullscreen and you'll get the proper framing.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Was not super hyped, then the Falcon showed up.

 

[CreepingFear]

fantastic trailer. sincerely hope this is abrams' masterpiece.

For what it's worth, Abrams has said he grew up with Star Wars. With Star Trek, I think he said he watched some dvd's before making the first movie.

 

[Tookay]

My midichlorians are ready.

Yeah, but the original trilogy is really, really goofy and it doesn't feel out of place.

It won't be out of place in the film itself but it's a little off being the first shot of a character in a trailer.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

What's wrong with the early shots?

The first one is literally just Boyega in a trooper outfit

Yes, it's a weird shot that makes it look almost fan-made. That and the stormtroopers shot are the only ones that don't really match the rest of the trailer.

 

[The Cowboy]

Holy crap!!!! image.

Just use fill/ fullscreen and you'll get the proper framing.

What a fantastic shot.

 

[Bloodsent]

Great teaser. Sets the mood.

Remember that teasers, most of the time, are completely out of context. It is possible that whoever that Sith in the forest was, perhaps he built the lightsaber himself, with no formal training. Could explain the strange design, the different power up sound, and the almost unstable look of the blade (unless that is now the intended look of all lightsabers).

 

[Naked Snake]

Guys, any good quality still of the falcon and the ties to use as wallpaper? 1080p please.

I second this.

Edit: gloriously delivered already.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

I'm sure this has already been said dozens of times, but my guess on that guy in black with the wonky saber is that he's some ancient evil Sith who recently awakened. That would explain why his saber crackles in an odd way and why it has that hilt: it's outdated technology that "modern" Jedi haven't used or even seen for millennia.

 

[A-V-B]

Also, wuzzup with that saber? Dude's gonna cut off his own hands.

 

[Mariolee]

It won't be out of place in the film itself but it's a little off being the first shot of a character in a trailer.

Not at all. I mean, the point is to catch you off guard. The goofiness shows that this one will actually have something the prequels did not have: personality.

 

[Sanjuro]

Is there any higher quality version than 1080p?

 

[TheClimaxan]

What a week for trailers. I'm so fucking hyped for 2015 at the movies.

 

[Lord Panda]

With the amount of "remember this?" in this trailer, and knowing that this is the same guy who made the Star Trek movies, I would bet $50 that someone in this movie offhandedly says "Theae aren't the droids you're looking for" or "It's a trap" in this movie. Remember that?

Orci and that other clown, Kurtzmann, aren't working on this film though. Have hope.

 

[Zekes!]

I loved it and I'm so glad the first character we see is a new one.

That's what I actually liked about the trailer too

 

[vas_a_morir]

We ain't found shit!

 

[jackal27]

did the guy at the start steal a stormtrooper suit, I thought all the stomtroopers were clones?

Not all stormtroopers are clones omg... Go watch you some Star Wars Rebels. There is a mix of both especially 30 years later I'm sure. Those clone troopers would be pushing what, 60? 70? More?

 

[Paganmoon]

Yeah I feel like it would have been really easy (and lazy) to just throw together shots of old Luke/Han/Leia with some music and take advantage of the fuzzy feelings.

This teaser was pretty bold for going with new faces.

I think we'll see something like that when the proper trailers start rolling in, and I'll be loving every second of it... Even though I usually don't watch trailers. (Teasers don't count)

 

[Beelzebufo]

Orci and that other clown, Kurtzmann, aren't working on this film though. Have hope.

Ooh, that does make me feel better. Thanks!

 

[Freezasaurus]

That lightsaber is rad as fuck. But I can't help but think it's pretty impractical. You'd have a pretty good shot at slicing off your own hand with it unless you're going to use it like a broad/greatsword.

 

[thecouncil]

George Lucas' role in the Star Wars universe was basically to troll it's fans. It's the only explanation for things like adding the much hated Vader "Nooooo!" to one of the franchise's most important scenes at the end of Jedi.

I think Abrams must understand this as he picks up the mantle.

It's why the lens flare is in this trailer. It's the only way this guy knows how to troll us at this point. The world tells him the lens flare is stupid in all his movies and it ends up in the Star Wars trailer.

Anyway, that was a pretty cool trailer.

The hilt and handle of the new lightsaber should be the same material and then the lightsaber should extend from the length of the hilt and taper off as it extends... Two litle lightsabers looks a little dumb, but who knows? I mean, that scene would be cooler without the two sides, but whatever.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

I'm sure this has already been said dozens of times, but my guess on that guy in black with the wonky saber is that he's some ancient evil Sith who recently awakened.

Sounds like you watched a different teaser trailer.

Age acceleration. They would be dead.

That's how I feel as well.

The prequels had none of this:

"I have a bad feeling about this" is mandatory
