myk Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 This will be a long day to remember. Long day? Shoot, I'll be lucky if I get to see this thing during the first quarter of 2016 as it'll be nuts-o until then... Quote
Dynaman Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 First Monday matinee will have plenty of empty seats no matter how well it does. Quote
Duke Togo Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 First Monday matinee will have plenty of empty seats no matter how well it does. Kids are off from school and everyone home from college. The theaters are going to be busy. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 No one's posted the new poster? Now, my thoughts are---I try to avoid spoilers. Watch nothing but the official trailers. But now----well, the poster has some pretty big spoilers to a lot of people, including me. But I mean----it's the official poster. It'll be hard to even see the movie without seeing it beforehand, unless you wear a blindfold going to the theater. So my opinion is: it should be embedded in the thread. But I'm not going to do it until I hear some more thoughts.

azrael Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Yeah, that's pretty big freakin' spoiler. Another freakin' Death Star-thingy???? Haven't we done that already? That was so 1977 and 1983. Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Its a little too busy. Poor Harrison looks confused haha. I'd take about 3 or 4 characters out and focus on the theme of the film, whatever that happens to be... I can't say it has me excited to see the film or anything. Quote
Duke Togo Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) We really don't know what that thing is or who controls it. I'm not jumping to conclusions on anything. Also, it's the official movie poster, I am not sure we should be treating it as a spoiler. Unless you're going to shut down your internet access, turn off the tv, and not leave the house between now and Dec 18th, you're gonna see this thing. Its a little too busy. Poor Harrison looks confused haha. I'd take about 3 or 4 characters out and focus on the theme of the film, whatever that happens to be... I can't say it has me excited to see the film or anything. Well, it's certainly not as bad as Empire's poster. Edited October 18, 2015 by Duke Togo Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I agree with the Duke----the main theatrical poster is going to be very hard to avoid. Quote

David Hingtgen Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Different teaser, with a different 4 secs of new footage: And another: Quote
Duke Togo Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Different teaser, with a different 4 secs of new footage: There are at least two different teasers for the trailer tomorrow. This is one of them. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Well, I've seen three, but the latest is labeled #5... Quote
Duke Togo Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Well, I've seen three, but the latest is labeled #5... Yup, just caught that as well Quote
mickyg Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Interesting... Why is there a character missing from that poster? In fact, that same character seems to be strangely absent from all the trailers so far. Or am I way off here? Edited October 18, 2015 by mickyg Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Several rumors as to why, the most-said one would be a HUGE spoiler, but I personally don't believe it. (And if it's true, keep it to yourself! Ignorance IS bliss in this instance) Quote
mickyg Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Exactly. I'm not loving how much is given away by trailers and posters these days. It sort of kills the fun in many ways. But as has been pointed out already, unless you want to hide under a rock 6 months prior to a major movie release, you're bound to see things you'd rather not see. What can you do? Quote
Kelsain Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I find the concept of teasers for a trailer exceptionally dumb. I can wait... Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I dont think the poster gives away anything, as credits would suggest its just in your head. Quote
Duke Togo Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I find the concept of teasers for a trailer exceptionally dumb. I can wait... They're actually promoting the release during Monday Night Football, and not so much teasing the trailer. Quote
eriku Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Interesting... Why is there a character missing from that poster? In fact, that same character seems to be strangely absent from all the trailers so far. Or am I way off here? I don't know what you mean, I see him on the poster. Quote
seti88 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I don't know what you mean, I see him on the poster. tfaLuke.png I had that question too when i saw the original poster...http://a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/10/star-wars-force-awakens-official-poster.jpg But the one is the new link seems to be a different somehow! Wait is that the ones only jedi's can see? Quote
sketchley Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 @ eriku: LOL About that new poster - I'm glad that they kept the optical printing artifact force fields from the original trilogy around that thing in space. Quote
seti88 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Cmon, no jar jar or anakin on the poster?! Quote

In fact, that same character seems to be strangely absent from all the trailers so far. Or am I way off here? I think that: Krylon Ben is actually Luke Skywalker in disguise From what I've heard of JJ Abrams movies is that the usually contain a big story twist that they try to keep a secret so I don't take anything on the poster for given... ...does Rey has a red Lightsaber in her hands? Edited October 19, 2015 by Scyla Quote
JB0 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 ...does Rey have a red Lightsaber in her hands? I thought she had some sort of beam weapon at first too. Was trying to figure out how the blade attached to her quarterstaff, but no. It's Kylo Ren's sword held parallel to her scrap-metal staff. Quote
Scyla Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I thought she had some sort of beam weapon at first too. Was trying to figure out how the blade attached to her quarterstaff, but no. It's Kylo Ren's sword held parallel to her scrap-metal staff. Thanks, I see it now. It is a bummer though but on the other hand maybe it is foreshadowing events in the movie. Quote
Mommar Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I thought she had some sort of beam weapon at first too. Was trying to figure out how the blade attached to her quarterstaff, but no. It's Kylo Ren's sword held parallel to her scrap-metal staff. Could that mean a hint about their relation? Quote
eriku Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Cmon, no jar jar or anakin on the poster?! Be careful with what you ask for. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 We can't wait to watch the trailer today. Quote
ErikElvis Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Didn't watch the second trailer and will try not to watch the third. S Quote
seti88 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Be careful with what you ask for. BinksAwakens.jpg Kylo binks!! Meeesaaah like!! jar jar show all how to use game of thrones like saber! Meesah finger not working want to say light saber.... Quote
Dobber Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Just had a thought....this is not taken from anything I read or gleamed from anything that was seen/shown/talked about on the Net. Just a theory that just me do to the missing character in the poster. I'll spoiler tag it just in case people get butt hurt over speculation. What if Luke is dead and Hamills involvement is just as a force ghost!? Chris Edited October 19, 2015 by Dobber Quote
