Star Wars episode VII: The Force awakens

Movies that suck. Music that rocks. Books and Games, it's all right here.

Star Wars episode VII: The Force awakens

Post by MGM »

The teaser!

Finally new images. And while it shows pretty much nothing, it was still exciting. :D

I wonder how that lightsaber will work in a fight, though.

The lightsaber is a pretty cool idea.

I thought it was pretty great, a true teaser that leaves you wanting more. You didn't catch any of the original cast besides the Falcon, and you still don't know who the Big Bad is going to be. I love the idea of finally seeing a Stormtrooper out of his helmet, that scene was pretty vivid and has stuck with me.

The trailer revealed nothing of substance but I agree it was great to be excited about a Star Wars movie again (before Lucas robbed us of our happiness)

:starwars:

I just hope JJ Abrams doesn't go crazy with the lens flares.

I honestly got nothing from the trailer other than a "cool the Falcon is still around" thought. Nothing else really had me interested. I suppose I'm still gunshy from Episodes I-III.

THIS trailer got me excited for the movie, where the last one left me wanting. Now I want to go see it.

The only thing that's missing is a lightsaber duel. But otherwise it's nearly perfect. And the score helps too, it's amazing how it can make my heart skip a beat.

Who's the voice-over, BTW? Is that Mark Hamill?

I don't know. I just realised I've never seen the original trilogy in English.

I just watched the trailer a dozen more times and the Han Solo & Chewie scene keeps choking me up

Is it too early to ask if/when Lando Calrissian will show up?

I have seen the original trilogy. Even the original original trilogy, before Lucas added stuff in the 90s. But I have seen it in French. I have the DVDs here so I need to sit my ass in the couch and watch them again in English, to know what the real voices sound like.

Marvel is going to release a mini series about him so surely, he'll show up at some point. Hopefully!
