taksraven Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I haven't seen it mentioned, so I have to ask... (Actual spoiler, not another joke spoiler) Did anyone else notice that Finn's not using A lightsaber, he's using Luke's first lightsaber, the one ObiWan took from Anakin? (And that Luke promptly dropped down an air vent in Cloud City. Some people just can't be trusted with toys.) Because it totally is, which raises all KINDS of questions. Does he KNOW this sword's heritage? How in the hey did he get it out of Bespin anyways? Kinda old news since Luke's Bespin saber turned up in Trailer 2 being handed over Leia. She must pass it on to Finn.... Quote
Reaction Warhead Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Kinda old news since Luke's Bespin saber turned up in Trailer 2 being handed over Leia. She must pass it on to Finn.... I thought that was the hydrospanner that Han requested since ep 7. Quote
peter Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBh0hgP8wWk So its Luke and Rey. Seems like the new storm troopers can't aim for $hit just like the old ones, lol! Cool commercial though. Played with the new Kyloe Ren talking figure at the Disney Store, had a few phrases built in that might give away a bit more of the story. Any of you guys get a chance to mess with it?

TehPW Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Do they really need to add the "fantasy sequence" disclaimer? Are people that stupid now to think that's real? Dude, there are people out there who make special needs citizens look like Einstein in comparison to those very people that require that type of disclaimer. Either that, or some lawyer suggested it to the Comercial Production Team, "Just to be safe". Quote
Knight26 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=280535 This is the first time I have seen the two side by side. Overall I like the planform of the design. The new wing shape looks good, but I still don't like the mid-chord split. The sleeker nose has a nice profile and the canopy has been stretched forward. I would like to see a good side view to see if that is because the cockpit has been raised to provide better forward visibility. If the wings did not split at all I would almost love the design. The narrower nose profile however leaves it looking slightly needle nosed due to the lower bulk. Some kind of forward chines, canard, or even an extended LERX off the main wings would really make the design pop. The smaller engines and laser cannons don't even bother me, technology improves and things get smaller as a result. Edited November 1, 2015 by Knight26 Quote
Thom Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I like that long nose on it. Just seeing Revell's snubby-nosed Level 1 kit shows what the alternative is. The wing split doesn't bother me too much. I would like larger exhausts on it though, especially to counter the huge cowls. Perhaps a variant is in order, mixing the T-65 exhausts with the T-70 cowls... Overall, definitely a sleeker, worthy successor to the Rebellion's tried and true war-horse!

TangledThorns Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Is that his answer to the question posed by George Lucas in that Vanity Fair vid linked to earlier in this thread? Knowing JJ we'll see in episode VIII she'll discover the Smoke Monster is her father Quote
peter Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Lol, "Don't forget the trailers for the Phantom Menace were also kinda cool" Quote
JB0 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Lol, "Don't forget the trailers for the Phantom Menace were also kinda cool"I still like the Austin Powers trailer that plugged Phantom Menace. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I still like the Austin Powers trailer that plugged Phantom Menace. This trailer was awesome, more better than the Sissy Menace. Quote
Negotiator Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 i'm avoiding RLM talking about it. they might actually make spot on predictions. Quote
myk Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) i'm avoiding RLM talking about it. they might actually make spot on predictions. With their video on a 47 minute run time, I don't care if they have the secret to the whole movie; ain't nobody got time for that. Bullet points people, bullet points...

Thom Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) I still like the Austin Powers trailer that plugged Phantom Menace. 'If you see only one movie this summer, see Star Wars!' I remember that. It's now a classic. Edited November 6, 2015 by Thom Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Whatevs. The longer the better for RLM. Love those guys haha. And yeah I think their keen eye for editing and catching crap - they pretty much nailed the film haha Quote
Roy Focker Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 New Trailer! For Japan with new footage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdAUiyeJMFQ Quote
Scyla Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 OH my gosh spoilery video thumbnail. So we will have at least two X-Wing battles on two different planets. I guess they are not Hoth and Yavin are they? Quote
Kelsain Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I've stayed strong - still haven't watched the trailer. But even that screen grab gets me so stoked to see this movie! Quote
seti88 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Awesome!! Kylo RENs light saber looks more badass in the JP trailer! Quote
Duke Togo Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Beaten to the punch on the new trailer. A lot of great new footage in there. Maybe too many good shots; I think I would have rather have seen some of that in the theater. I also don't think it's as well crafted as the main trailer. OH my gosh spoilery video thumbnail. So we will have at least two X-Wing battles on two different planets. I guess they are not Hoth and Yavin are they? No, and not sure why you thought they were. They publicly released the names of the planets back in the spring. Quote
miles316 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Does any one know what they are showing taking off from Jaku I think? Is it supposed to be a StarDestroyer! Quote
Mommar Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Mostly I wonder why they decided it was necessary to add or switch some scenes and have some different voice over dialog. Quote
Fatalist Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Does any one know what they are showing taking off from Jaku I think? Is it supposed to be a StarDestroyer! If anything, the ship taking off from Jakku looks more like the type of ship that Obi-wan and Quigon were aboard at the beginning of TPM. Quote
peter Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Really like the side-fuselage shot from the X-wing....very Top Gun, lol! Edited November 6, 2015 by peter Quote
Dobber Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Really like the side-fuselage shot from the X-wing....very Top Gun, lol! I thought the same thing! Also loved the TIE's approaching with the sun behind them shot. Lots of great new footage. The first shot just shows the enormity of a StarDestroyer or possibly SSD when you see how big the engine is with Rey standing in front of it. Chris Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 That Star Destroyer has a name, from the newest Star Wars Novel. AFAIK the Captain flew the Destroyer into the planet over a lovers quarrel, Imperial married to a imperial that defected to the Rebels. Quote

areaseven Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Wow... a simultaneous release in Japan. That's extremely rare for any Hollywood film. My guess is that it will be available with Japanese subtitles only, with the Japanese dub coming in a couple of months later. Quote

Something that wasn't done often in the original films. Quote
Shawn Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Just watched the RLM video...dammit wish I had not, I think they nailed a lot of things correctly. Quote
