Mommar Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) So those things from the trailer lined up over the planet we all thought were capitol ships are actually "bombers" huh? They look like horribly dressed up B-Wings. I think the idea is they're like a flying fortress and they attempted to borrow the B-Wing aesthetic but... ugh. Edited May 27, 2017 by Mommar Quote
Dobber Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 They reminded me more of Nebulon-B frigates....just smaller. Chris Quote

Chronocidal Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 I'm calling scale shenanigans on the "bomber." That thing in actual minifigure scale would be huge. Re-watching the trailer, those things are easily the size of a small corvette or something. There's a shot of a tie fighter passing behind one at close range that's good for scale. But yeah. I think they're ditching the idea of fighter-bombers, and actually playing with the idea of huge lumbering weapons platforms, more like B-17s and B-29s in WWII. I guess it's not a bad idea in and of itself, but against things like star destroyers, anything that big and slow, no matter how well armed or armored, is just a big fat target. And the stupid thing is still ducking fugly as hell. Quote

Dobber Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) That did everything that the teaser DIDN't do for me. It gave me chills....maybe because I absolutely LOVED music in that behind the scenes video. Man.....when you here the Force theme hit.....crap, I teared up. I'd love for that to be part of the soundtrack. No I'm going to watch it again. Chris Edited July 15, 2017 by Dobber Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Equal parts gut punch with Carrie Fisher's "it's about family" and belly laugh with "it's a wrap". Good stuff. -b. Quote
sketchley Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Agreed. THAT makes me feel excited, and want to watch the movie! (Unlike the previously released trailer... :roll: ) Quote
derex3592 Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 ....should be a meme...."when you have to be nice to the creepy old creeper hugging you"... Quote
Dobber Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Lol, that picture just looks odd...like one of those optical illusion pics....looks like he's super strong holding her up. Lol Chris Quote
Kelsain Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Yeah, the lighting, lens & carpet are all doing weird things in this photo. And though she's super cute, Daisy's shoes are freaking me the f out... Quote
jenius Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Smoke looks seriously messed up... which is cool. Can't wait to learn more about him. Quote
