azrael Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Some creatures at the panel And pics of the First Order: Quote
calubin_175 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Is this new 26 inch TIE Fighter bigger than all previous Hasbro TIE Fighter? Furthermore, I hope it is more accurately to scale rather than the loosely to scale 2010 AT-AT. Quote
Kelsain Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Phew, I thought that said "General Nux" "Hux" is somehow much better. Quote
Knight26 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Hmm, nice footage, but where is Hammil in any of that? Quote
azrael Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Hmm, nice footage, but where is Hammil in any of that? Hamill showed up sometime in the latter half of the panel. Here's the full panel: Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I haven't seen Ford that genuinely happy in years. I mean, he actually smiled. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I haven't seen Ford that genuinely happy in years. I mean, he actually smiled. Well he did almost die a few months ago. That kind of changes your outlook on things. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I guess Tim from "Spaced" finally got over "The Phastom Menance" then, huh? Quote
M'Kyuun Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 The camaraderie between Carrie, Mark, and Harrison is so genuine...very much looking forward to more Star Wars. I'm glad they didn't show anything; this is a film I really don't want spoiled. Given the personal and professional investments of Kathleen, Lawrence, and J.J. in Star Wars, I'm feeling hopeful that these will be the movies I'd hoped the Prequels would be. It's a shame GL so marred his own creation that many of us fans, myself included, are happy that his influence on this film is merely tangential. Quote
Agent ONE Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I haven't seen Ford that genuinely happy in years. I mean, he actually smiled. I don't think he has played an optimistic character in a while. Han is one. Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I have to say, Everytime I see something new, I'm excited and very much not disappointed. There is definitely a lot of heart going into so many practical effects, which cost more these days. Quote
calubin_175 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Four out of six of the main cast are British. Looking forward to it. The age of Star Wars returns. That 26 inch TIE Fighters looks to be a good alternative to Hot Toys' 1/6 scale, but as a toy the details and proportions are still massively inferior to Bandai's 1/72 model kit. Quote
danth Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Man that is emotional to watch. I'm a grown ass man and it's hard for me to not get misty eyed about Star Wars. Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Star Wars: A New Hope was my first movie memory, way back in the late 1970s. Anybody else here have that same experience? Edited July 12, 2015 by TangledThorns Quote
505thAirborne Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Man that is emotional to watch. I'm a grown ass man and it's hard for me to not get misty eyed about Star Wars. Same here, just looking at the Falcon and a X-wing being built make me smile. But knowing that CGI will be as minimal as possible and actual sets, costumes and ships were built tells me that J.J. will not let us down. Plus seeing Han & Chewy in the Falcons cockpit again is pretty damn awesome!! Star Wars: A New Hope was my first movie memory, way back in the late 1970s. Anybody else here have that same experience? I was born in 76, so Empire is my first Star Wars memory! Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) I was born in 76, so Empire is my first Star Wars memory! I was born in 73 but I remember Empire Strikes Back a little more vividly, not just the film but the long friggin' lines at the cinema. We had to wait weeks for lines to die down before my parents would take me to see it. Return of the Jedi was worse with lines wrapped around the cinema house, ugh. Thankfully I never encountered that with the prequels and doubt I will with Ep7. Edited July 12, 2015 by TangledThorns Quote
JB0 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I was born in 81, my firt Star Wars memory is some vague snippet of the Ewoks cartoon. Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Regarding the Comic-Con panel I just wanna smack the girl that asked when they'll add more asians to the Star Wars films. It's sci-fi, why make it politically correct?!? Quote
JB0 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Well, because it DOES feature humans of several recognized modern subsets of homo sapiens. And it's a big galaxy, there's plenty of room for more. It's not like she's saying the Skywalkers should be retconned into an ancient ninja clan. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Watching the Panel now.... None of the bad guys seem particularly menacing or evil to me. The red head seems like a dork. I don't think the new girl is very attractive either. She has a really protruding forehead going on..... I feel like this can't be bad... I just hope it isn't fluffy and pulling in too many directions. Seeing Harrison out there is a big deal. He's been so distant from the series for so long, it's nice to see him back. I remember watching the first Star Wars on HBO, and I had a copy of it on Beta Max tape that I watched one summer over and over. I also remember when ROTJ came out in the theater, and actually shopping for toys in TJ Max. They had giant Isle with just carded figures. Edited July 12, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote
azrael Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Has the Reel been posted? Pretty amazing. A day late and a dollar short. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=38403&p=1209184 Quote
Roy Focker Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 If Ford and the original actors look happy it is because they and even Ford need another hit. The movie industry has changed there aren't that many really good movies any more. Big time movie actors who would never appear in commericals or tv shows 10 years ago are now dying to be on HBO or Netflix original. Ford would have refused to do the prequels because back then he was bigger. Now every actor who want to work is jumping on Super Hero movie wagon. Quote
myk Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Has the Reel been posted? Pretty amazing. Now THAT is a frakking Star Wars movie... Quote
JB0 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I do hope they finally resolve the longest dangling plot thread in the franchise's history... Quote

myk Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 To hell with the Christmas list, I'm getting that for myself! Quote
Dobber Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) It looks like they are just using a slightly modified (intakes,thrusters, and canopy) older release for Poe's X-wing. The s-foils look like they still open the old way ie laying on top of each other instead of resting level with each other front to back. That's disappointing. Chris Edited July 16, 2015 by Dobber Quote
electric indigo Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 To me it looks like the split wings - the leading edge of the top wing starts at the middle of the upper engine. Quote
Dobber Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I hope so....though I'm looking at the lower wing. It appears to be awfully wide and also the blaster mounts don't appear to have a way to cohabitate when the wings are closed. Again, I hope I'm wrong but something looks off to me. Chris Quote
