UPDATE 3! Snippets of Star Wars: The Force Awakens Footage for Monday Night Football.
Ever since the Instagram teaser popped up, people have wondered what has Rey left in a state of shock in the above scene. Now, a four-second clip shown on ABC Family shows us exactly what she’s afraid of.
This shot is most likely from the imminently-arriving trailer itself – or, if failing that, a television spot that will pop up not too long after the trailer hits. The trailer will arrive tomorrow on Monday Night Football, during halftime.
UPDATE 1!
There’s another new snippet of footage revealing establishing shots of Rey, Poe, and Finn.
UPDATE 2!
One good update deserves another. Here’s a extended look featuring another shot involving Finn and Poe.
UPDATE 3!
Okay, this is where things get a little weird. The next two clips are things we’ve already seen, while the last one gets a bit… *creative* with the way it approaches advertising the movie.

Guys you should check this out too…http://indierevolver.com/2015/10/18/ir-exclusive-some-early-looks-at-concept-art-of-the-ships-of-star-wars-the-force-awakens/
Wow, they look so cool!
if only they get back those V-Wings from the early Empire era before A New Hope

+ More B-Wings and Z-95’s, that is my wish :]
What is that voice saying? And is that Practical effects? Is hard to tell because of the quality.
That’s just BB-8 beeping inarticulately.

Reminds me of Battlestar Galactica, when the Cylons invaded New Caprica.
Totally!! I got goosebumps when I saw that scene in Galactica :]
Holy sh*t! http://makingstarwars.net/2015/10/a-few-moments-of-the-new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/
It is a moving combination of innocence and fear in Rey’s face.
But where is she? There are plants around her and BB-8, and trees above them. This doesn’t look like the desert planet Jakku. (Or maybe Lucasfilm has finally reached the awesome scientific insight that there can be more than one climate on a planet?)
It’s not Jakku at all. It’s Takodana.

The magic… I feels it!
so is this leaked or on tv for everyone to see?
TV spots promoting the trailer thats dropping tomorrow
Thnx
Little mini trailers of the trailer
Wow.. Pinch me. That teaser was sweet!
I like that scene alot. Everything’s got that “this feels real” effect. The very feeling I got watching OT for the first time! ^^
The second one in the update is amazing.
SHUT THE FUCKING BLINDS
Love seeing those aliens in the background of Finn’s shot. I think I even see Asty.
Can’t anyone get a decent recording of these spots? Come on!
FOUND IT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNl0TzHAor8
At 0:09 one can see the MILLENNIUM FALCON in the background.
Well spotted.
Oh yeah. The more I see, the more confident my belief that TFA is gonna be awesome.
Yes!! Exciting times…
I’m thinking Finn is undercover.
Hold up… J.J. said that there would be NO new footage until the trailer. Granted that this material may wind up being in the trailer, it is still revealed therebefore.
At 0:08 – 0:09 in this snippet, one can see the Millennium Falcon in the background.
This is only slightly better video quality, but still not great official upload.
https://youtu.be/8Oq1nEzAZIQ
Wow, the music sounds great! =P
Can I say that I’m getting tired of seeing “dramatic faces”? Please some plot even if nothing key is revealed!
the reactions they had when they saw luke for the first time
Why should they risk it?
We can destroy and enrage ourselves with a photoshopped picture. You know what we’d do with a plot point? This site would crash, eggs would be thrown, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
Fanfilm….that music is only thing that remind me that this is “star wars”
you are wrong
No, you are
Nightsisters wasn’t Star Wars a decade ago. Now they are.
Your point is?
My point is that abrams should stay out of this and so as disney….George is george and whatever haters say it will not change the fact that only he is the chosen one to make another star wars movie.
I’d do anything if he made this one. If time machine exists I will use it right away, and Im really serious.
I’d MUCH rather have an awesome fan film than a dreadful Lucas one.
Nerd speaking 😀
Do not forget to warn other cinema visitors to bring raincoat because of your massive nerdgasm
Zzzzz
If he made this one, it would be so. Much. Worse. They already talked about what he had in his draft he gave to Disney. A bunch of teenagers running around as Force sensitives…Yeah, we already have the Hunger Games, and Maze Runner, and we don’t really need that in Star Wars.
Wrong. George himself told it was a bunch of young people in theyr 20s
Teenagers, 20-year-olds…. same freaking difference.
Keep defending him like it matters.
I guess he shouldn’t have sold it then…….
Please remember George himself wants to see a SW movie “as a fan” in the seats rather than the creator.
Maybe because that clip only shows the new characters, different planets and situations. It doesn’t make it un-star wars tho. Just new and different Star Wars.
Agreed. If this film has characters we care about and can relate to and an exciting story that builds tension, it will feel like Star Wars.
I felt the same with the prequels haha
I felt the same with the prequels…
Prequel hater….why am I not surprised ?
You shouldn’t be. More than half the Star Wars fan base doesn’t care for them. There’s one of us in every two you meet.
Those Prequels are strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil they are.
Cos they were shit films. Objectively shit.
Angry, introverted, basement dwelling, change resistant, bitter nerd who doesn’t want to look silly for having an opinion that may very well turn out wrong after complaining the last three years.
Tee hee.
Because the prequels were so much like the OT. Lol.
http://youtu.be/VNl0TzHAor8
First time we see Finn in a normal situation 😀
Weird looking alien at 0:09, bottom right of screen.
Looks like Simon Pegg’s character!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL-bOeCdVvM
CG trees!!
Not to mention the JJ Lens flair…
But I’m okay with that as long as it’s a great story 🙂
Completely agree with you FJRamos. Most important is the story being (please, please, please) character driven once again.
I like not noticing the lens flare because it’s used naturally and responsibly. Good job, Abrams! 😀
They seem pretty real to me. As far as I’m concerned, this is a part of the scene we saw at the SDCC reel where Stormies got blown up at some forest. This is apparently the same forest.
It’s Puzzlewood
Oh so this annoying sound came from BB-8….
(slow clap)
It appears like Finn doesn’t want any involvement with the resistance in that clip. (the reluctant hero). Poe Dameron you good looking son of a gun….
Yup. Looks like it’s Finns first time at the base, and Poe gives him a “Glad you came to your senses” look.
So the trailer will also be available online at the same time right?
Probably lest pissing off everyone that doesn’t have ESPN and the international community.
Here’s the one of Rey looking up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQSVFhzlYFY
She’s so cuuuuute <3
She is cute. But the 10 ten TIE Fighters screaming over head (Don’t worry, I counted) is what really made me jump up and down in my seat for this particular teaser.
Hint: you should all check out the ticket sale(s) at your closest theaters. To my surprise, I opened up the website of Finnkino (Major finnish Movie Theater company) and it seems I’ll be getting my tickets in twelve hours. I CAN’T FREAKING WAIT!!!!!
Ugh. I called my nearest harkins, they didn’t even know about the trailer tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure they’ll get updated pretty soon. 😉
Finn & Poe clip: https://twitter.com/starwars/status/655820692802306048
How did you create this fan-made trailer? Awesome quality! How did you get those 2 famous people to be in it?
Connections *wink, wink*
Wow!!
Have you noticed the millennium falcon inthe background? 🙂
Nobody commenting on the slow-mo (behind Finn as he turns around to look at Poe), same kind of slow-mo that we saw with the exploding stormtroopers. I’m…divided. I think it looks cool actually but it doesn’t feel like it belongs in SW
I don’t know yet. It didnt really bother me, but we will find out a lot tomorrow.
Also. I am now interested in Poe. A lot. Just has a great look, and feel to him.
Am i the only one?
Sounds like you’re looking for a poemance bruh. Jk. 😉
Lol no. Definatly not in that sense.
I mean that from just 2 clips of him, he looks like a leader type of character. Which should be fun.
Just messing. Yeah, Poe is going to be awesome. He’s a great actor.
A Most Violent Year was very good. I’m halfway thru Show Me a Hero, also good. Isaac was excellent in Ex Machina.
Really liked him in Inside Llewyn Davis.
You have a poemance! haha nice.
Yeah I think all 3 look badass and convincing
Because that effect is likely only for the trailer. Quite common.
This will be just for the teasers, wouldn’t fit in the movie.
there was slow-mo in Empire Strikes Back 😉
Yes for a very specific scene that by its nature was different from everything else, hence why they used slow-mo in that sequence.
No; he’s right. There was slow-motion in that film and you’re now simply arguing that it’s perfectly fine in that film because it’s an original Star Wars flick. As it stands today, that particular scene DOESN’T belong with the rest of the films at all. It’s almost jarring. Yet you’re rationalizing it being okay. Now, think about what you’re doing with your anxiety over whether or not you’re going to like the new movie and chill.
I wasn’t arguing against using slow-motion in Star Wars, also I’m pretty chill. I think you misinterpreted my post. I was just pointing out that nobody was up in arms over the slow motion yet, I personally think it looks pretty cool behind Finn’s back. Maybe you’re the one who needs to chill.
However I have to argue that the scene absolutely belongs. It is actually in there. And it serves an important plot point: If Luke fails, he may become as Vader, twisted and evil.
Also, I said “it feels” like it doesn’t belong, I didn’t say “IT.DOESN’T.BELONG.” Having seen the clip a gazillion times it no longer feels unnatural or unusual, so I don’t care whether it’s in the final movie or not, to be honest.
Its just for the teaser.
I have links for all three in higher quality!!! 😀

Falcon in the distance at the very end 🙂
I knowwwwww 😀 I was brought to tears by all three of these teasers — I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow! xD
Looks like that PZ droid at 0:06 (the pale blue thing walking towards us as the resistance forces run by).
X-wing landing at beginning. Cool.
Holy crap that was awesome.
I can’t believe I live in such times.
Thanks Keegan!
The internet is going to break tomorrow evening.
“You’re breaking my Internet, Annie”
PZ-4CO
Where?
If you look real close, you notice that Poe is heading towards Leia and PZ-4CO and Finn is heading towards the Falcon. Love this teaser.
Good catch! thnx
OMG yes!
Goosebumps. They did an outstanding job handling the marketing for this movie. The teasers and timing of everything just gets my blood pumping. After seeing the Finn and Poe scene, I’m absolutely ready for this movie now. I have a feeling they are going to hit this one out of the park and surprise everyone.
I just saw another one on ABC Family, but it was just BB8 rolling around like weve already seen
i think the full trailer will be all new clips rolled into one, i hope im wrong
It’s definitely going to feature these shots but nah I expect a lot more. All of these are still teases, very similar to the first two teaser trailers. The full trailer will tell us a small story of sorts I imagine, there will finally be a healthy dose of dialogue and sound from the movie rather than just audio over the top…. there will be much more to it than this, and it’ll probably be a good couple of minute or more in length. Especially since this is the last trailer, and the first full length trailer it will be more than a few disparate shots of people looking moody. Just hope the plot more or less stays fairly vague. Also want to see more or Ren.
I wouldn’t be surprised if these little teasers arent even in the trailer tomorrow. They just seem like a little something getting us ready.
Seems like Poe says something to Finn off camera and Finn gives an ever so slight nod. Clearly they’re buddies but some serious shit is going down. I’m interested in how it appears Poe is clearly coming back from doing something and Boyega and everyone else is off to go and do something… Looks so bloody good All the new shots (and old) look good. I’m a prequels basher, I know, but seriously, there’s more character in these people than anything I got from the prequels. They all look cool, I can really, finally, see them as an awesome trio now.
The film is going to be AT LEAST an entertaining action sci fi extravaganza very much like the Star Wars we know and love. Quality of the baddies, quality of the plot, is what will really make or break this. I have faith in Kasdan and JJ, and now I have no qualms whatsoever about the cast. Looking like great performances, especially from Ridley as a newcomer and to star in such a massive franchise. She has a great look. AHHHHH going to be soon good! 😀
So first of all, they put Rey in the centre of pretty much every little piece we got. Than we got Finn, holding Lukes Saber and so on. No we got Rey in the centre of the poster again. So who will be the MAIN person of the film like Luke in the OT. My guess: it’s Kylo. It’s the story of a Skywalker again, but now twisted from dark to light, not like Anakin.
So who will be the MAIN person of the film
Rey.
Not sure about that. Seems like a trap. It would be too abvious.
you can’t make any detail of this film not obvious. Rey looks like Anakin, like Luke, rised poor in a desert planet. She’s the centerpiece of all marketing. Come on, she’s a Skywalker.
What I see from this small interaction of Finn and Poe is that maybe after “saving” him and escaping with him from the FO and leaving him alone on Jakku, maybe it’s the first time they see each other. Poe doesn’t seem too impressed while Boyega is like “Oh shit, it’s this pilot I escaped with. Now I’m on HIS side.”
This video said it all
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tiNTgw8S9CQ
Umm…ok?
Cry more, and harder, Obi Wan hasn’t heard you over the anguished screams of those who died on Alderaan. Yet.
Amazing how they start coming out of the woodworks. Unhappy people unable to enjoy anything. Sad.
This honestly reminds me of the hullabaloo that went on over the Bond reboots with Daniel Craig. How terrible they were going to be without the pre-requisite camp, the OH NOES A BLONDE BOND which actually had a website erected to commemorate their stupidity asking for signatures to ditch Craig..Which was taken down the day after Casino Royale came out and was a stellar flick.
Some people just can’t handle change. But we’re 40 years post 1977 and the original Star Wars movie. Things change. People change. It’s going to be alright. We’ll all survive this, good or bad. After all, I really don’t think we’ll do worse than the prequels. Maybe just as bad. But worse? Hardly.
The insanity of anyone who criticises the look of TFA’s first teaser trailer USING CLIPS FROM THE **&$*&*% PREQUEL TRILOGY. Jesus. What world must you live in?!
It is called planet earth , and you ? Wherever it is I bet your species are no brain noobs whit lack of understanding good movie from bad but no worries, just practise, practise and practise.
Work on your grammar and we might actually listen to your inane babbling.
The way the camera pans around John Boyega nearly 360 degrees…un Star Wars like.
Also the hues and color saturation don’t look like Star Wars either.
JJ….what have you done.
Well can’t blame the guy for wanting to immortalize his handiwork. I will be fullfilled if Han is treated right and we at least see Luke for more than 1 minute.
Star Wars has a distinct look and feel….deviating a little bit is fine, but it’s looks like JJ’s gone further than what most fans would find acceptable.
As long as he’s jettisoned the Lens Flare Generators, i’ll be fine with his artistic take on Star Wars. Can’t be worse than the dreaded prequels.
I liked all of the movies myself but I know what you are talkign about. I could live without Ewoks or Jar Jar. Still, this film seems to have a whole new vibe, I cannot yet place it in my mind next to the previous episodes. I need more footage to process this right.
Lets hope you are right, i have deep reservations due to this first movie being under the direction of JJ, after what he did to startrek. But, i will give it a shot as it is Starwars another franchise i love. I have reservations, i get this feel as if it is a reboot.
You could ‘Live without Ewoks’….? Well now i just can’t take anything you say seriously.
I didn’t like the Ewoks, I never liked them very much anyway. I also didn’t like Jar Jar because both of them were stupid additions to the saga. I know the work Lucas did on the Ewoks was amazing but still, I cannot wrap my head around how bows and arrows flung by little bear creatures could take down armored trained troopers. It was too ridiculous for my taste. Still, as a kid I enjoyed their presence more but as I grew up I realised George had just run out of ideas by the time ROJ was in production.
Hold onto that thought, we are talking about JJ here and IMO the man is so overated as director.
I’m glad you speak for all of us in this Mike. Did we nominate and elect you or something? To speak for us? The fans?
Hate to tell you bro, but I’m 35 years old and a life long Star Wars fan. Everything I’ve seen so far has made me very excited, and I think it looks fantastic. So, no, you don’t speak for MOST fans because I’m one of them, and I’d prefer anger, scared, bitter people like yourself who get worked up over change in a movie series to sit quietly at home and scream their rage at the walls instead of posting silly comments in an internet thread.
Or electing them the Decider of Star Wars fans the world over.
I disagree, I really like J.J.’s directing style. He likes to do a lot of shots that start with one character and then change perspective and go to another, nothing wrong with that.
Yes. A New Hope and Revenge Of The Sith look the same. You can’t hardly tell they were released 28 years apart.
Star Wars film have never strayed from the look the first one had.
ANH had wall to wall CG from the opening scroll to end credits?
No. I was being sarcastic.
Can’t tell if you were being sarcastic or “being sarcastic”. Damn our post modern world’s corruption of irony. I just want someone to hold me again like I was in the lake country on Naboo.
Attack of the clones and rots are the ones that deviated from the visual norm.
Episode I had different designs but visually felt like star wars.
Whether you like it or not, they are Star Wars. Made by Star wars creator himself. So, pretty much the so call “look” you claim to exist, really doesn’t exist. We have films that have used wildly varying techniques.
In fact, one of the things about Star Wars was being on the cutting edge of film-making. How ironic now people want the new films to look “old” and “classic”, when Star Wars was a hit in the first place for breaking the mould and looking nothing like you had seen before.
If people had your mindset in 77, Star Wars would look exactly like a film from the 30’s, not be a breakthrough in cinema.
Hey, Star Wars called and left you a message. It said the original film is almost 40 years and it’s okay if you move on with modern cinematography.
You, sir, just made my fuckin’ day.
Thank you, thank you so much.
lmao
God forbid anyone do anything new in this movie, but then you would have other entitled jackasses complaining about how it looks too much like the previous movies.
My overall concern is for how JJ does this movie, from all indications it seems and feels like they are rebooting the franchise, while trying to not make it so apparent? JJ did the same-thing to Startrek, look what he did their, many think he did good in the reboot, but that is a matter of opinion which i do not share. Ill give the movie a shot because it is Starwars, but i have deep reservations as it pertains to JJ.
It’s not a reboot though. Star Trek clearly was a literal reboot, and doing it using time travel as a very a-typical Star Trek device to effectively do a complete reboot with new actors while keeping it consistent with that world.
This is a direct sequel. A modern day version of Star Wars. Sure it will use some new techniques and JJ’s directing style will of course come out, just as Kershner’s did in Empire for example. Empire was such a great movie partly because it featured such strong visual imagery, unique camera angles and an amazing use of colour and tone to set the mood, far surpassing A New Hope and also more less devoid from RotJ which was shot in such a dull manner relatively speaking. I’m happy to see a modern Star Wars film done with flair.
As long as they don’t break the Star Wars conventions, like no slow motion, being told in a linear fashion etc then I’m fine with it. Then again Empire had that odd “vision in the cave” sequence and it fitted. If done the right way and with care, new elements of Star Wars story telling could be introduced, but for the most part I hope they keep it consistent. Just the visuals and those actors, great sound and score and a plot with some good twists and we have a great Star Wars film in the making.
We shall see, as i stated iam going to give it a chance but i have sever doubt as it comes to JJ after what he did to Startrek. Alot of people liked it, i don’t see the appeal of JJ, nothing he has done is anything spectacular and people hold him up as the greatest thing since slice bread, i don’t see the appeal, better directors than him but this first film might do well at the box office, but that doesn’t mean it will be great, longevity as you know does more as we have seen Ep1, 2, 3 are very highly criticized for several different reasons. In getting back to Star Trek and JJ, i would have been fine with what he did if he wasn’t so set on doing what he did, it might have been a reboot but it was poorly executed and many ppl like myself cant wait until this entire disaster is over with and we can move on. I also don’t fault JJ completely, because he was doing what he was told by the out touch executives, that like to roll out the franchise when they feel they need to. I just hope the 3rd installment wont be as big if not worse disaster. It is the passion of people like me, to those of Starwars that want to see the best for the franchises, i just happen to like both franchises and i don’t want to see JJ hands on another franchise.
That’s funny because I hear and see a lot more negative outlook towards JJ than positive generally, from half the people on these boards you’d think JJ was devil and he’s out to destroy your vision of a “good” Star Wars film.
I don’t see any issue with him in particular. I enjoyed the Star Trek films and the rebooted 2008 Star Trek is generally held in a positive light. It’s not like JJ is just some random nobody making a Star Wars film. He definitely has the skill, patience, and enthusiasm to do a well made Star Wars movie. Therefore, I am not skeptical of his approach. Also, it’s not just JJ working on the film, Kennedy, Kasdan, and Iger had a lot to do with it too. If it ends up going south then of course somebody will get the blame and that most likely will be JJ Abrams.
Each their own, while you claim that most people enjoyed it, lets talk about that when we are decade after and lets see if it holds any longevity. I am thankful that others like Kennedy, Kasdan and Iger are there instead of allowing JJ to his own devices. Overall i am not skeptical on JJ and his delivery as much as his hand in helping to mold it as he has free rein when it came Trek, as it is was soulless and didn’t have the heart of what is Trek. I could have accepted it, if it had that which has always been the heart and soul of Trek, but we didn’t see it. I think for the most part you stand alone in your opinion of JJ, as you have stated more people don’t see him as something that is so great.
The main complaint about JJ’s Trek was that it was too Star Wars-y and not Trek enough. Hardly a problem when he is now directing a Star Wars film.
I think overall a lot of people misconstrue the nature of Trek and what it is vs. what other think it is. Trek always has created or gave attention to the times of moral and ethical questions, which we didn’t see in either Trek. The action was fine, i just didn’t see the heart and soul of Trek in JJs reincarnation of it. His arrogance in his projection of what was has done nothing but hurt the franchise more than it has help it.
Still, while I can definitely see how his approach would not fit Star Trek’s spirit, nothing about it bodes badly for Star Wars, which always was a swashbuckler throwback to old movie serials and space adventure.
So the Star Trek – Star Wars comparison regarding JJ is meaningless in this context. In fact, his handling of Trek only made him a more obvious choice for Star Wars.
I can hardly stand to watch ESB because the cinematography is better than in ANH. How dare J.J. do anything other than a shot-for-shot remake of the OT!
Good point! Even though I love Lucas’s compositions in ANH, I’ve always preferred how Kershner moved the camera around more in ESB, and he used more creative set-ups in those camera moves.
Thank you. I guess I did’t have to be a smart ass to make that point. These boards are a path to the dark side.
I honestly agree with you.
Episodes I IV V and VI had a very specific visual style and feel which I’m not feeling here so far.
Star wars always felt like something beyond it’s time, now it just feels like another modern day product.

I’m sure it will be an okay movie, but will it really be memorable?
The prequels had still camera work.. and that helped those movies didn’t it?.
Ok ppl lets break down these things.
First of all Rey looks so beautiful, even when horrified, imo the best thing the new generation has to offer so far but we shall see, I have high hopes for Finn as well.
The galaxy is a total mess. It shows. The restistance seems even poorer and weaker than the Rebellion. When I saw their base I felt I should start a donations run.
Poe is a loveable smuck. I really like him, he seems to be the guy who was always right from the start and he will torture you for realising it. Very nice. The way he handled Finn in that shot was priceless.
Again, Kylo igniting his lightsaber. Why do I have the feeling that in the end this scene will not be longer than 2 minutes?
System, i have been wondering about this 1st Order and have been thinking that while the Emperor/Vader had other force users in there ranks to do what needed to be done, is the 1st Order made up of Force users? Ive seen No one say or imply that?
As for Poe, he looks like a very interesting character.
Additionally Boyega mean-mugging Oscar isn’t very Luke-like….
This is more inline with your atypical angry black guy…again, not the kind of thing you would normally see in Star Wars.
Well “reluctant hero”, he said it. It will show up in his acting. As far as I can see this new film loses some of the magic of the classic OT but we need to see fore footage to tell. As long as there are scenes without music and powerful and meanifngul dialogues like Obi training Luke or Han meeting Luke and Obi then the film should hold some of the esssence of the saga.
Also, i want to know why we see NO new Jedi Order of any kind but it would seem the 1st order has these force users that seem to be sith? That is my impression, i want to see the story move forward and it seems like we are attempting to start over.
you’ ve got the point. At the end of Jedi we saw that the light side is on top, had a much better starting position than the crushed dark side. Yet now…
I have to wonder, if Luke reestablished the Jedi Order or seeked out force users to teach them in the ways of the force. It isnt as if he needed to go to another planet to create this new order and if so, you have the republic protect the location or have it on a world that has been erased from archives.
Luke’s absence from the poster is an indicator that he was not up for too much action for some reason. I really would have liked to see a Jedi Academy but we might have to wait more for this to happen, if at all. Also the Knights of Ren have a neutral feeling about them, closer to Revan’s philosophy, Force in Balance….
System, perhaps they are holding back on the Luke situation which i can see and understand. AS for the Jedi Academy, i also share that opinion as i stated before, as for the Knights of Ren, i have wondered while you stated they are in a sense neutral, what if they are lets say the remnants of the Emperors hands, inquisitors or those that were raised to be arclights from the time of the Emperor? Or could they be a new Order that was created under what was Luke and emerged out of a defunct Jedi Academy? I want to see something more along the lines of what we have seen in the story-line from Old Republic, this battle between light vs. dark, not this one Master and one apprentice it just seems to cheap.
I never had ANY idea there were so many blatantly racist Star Wars fans in the world. Collective sigh.
They are not “so many”. It’s a very small, but very vocal, bunch of people with nothing bettere to do thant spam this kind of crap, repeating the same stuff over and over again, changing nicknames when they get kicked out.
Don’t let them impress you, they’re less than irrelevant.
This is the same guy who got banned last week for the Boyega racist comments, hes just back under a new name. He’ll be banned again soon though.
It’s funny, at first people like him complain that Finn breathes too much, now they complain he looks too mean.
Can’t please em.
Hes a racist troll. He’s been complaining about Boyega for days. He says Boyega is Jar Jar Binks of the new trilogy and that hes a poorly received character, baseless comments as if hes saw the movie already
You have NO context for that scene whatsoever, but you instantly assume angry black dude. That’s messed up.
These teasers are simply perfect. The tone is very intriguing and a bit shrouded in mystery not giving away anything but suspense and thrill. Short and sweet. I’m very nervous to see the trailer tomorrow. I know it’s going to be awesome but I just hope it’s not too long and I hope the only thing narrating it is Williams score and sound effects. I don’t want to hear any dialogue, although I’m sure there will be some.
The new trio have good on-screen presence. You can tell that based on the teasers and TV spots. It feels like Star Wars and a bit of something new!
I’m sad to not see Luke on the poster but knowing JJ, there has to be an incredibly detailed mystery/reason as to why he has not been “officially” shown. (I personally think Finn is on a mission for Luke, but why Luke isn’t on the mission himself bothers me)
December 18th is so far away! Although, I’m glad they waited this long to show us the trailer/poster. It’s getting increasingly difficult to wait on this film from such a beloved Saga! Just imagine how more difficult it will be after we all see the trailer!
I miss Luke as well. He was the first thing I searched for on the poster and… well we all know that feeling by now…. I guess JJ had to plan ahead and start milking the saga for money. This is Disney, they paid a lot of money to undertake the saga, they want them back, with interest. JJ has 2 more films to plan, in his mind, Luke can certainly wait and so can we as long as we cough up the green ones.
Because George Lucas never did anything with Star Wars for money. Right?
Here is the thing, George is not in charge any more. And for the record, each time I left the cinema after an Episode I was always “AH, that was good, yep I can wait 2 years, no prob”. This time I will see a film and hope to have a glimpse at the MOST important character, Luke, then credits. This is not a tv show, its a movie, no large cliffhangers!!!! Again I am comparing to PT not OT because in all fairness, OT had ESB with Han in carbonite.
My response to your critique was that Luke was being held over largely until the next film because of money. But..maybe it had to do with creating a better story? You have 3 new characters, and 6 old characters, that they’re trying to build a new saga around and all need screen time and their moments of glory and back story laid out for us. All new back story for Poe, Rey and Finn. 30 years of back story for Han, Leia, and Luke.
That on top of the actual PLOT of the film.
It’s not even a two years wait for Episode VIII, it’s coming out in May, and there’s a stop over in Rogue One between them. You’ll be fine. Promise.
Luke is not the most important character. Clearly, the saga will have new leads from now on.
As long as he is alive he is the main character, the saga has new leads yes but the main plot revolves around the Skywalkers, never forget that.
Yes. And it seem Daisy Ridler is playing the main Skywalker this time around.
I get your point. Many dislike Disney but I understand George felt they would be the best ones to take on and continue the Star Wars legacy.
Going forward I think we are going to see more of Luke & Leia in the future episodes. I also can’t judge Disney/Kathleen/JJ until I’ve at least seen the new film. I sort of wish JJ was going to direct all three films but I understand it’s probably something way too powerful for JJ to handle all on his own. (I like Rian, but am skeptical of Colin for the last episode in this trilogy)
Star Wars IS film. Star Wars IS cinema. Star Wars IS why we go to the movies. The idea of a galaxy far far away and long ago IS why Star Wars still lives today. Star Wars is more human than any other film/saga. It’s why we buy the toys, introduce our children to the classic films, and why there is so much speculation, doubt and opinion towards this new trilogy we are about to experience. It’s pretty incredible but I have a feeling everyone that worked on the film did it with a lot of love and care. That’s all that really matters to me. Whether it’s black actors, white, brown, orange, or green on screen that doesn’t matter at all to me and shouldn’t if you truly love Star Wars. As long as it’s “Star Wars” and I feel like I’m IN that galaxy again come Dec 18th, in my theater seat, i’ll be extremely happy.
Is JJ even attached to the other 2? HE isn’t Directing. Is he involved in the writing? producer?
Yup. Hes a producer for all 3 films. He also helped write the whole trilogy I believe, not just The Force Awakens.
wrong, VIII is, thankgod, Rian Johnson’s original. no JJ or Larry on that one
Yes Rian Johnson is writing the script for Episode VIII, but I’m pretty sure JJ has laid a lot of the groundwork in terms of story. It would be silly to write three standalone films, and have three new people come in and write them all without any collaboration.
I don’t believe I’m wrong. JJ helped write the story, ofcourse Johnson has creative input in his film, but JJ was in the writing room for the trilogy, helping to shape the story. Hes also the producer of all 3 films if I’m not mistaken
But you are. JJ is not writing or rewriting anything else. He is an executive producer, which he also was, for instance, for Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. It’s mostly a credit.
I didn’t say he was rewriting anything. I said he was involved in shaping the new trilogy and helped, I’m not saying he wrote the script for the other two films, they have an outline already set for this trilogy. They aren’t making this story up as they go. If you’re saying he had no influence at all outside of The Force Awakens then okay.. but I’ve read and heard otherwise.
You said he was in the writing room for the trilogy. He just wrote The Force Awakens. In fact, Episode VIII started writing when he was deep shooting The Force Awakens.
Surely he will be consulted, but people here have said he’ll re-write drafts and similar tasks. He’ll probably just give notes here and there. Especially because JJ must want time off now. They offered him The Force Awakens just as he was going to take a hiatus to spend some time with his family. I suppose he’ll take that time off now.
Let’s just settle for there will be as much of his influence in further films as there are by Spierberg when he executive produces Transformers films. Surely, The Force Awakens sets the story into motion, but JJ himself has said Johnson is now taking the story forward.
Coolio. I have faith. Plus, it is in the hands of Kathleen Kennedy.
I think they’re holding back Luke, because he isn’t a big presence in this movie. I’ve accepted the possibility that Luke indeed only shows up at the ending of the movie, so theres no reason to mislead us and promote him as if hes heavily involved this film. I’m hoping the rumor that Luke serves the New Republic with Ackbar and Han’s daughter, while Leia leads the resistance against the First Order. The rumor states Luke and New Republic arrive at the end of the movie to save the heroes and finally join the war. Im hoping THIS rumor is true
Lets hope so, i can respect if that is the case and not showing Luke in using it as a big build up. While at the sametime, i want to know why we see or what appears to be NO new Jedi Order of any kind? Alot of different rumors floating around, JJ is not that great when it comes to secrets, he tried it with Startrek only to find out that it was Khan with another name.
Interesting. I haven’t heard that rumor but sounds like it could happen. I just hope Luke coming to save the day at the end isn’t anti-climatic. That was my issue with both Star Trek films by JJ. I hate it when someone comes to save the day at the end, especially when it’s done cheesy or the heroes “win” too easily and there isn’t true genuine peril!
I think it’s why ESB is widely considered to be the best Star Wars film, the ending is not “happy” but it’s very stressful and focused on Han (probably more loved by the fans back then at that point, than Luke) in serious trouble with an unknown fate.
I hope TFA ends in a similar fashion or at least with a lot of the characters fate “up in the air”. I think Finn will end up with an unknown fate at the end of TFA. I would love it if after his duel with Kylo he actually is nowhere to be found or the First Order capturing him. Which would make Rey and Chewy’s search for Luke even more dire.
Imagine if they get to Luke at the end of the film and Luke is like, “Where is Finn?”, or he knows Finn was badly hurt or captured (because of the force) and there’s no time for celebration, only training Rey to go find and rescue Finn. (This is of course if Finn is indeed a Padawan or Jedi in training with Luke, and what could motivate Rey to follow her destiny in becoming a Jedi and facing Kylo again)
I recall Lucas outlining his approach to the original trilogy as something like – the first movie (act) you introduce the characters, the second you put them in the worst possible situation, and the third you show how they overcome the situation… if the ST is following a similar line then Ep8 is where the sh*t will really hit the fan.
Here is a link to all three teaser trailers edited together to one 40 second one: https://youtu.be/c-L9wN1F60U
I’m not seeing aggression.
If you don’t mind me asking, what are you seeing then?
Building trust, respect and camaraderie.
a familiar slap on the shoulder and uncertainty.
I have watched it a few more times, paused and replayed… The way Poe locks eyes, his bump and Finn’s puzzled look really don’t look encouraging or familiar to me… Rather says “You better not mess up kid, a lot of people are putting their trust in you…”
I don’t see that at all. He looks like hes trying to hype him up, and is glad that Finn came to his senses and joined the Resistance. Finn looks reluctant and out of place. Poe seems surprised to see him, and is giving him an ol pat.
I 100% agree with you Sifo Dyas.. Take a look at the image i posted above. I feel that he will play a bit of the Ex Machina character 😀 which I’m perfectly fine with
This new website format sucks btw. I prefer how it was previously setup.
What do you mean?
This has been raised previously and we have been assured it is not only noted but is being addressed. Apparently it is only affecting mobile devices.
I’m on PC and it’s slooooow as heck.
I just got to work and fired up my PC, the massive difference between PC and mobile sites is the torrent of advertising appearing at the top of the mobile version before you can even get to the story… my PC doesn’t have this at all (btw my PC seems to be loading the site reasonably quickly)
I guess he means it is difficult to.view the site on a mobile device. I am reading it now on my phone and it ‘s really painful.
Oh. they said they would be fixing it soon, so I wouldn’t worry.
They already stated that this will be fixed in the weeks to come.
Great.
Possible spoiler (based on rumor) I think this will be a very charming moment, where Finn hasn’t seen Poe since the crashed Tie fighter much earlier in the movie (perhaps Finn thought he was dead), and now suddenly here’s Poe arriving all geared up and ready to go again, giving Finn a familiar slap on the shoulder. I love this shot!
Same here. It’s a small moment but it manages to speak volumes.
Exactly. It screams, “Hey, kid! Good to see you – with my jacket still intact.” 😉
Exactly my thoughts! 🙂
To me, Poe looks encouragingly at Finn, as if he is wishing him luck for a dangerous mission.
Perhaps a more positive Han-Luke moment before the Death Star battle in ANH.
That is what it looks like to me too. I suspect Poe knows their chances of success are slim, but he doesn’t want to show it, especially to Finn.
I feel that he is stirring him up. I don’t believe that these two guys get along very well. Freeze frame at Look at Finn’s reaction. He is discomforted by it.
Finn’s “I never should have rescued you!” quote also helps this theory.
Poe also doesn’t pat him on the shoulder with his hand. He gives him a nudge with his elbow/arm
Look:
I love it when two heroes dislike one another but still respect each other. I wish Age of Ultron showed more of a rift between Cap and Iron Man. That’s drama!
Not watching any teasers till I watch the full trailer!
You’re a stronger person than most. Good on you.
You’ve got the patience of a Jedi. May the Force to resist be with you.
His mother flew an A-Wing during the attack on the second Death Star, and his father was a member of Han’s Endor strike team.
actually in the comics Shattered Empire, both of Poe’s parents are introduced, neither od them being Wedge
Are they the Lost Star’s book heroes?
unfortunatelly not, but I sooo fell you.. i enjoyed List Stars immensly,. kinda wish Ciena nad Thyrell will pop up one way or the other in the squel trilogy
hehe looks a little like a Lost episode 😉
welp, we’re getting closer and closer to finding out how disney’s 4 billion bet on this magic negro boyega will turn out.
I been watching football all day and didn’t see any of this. These clips just proved how epic this film is gonna be. Looks perfect
I think I see PZ-4CO in the background right as Poe passes Finn!
Yeah, Poe is heading towards Leia and PZ-4CO while Finn is heading to the Falcon.
And I believe that’s Ello Asty running in slow motion at the end of the shot. I think part of the reason I’m collecting all of the figures is so that I can gleefully spot them in the movie!
I don’t think that’s the Ello Nasty guy. That thing isn’t wearing a uniform and is very hunched over. Ello Nasty was very humanoid except for his head and he is a pilot, so I don’t think that’s him.
I was referring to the big headed fighter pilot in the middle of the screen when the camera settles at the end. I have no idea who the hunched over alien is, but I’m sure to buy an action figure of him/her at some point. lol
Oh my bad!
Every single shot in this movie is a work of art in its own right. It’s insane.
Agreed. The shots we’ve seen so far are very interestingly composed.
We haven’t seen creative camera use like this in SW, and it feels great so far!
I just don’t get why lucasfilm is releasing snippets of footage. How about just showing the full trailer instead, and not during a football game half time.
Marketing. The Giants/Eagles is a big rivalry game (Giants also my favorite team) Monday Night Football gets 15-25 million viewers. Those who didn’t know about the movie will definitely know now. Patience!
While we’re big fans, and can’t imagine anyone NOT knowing there is a new Star Wars film coming out, there are a lot of people in the general public who don’t know. Others are just vaguely aware of it, but know very little. This is a great way to introduce the film and the fact it comes out soon to a large part of the non-geek movie-going audience. It’s also a way to get us geeks, many of whom aren’t into sports, to watch MNF, and drive up ratings. It’s actually a wonderful marketing strategy.
I think the thing I currently love the most about ESB is Irvin Kirshner’s director commentary. It is one of the best most enthusiastic commentaries ever, and nowadays I watch the movie more with that track playing in the background than I do without it.
meh…. not feeling these new characters
What, 40 seconds of footage and no dialogue? Obviously they’re no good. 😉
I understand completely, I feel the same way.
Rey…meh….Poe…meh….Finn….barf.
Kylo’s the only character who’s even a little bit intriguing.
Hey, can I borrow your time machine for one sec? Also, is it a DeLorean or a bathtub?
So do I. Nor Kylo looks nice to me, too bland of a villain. Why is he cool? Just because he wears black robe?
Even Kylo seems like a rehash of Darth Maul. Sith enforcer with an unconventional weapon and a video game style mask.
Rey and Finn… can’t say anything about these actors, we’ll have to wait and see. I hope they have good chemistry. What bothers me is that so far everything looks like it came out of a marketing department instead of the mind of a visionary.
The only designs that seem genuinely inspired are BB8 and the new stormtrooper uniforms.
Good thing you have seen the movie. I was worried you were making premature judgments before any bit of dialogue or any true story beats have been shown. Oh wait….
I mean the design primarily. Also, we heard some dialogue recorded for some of the new toys. And we kinda know the story. Space Nazis / First Order try to rebuild the empire, works with cultist Kylo Ren who is on a mission of his own which is somehow Vader related. Stormtrooper Finn gets stranded on destert planet, meets Rey, teams up with her, end up having trouble with pirates, Rey eventually turns out to be a Skywalker, enter original trilogy characters. search for Luke Skywalker, enter Kylo Ren, lightsaber battle, OT characters save the day, everyone overcomes their differences and pledges to save the galaxy. Han possibly dies, though I wouldn’t bet on it.
We know most of what will happen except for the last 45 minutes of the movie.
The story reads okay so far. Nothing special, but maybe I’m just spoiled by recent movies like Interstellar, Mad Max, etc, hoping for more than just a “unlikely hero” story or “characters a & b meet, train and have flashy space battles with dumb acrobatics”.
I love Star Wars. Those first 3 were magic. I just hope the marketing gurus and focus group analysts haven’t sucked the life out of it
Just took another look… still not seeing *encouragement*… certainly not anything like the moment between Luke and Han in ANH before Luke heads out to attack the Death Star. The lack of any dialogue between Poe and Finn in that snippet leaves the door wide open to interpretation, but I would think there would be a least one word of support spoken (if support is what is being conveyed…)
Is it just me, or does the Resistance appear to be poorly equipped compared to the 1st Order?
Reminds me of the Family Guy episode Something, Something, Something, Darkside, after the training montage when Chris/Luke says “is it just me, or does the dark side have a better gym?”
🙂
JB is looking very Kirk-like in this clip – – which is not a compliment.
Can definitely tell this is the same director who made Star Trek – again, not a compliment,
Bah, I’m being too judgemental.
I think you’re spot-on!
Am I mistaken, or are you making that judgement based on his appearance for a solid 5 seconds? I’m assuming it’s the Poe/Finn clip, as the other only has him in it for a little over a second, and surely it can’t be that one.
Yeah, I am making a judgement of this specific clip.
note how i said “in this clip”.
And IN THIS CLIP, he’s looking very kirk-like.
haha good point man. i just love you cannot be critical on this website, you always end up with “youre judging whole movie based on the poster” or “OT purists can never be satisfied”. people need to chill out and realize that not every negative opinion on a new marketing material is “hating” or “judging the whole movie”. and yes, that clip had a really ST feel to it for me, and the slow motion towards the end.. i was like noo shit
The heavily breathing scenes are reminiscent of Kirk landing on Delta Vega in ST 2009.
I wouldn’t be too surprised if Poe is just a new Spock or Bones.
After reading some of the comments, It’s clear some of you will never be satisfied. Making opinions based on small teasers and trailors with no character dialogue is premature. But I understand. We are passionate fans who love the original films very much. We just want to enjoy a great film. But I say Just enjoy it for what it’s worth.
I think that there’s a difference between being “fan” of something and being obsessive about it – and I think it’s pretty much the same difference between loving someone in a healthy way – thus accepting them for what they are – and stalking – thus projecting one’s fantasy on someone without really seeing him/her and being obsessive.
I think the people you just described, those who will never be satisfied, belong in the second group. They have their own, very specific, ideas about what/how “Star Wars should be” and anything that’s even remotely different than that is perceived as a threat. That is *NOT* being a fan – it’s just unhealthy, obsessive, fanatism.
Word
Wow. Really well said man. You totally summed that up perfectly. So true.
Good point. I was just being nice. You definitely explained it better than I 🙂
Being kind is always”better!”
Someone said: “Even The Phantom Menace have had a beautiful trailer before the official opening, so The Force Awakens can still suck as a movie”. Yeah, but no one, in 1999, could have known how the saga would have been continued. Watching now the 1999 teaser trailer, every lack of that movie appears very clear. The trailers for The Force Awakens show a world much more material, and much more alive. And the general tone is very dark and anxious: you can feel the First Order threat even from a 18 seconds clip. No… this time we have enough elements to say that this movie is pretty well done in terms of atmosphere and design…
You can turn this around – agreeing with everything that is done to Star Wars and defending, say, the prequels, is unhealthy, obsessive, and fanatical.
I don’t think so.
I can accept the prequels as part of SW, but I don’t have to agree with them being “good films”. I can accept the story as it was woven, but also state that the movies didn’t communicate that story in an entertaining or effective way.
Basically what you are saying is healthy way to love the movie is totally accepting and love whatever they show us, unconditionally, right? Just switch off your brain and enjoy. Sounds more like lobotomy to me. You have to accept that people have different oppinion and taste, we are not sheeps…
Nope. What I’m saying is that the healthy way to love everything, included movies, is to be open minded and able to accept that things may be different than what you whis or expect as opposed to judgemental and single minded.
It has nothing to do with being acritical and unconditionally accept everything BUT: have you seen the level of obssessive nitpicking that is going on in the SW fandom? There’s people complaining that the missing 20th Century Fox fanfare at the begging will “ruin the experience” and people putting down the whole movie, story, characters and all, based on a poster and a few seconds of footage and so on: this is definitely unhealthy.
I’m going to wait until I see the film until I decide I hate it! We nerds love to hate things. ESPECIALLY hating this we love.
Right I just saw the BB8 teaser tv spot online, same clip as from the 1st teaser trailer but… they’ve totally redesigned BB-8’s voice. Hey just makes very bland flat chirps. In the Rey tie fighters clip you can hear it’s changed to this voice too. I have no idea why, it sounds horrible and he definitely sounded much better in the 1st teaser, gave him a great personality. Now it’s flat and just weird. Very odd decision and presume this must be the final voice.
Don’t jump the gun just yet. He may STILL have the other sound effects.
1st sound effects were better. We’ll see how it plays out.
I always thought the first voice sounded like Ben was mashing up some old Wall-e and Eve sounds together. This one sounds more distinct. But I agree, why change it now.
It’s just an audio cue. It’s a short commercial with no added background sound. Just the beeping. It’s at a higher volume in order to get audience attention, which is why it has that over-dubbed, out of place quality, that’s all. They may have tweaked the register a little, but again, most likely just for commercial purposes.
BB-8s “voice” will be fine in the film.
I hope this is just a situation where they simply added simple sounds for these little teases before the trailer so they could emphasize the music. These shots are essentially silent with a few added sounds layered in. I doubt they represent the actual sound from the trailer or the movie.
It looks like everyone is putting their helmots on so why is Poe getting out of his X-wing? Is he like, “gotta go to the bathroom brb”
Seems like the ‘incorrect’ leaks earlier this year of the 2nd teaser’s contents were actually referring to this trailer. I distinctly recall one source back in Feb or so saying that the teaser featured Rey looking up through the forest at low-flying tie fighters…
…we didn’t see it then, but we are seeing it now.
It all looks fantastic!
http://makingstarwars.net/2015/04/what-well-see-in-the-next-star-wars-the-force-awakens-teaser/
Does seem to match…
The final arch of TFA will be the same as the attack of Death Star in ANH , ROTJ, which was shown in Poe and Finn preparing the attack for Starkiller base which is Death Star the 3rd.
Idk in the first and second teaser we see them skimming the water on a forrest planet, not a snow planet, and their ships are in attack formation.
Guys I have some Information about the Story. It’s from a website by a cinema, so if you don’t want to get spoiled you shouldn’t read.
Finn actually is a stormtrooper, but soon start to dislike the First Order so he got into prison, where he met Poe. They escape and Finn end up on Jakku
And Rey owns Luke’s lightsaber.
From the text it seems like Kylo is still a Knight of Ren and he doesn’t work together with the First Order.
Are you this new? You know that Finn’s name is an acronym of his ID, right? FN-2178
No, I just wanted to share, that it’s now official.
“official” .. lol.. wherever you got it from got it from the rumor mill as well, there has not been any official news about any of the characters full names, besides those known through the toys.
Seriously, what’s your problem? Don’t you have anything else to do than comment on something you don’t care about. I already said where I got it from, so and if you can’t read you should probably do something else than lurking around here all the time 🙂
it seems that you are the only one with a problem here.
That is old, dude… We knew that for the past 5 months, no matter if it is only official now.
so is Disney actually going to bother acknowledging the rest of the world other than the USA and let us know what exact time we will be able to see the trailer online and where? Nice to know us loyal fans outside of America are really appreciated and that our first viewing of the trailer will probably be some dodgy recording job posted on Facebook by a fan directly after the NFL screening. What about ticket pre sales here in Australia? theres been no talk of that either. We’ve all had to wait so long for this trailer and it just seems like Disney doesn’t even care about anyone else outside the USA.
I’d imagine the trailer will be posted on the Star Wars YouTube channel immediately after it airs but not sure.
Yes, trailer during Monday NIght Football is immensely USA-centric but I guess that’s where the money is…
(In my opinion, they could have put it during one of the Rugby World Cup games, much, much more exciting sport than American Football, but hey, guess you can’t argue with the 25 million Americans who tune in on Monday nights)
But if i were Disney I would be Putting the internet release of the trailer as top priority! That is world wide publicity at the one time across all time zones! They should be marketing it as “Trailer online Oct19th (at whatever time)” as the main news and then just show it during the NFL as well.. but the way they are doing it, is advertising that this trailer is going to be shown during the footy match but no mention of anything online or when/where.. get your priorities right Disney. Online release is way mor important. it s 2015 after all..
Alas! Rugby is so boring and dull! Football is way better!
Got the tickets for the 16th of December!!! 😀 in Denmark they just went on sale for about an hour ago!
Give me more Luke already. I’m disappointed they stashed Luke away until 2019. They’ll will pull out their Luke for a few second, then put it away and say their virgins and no one is supposed to see the Luke until we’re married. Damn values.
Remember, this is a new generation we are witnessing, let the old one rest.
NO! Nobody cares about the new generation, all the oldfags want is Luke/Leia/Han!
WE MUST. Keeping the focus solely on the original cast would make it very much a retread. I know it’s hard to accept it, but we must give our maximum focus towards the new generation, that way it can create a huge hype for the movie.
You is the one who didn´t get it. The point is that this is Disney’s error in adding the original cast/characters to this new film. They did this in order to catch the old fans’ interest in seeing Luke back but, as a backfire, they do not care about the new heroes.
That is one thing the prequels did right: all new characters, just 2 or 3 were back… The proof that The Force Awakens has a weak content is that Disney must rely on Vader or young Luke action figures in order to potentialize merchandising revenue, and not only on original characters.
It can also be a good marketing point…from a certain point of view. The thing is, maybe the original cast is there, to symbolize the passing torch of the old generations of heroes to the new ones, you’ll soon get adapted to the new generation Agon, wait and mark my words, know that Star Wars doesn’t have to be stuck with the past forever.
It sure it does not need. But we know people: they expect the same exact experience that the OT provided. They expected this from the prequels, and that´s basically why prequels failed, not (only) because they are bad movies.
And this may happen again: people are expecting a happy adventure starring Luke/Leia/Solo and they may get frustrated. Let´s wait and see.
What about the drone photo of Adam Driver dressed as an X-Wing pilot? Has anybody found an explanation for that yet? Was it a red herring or is the whole Driver/KyloRen thing a red herring? Isn’t it weird that Kylo wears a mask and yet they have already (supposedly) revealed his identity to us in Vanity Fair? Characters in movies normally wear masks so there can be a surprise revelation at some point… Does anybody else get the feeling we are being duped? Sorry for so many questions and thank you all in advance for your answers.
Yes, I’ve begun to wonder if we’re not actually seeing Luke Skywalker – as in, he’s behind Kylo Ren’s mask. In certain publicity shots it seems possible (like the shot where Kylo stands with a few stormtroopers in front of a burning building), in others like the Vanity Fair maskless shot, Kylo Ren looks a lot thinner and taller. What if…
I have a bad feeling about this too. The shot you mention looks a lot more like Hamill’s build than Adam’s.Mabruno and Leopoldo could both be right – it could be that Luke’s a Ren (or the top Ren) too.
What that means I’m not sure. Is he counter-intelligence seeking force users or had a turn for the dark or somewhere in between. ‘Good’ is just a certain point of view…
Hmm, they don’t look so different to me.
Adam Driver is Kylo Ren. That is official.
I’m getting a feeling this movie is going to be good.
Well I got my tickets booked! So relieved. Midnight showing in the big cinema in Glasgow, 2D showing. Got literally the best seats in the house. Good distance, big gap in front so no big heads spoiling my view, dead centre. AHHHH! It’s happening. Going to be good! 😀 http://t.co/5RwoUCjZfG
haha, good stuff, bit further back though imho 😉
dead centre though, nice tickets bud
Best bit is there’s no seat in front, can just walk in and out as I please so I can have my usual 2 pee breaks before the film starts haha. No one with a big head to block my view. It’s close enough the screen fills your vision but not that you’re sat staring straight up at it. So happy I nabbed these seats! Sitting there refreshing like a boss for about 50 minutes paid off! What a night that is going to be!
That’s no cinema. It’s a space station.
I think this is one of the biggest screens in it, but it’s an 18 screen behemoth. It used to be the tallest cinema in the world, might still be… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cineworld_(Glasgow)
Can ask my American friends, so this is half time during this match… what time will that be then? Give me it in whatever time zone you work in and I’ll find it in BST (British Summer Time). Thanks 😀
I wish I new more about sports to give you a definite answer but the game itself starts 5:15 PM PST.
I’m not a big Football fan, but I believe around 5pm PST. But, some have also said the trailer would air at half-time, which means 6:30-7:00ish PST. So there could be a window of a couple hours there. Expect online trailer to be released around same time.
Because of all the potential stoppage in a game of American football, there is no set time for how long a half takes, but it is usually around two hours. So, I would expect to see it around10:15-10:30 pm EST, so that would be between 3:15-3:30 am in Britain.
I’m so glad Star Wars fans across the globe will discover how awful and strange American football is. And yes, I love American football because I don’t know why.
Does anyone knows when the trailer will be aired, in Swedish time?
3 am 🙂
Ticket sale here in Belgium has started. no midnight screenings but we still get it a full 2 days before USA. Got Morning tickets to the first showing. its really really going fast now.
same thing here in Italy 😀
I have been through this in 1998 when the first trailer for Episode I came up. To this date the trailer is outstanding, I like the look of the move, the cameras, the colours, even the story… but only on the TRAILER. For me the Episode 7 can have the worst trailers/teasers ever, but I would rather be surprised with good movie.
Recently I have watched episodes I-II-III and don’t remember what it was all about. Looked like a one big teaser.
Lawrence Kasdan and JJ Abrams are behind it now, they’re saying that the scenes need to have something to say, some purpose to be there at all, not to show millennium falcon ‘just because’.
I was really hoping back then in 1998. Now I have the same childish feeling and I literally ‘sense something; a presence I’ve not felt since…’ 1983.
THIS teaser poster is SO GOOD.
When does the trailer officially air? I need a time estimate for Greece time.
tomorrow morning
Yeah I did the conversion, 4 am here omg I will have to camp it out 😀
Hey! I’m in Greece too! I suppose the trailer will be up on YT by Tuesday morning. Can’t wait 🙂
Well we will get it in the middle of the night but no harm done, I will stay up to see it.
GOOSEBUMPS!!! My body is starting to tell my brain to get ready, but I don’t think that it will be. I so want to call off of work to prep myself… but, the Wife says no. DAMN IT!
listening to your wife lead’s to anger, which leads to the darkside. Stay at home and prep!
That’s what i’m talking about
The servers of the theaters in Holland are down due to the huge amount of people wanting those tickets… damn!
i know, fuck
Keep trying! 😉
Pathe ‘de Kuip’ for me!
Yeah glad I managed to get great tickets for Imax 23:20 16th before the servers went to shit 🙂
You lucky bastard!
People are getting crazy for it, two months in advance :O
My home theather in Holland started selling the tickets an hour ago, no problems like Pathé had fortunately! 10:30AM on the 16th, so happy!
Finally got tickets. Going on the 16th @ 13.15!
Is it just me, or does Poe look like a Skywalker?
He is not. His parents’ identities have been actually revealed: his mother was a pilot in the attack to the 2nd Death Star and his father was a member of Han Solo’s ground team on the moon of Endor.
You never know….. they were all pretty – close- to each other….
I see some Skywalker in Finn’s mouth and strong chin – the picture of the latest figurine next to Rey’s on this site caught my attention.
This pic of Finn has Skywalker all over it
isnt it a littlebit racist to absolutely dismiss persons ethnicity and point out a meaningless facial features to make it suit some sort of weird theory? Finn is BLACK, get over it.
Oh STFU you whiny little bastard.
how you know I’m white ahahah?
That is the strangest thing I have heard this week.
People tend to breed – and in so doing, make kids, and amalgomation of the genes of their parents, with basically no way of predicting what part of the kid is from the baby-daddy and what part is the baby-momma.
So, Finn being a Skywalker [he’s not BTW, I just disproved it w/ my computer-brain as seen above^^] is in no way hindered by his skin color. At all.
Though you’re right, I need to make sure to call JB’s hair African-American, because calling his hair “black hair” would be insensitive. Shit – he’s british, okay, British-American Hair- fuck! I suck at this!
Yes it is racist to absolutely dismiss a persons ethnicity.
?? My theory came from seeing similarities in the facial features not the other way around. That and hearing Boyega saying fan theories haven’t come close to his real story made me think for less obvious possibilities. There’s nothing to “get over” here except perhaps the fact that you don’t seem to understand that people with varying degrees of melanin often have children together. Take a look at the Star Wars creator and his beautiful wife and child.
Come to think of it, ^^ these figures may hold important clues, due to the fact that they are expressionist creations based on the artist’s preconception, thus, by seeing what facial features are over-accentuated, it may hint at whether or not they are related to previous characters, but there are factors at play:
The artist might not have been supplied with information on the character, further they could actually have drawn them under mis-perceived assumptions, rendering the above misleading. [Yes I am overthinking this let me finish]
OR, the artist could have received extensive info on WHO the character is FOR REAL.
Then there’s factoring in non-genetic role assignment [i.e. making the jedi look more “heroic”, making the villain overtly creepy, etc.]
I think it IS possible that these figures might shed early light on the sit’ of the new film, but keep it with a grain of salt.
Update: Comparison and Assessment [feat. additional over-thinking]
http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/40/4819440-disney-infinity-star-wars.jpg
My thought: Based on the features of the figures, Finn’s figurine is not designed like a Skywalker. He has overplayed “hero” features, but compare to the scrawny depiction of Luke, and I’d say he’s a non-relative.
Rey, on the other hand, is off the charts Skywalker all the way.
Her jawline is has been given the same accentuated angles as Luke. And her nose – face-width ratio is pretty close to Leia’s.
Though I see little to prove or disprove that she is related to Han – EXCEPT, note the prominence of her chin compared to Leia, Leia has a small, flat chin. Rey has a hero-chin with visible crease.
Now compare Rey’s chin to those of Luke and Han, comparing which one is most similar, Luke’s chin is more cleft, whereas Han’s chin is rounder and more pronounced bulge.
I’m tempted to say that Rey has a more feminine take on Han’s chin.
Overall, Rey is 80% likely to have been designed with the Skywalker gene-pool in mind, and 60% likely to be Han’s daughter.
DISCLAIMER: Anyone who even thinks of comparing anyone to Chewbacca will be shot personally by ME, and then shot by Viral Hide.
Chewbacca is MY family, no one else’s. You have been warned.
I doubt the artist that sculpted these was given a copy of the script. They probably had a couple photographs and know about as much as we do.
Oh ok, didn’t know that.
But his faces similarities with Luke are pretty huge… in my opinion.
Anyone think that Kylo’s name derived from sKYwalker – soLO?
ooo nice find
Servers have been horrible for Odeon in the UK, but I managed to get on bright and early to get 2 tix to the first showing on our biggest screen in Southampton UK, 00:01 on 17th December. So chuffed, gonna be dressed up and will take my Saber, all while dragging my poor fiancee along for the ride!! hehe
Yeah it took me a few attempts.
IMAX Milton Keynes 11am on my own (saddo) then Vue Bicester at 7pm with the wife.
Here are all the six micro teasers edited to one: https://youtu.be/zfWwAjUf_Zg
Oh yeah!
Nice congrats! 🙂
The midnight showing. Sweet.
After getting the first showing early this morning, the Odeon site was slow and kept getting my selections kicked out before selecting my seat. Took a further 2 hours to get the showing I am taking my parents too on the 18th. Keep trying peeps, the early rush should have subsided for UK Odeon buyers now. It went through really fast when I finally got in again!
Good luck to us all!
Bought tickets for two showings on the 17th. 11:30 and 15:45. Never been to watch the same movie twice in the same day before but TFA looks like it will be worth it. Feels like 1980 all over again.
Is it bad of me to complain that it looks so real it looks fake =)
It’s ironic we go from the PTs which range from realistic looking effects to really bad super bad CGI to this which from what i can tell look beautiful but still looks like CGI. So no effect is perfect i just hope its looks better through out the film.
Well, the CGI in the trailers looks great. I don’t think it will look fake in the final movie. Although there are still movies released with horrific CGI Pan/Terminator. But this won’t be the case for Star Wars.
The CGI here looks great, but the CGI falcon from the first teaser looked a little off for me when they released that trailer. Hey i agree the final effects will blow us away i just hope the effect stay consistent throughout the whole film.
I’ll give you that! Consistency is very important, fingers crossed they manage that.
CGI in early trailers is often not the final product. Its slapped together so the trailer can get out the door.
I’ll be watching it on the 16th of december at 10:30 AM in the Netherlands 😀
I like how BB-8 sounded originally. She had personality…too bad they changed it
Remember, wait until the movie is out and see how it sounds like.
She?
Why not?
how does this sound different than the toy? you can hear from the background that the part that was also in the first trailer is a completely different soundtrack. in the trailer, you hear bb8 rolling in the sand, the new clip has the sound of fire in the background.
I got used to that sound too, but when I have watched the first teaser for the first time BB-8 sounded a bit childish, jar-jar style. Now it sounds FOR ME a bit more mature, real, doesn’t distract as it used to.
Yeah me too. The new sound feels like a rough first attempt and the original sound feels like the finished fleshed out one with more personality. I dunno, literally the only thing I’ve seen to “concern” me, but I’m sure it’s been done for a good reason and in the whole film it must work better than the sounds I’m currently used to (have the Sphero droid so I’m used to it more than most probably).
This sneak peak sounds more electronic and organic at the same time. More human/robot. I like it. I think has personality.
It appears that the tie fighter flies below the tree canopy in the top left of the screen. does that mean they are on Kashyyyk, looking for chewy. hmmmm?
New planet called Takodana
Anyone thinking BB-8 sounds different here than he did back in the Teaser?
Yep they changed it.
Or that’s the real sound. Exactly The one we will hear in the movie in that escene
Bought my ticket, cant wait. 16 december cant come fast enough.
Is there any chance at all the trailer will go live on the internet before this football game? Or is it set in stone the first time anyone sees this will be in the middle of that match..? Just holding on to a faint glimmer of hope I’m not staying up to 3 or 4am in the UK waiting for this.. Usually it’d be fine but I’ve got a hellish shift on Tuesday in an unfamiliar shop (yay retail) and I’m in charge.
Dammit it’s Star Wars!
I refuse to sit thru 3 hours of American football just to catch a trailer. Considering waiting a couple of weeks and seeing it in the theater anyway. Computer and tele screens just aren’t the same.
How could you say that? The game will be at least three hours long, 11 minutes of which features action on the field! Plus many plays obvious to the naked eye will be reviewed and overturned due to obtuse rules. Also, Roger Goodell! May the Force be with you…
Again…why does a halftime trailer mean you have to watch the entire game?
30 minutes of football could be anywhere between an hour an half or two hours and fifteen minutes. If you want to catch the trailer live, you’ll at least have to flip back to the game to keep an eye on the game clock.
So, lets all cry about it. If you don’t want to change the channel (potentially straining your thumb) just catch it on the net afterwards. I don’t see why this is such a big deal.
It’s not. I like making fun of the NFL.
Understood, and noted. 🙂
Well the game itself will be 3 to 3 and a half hours long, but the trailer is at HALFTIME…you do the math sport. Turn the TV on close to halftime, problem solved.
My friend, this will be shocking to you – not every country in the world has tv program with american footbal…..
This is true…However the complaint I was responding to wasn’t. “This program isn’t available in my country” it was (and I’m paraphrasing), “I don’t want to watch a 3 hour game to see the trailer.”
There is a difference there.
Also, we have been informed that the trailer will be online directly following the reveal
Well, Daisy is already waiting for it!

“Look the size of that thing!” – Wedge staring her forehead…
Here is my trailer mashup with the latest footage

LIMITED EDITION KYLO REN’S 3D Glasses
😀 Yay! Now I can judge people while still wearing glasses and they KNOW I’m judging them by seeing the judgemental expression on my judgtacles. I salute you. Usually, I’d always have to take off my glasses before cutting in line, but now Mr. Stare is actually improved by leaving the glasses on!
Is it just me who wants to see The Force Awakens in 2D? I’m sure it’ll be perfectly fine in 3D but with so much emphasis being put on bringing back the nostalgia of the past I have a hankering to watch the spectacle old style. Or maybe it’s just me being stubborn?
Nah, It’s just everyone wants to have fun in their own “way”, that’s what it’s all about 🙂
Well said.
Whoa, Rey is with (Poe’s) BB-8, looks up and his horrified to see the 1st Order descending (onto a planet with trees)… Poe returns to Base (a planet with trees), having alerted the Resistance to the incoming threat, immediately sees Finn, locks eyes, and gives him a push while his internal dialogue says “nice one Finn, you’ve just led the 1st Order to our Secret Base…”, while Finn is thinking “but it’s not my fault…” OMG if this is how it plays out then this NOT Ep7, but *Star Wars Reboot*… oh please let this not be true!
The Trade Federation descending into Naboo’s forest was nicer, along with that awesome soundtrack.
Where have you been las 6 months? TFA is ANH, including the Death Star 3, just with different names 🙂
Basically it is this.
Hmmm, a young Skywalker on a desert planet, leaves on a journey of self discovery in a wider universe, is aided by an older mentor (who dies?) and then joins a resistance movement against dark forces wielding a super-weapon? ANH + TPM + TFA
Why would the new republic be hiding. The 1st order would be the ones with secret bases
Not the New Republic hiding dude, it is the Resistance…
“Fight between Kylo and Finn is hilarious. It’s like two virgins making out.”
Apparently Kylo has never actually been in a fight with another saber wielder [which would make sense.]
How do you know that Kylo has never been in a fight with another saber wielder ?
common sense?
There may be other Jedi left in the galaxy besides Luke and Kylo may have fought one of them before. Even if that proves not to be the case, when he was training as a Ren apprenticeship, he must definitively have sparred against other knightsto to practice his saber skills.
I hope we see Nien Nunb tonight!
He’s my favorite background character hands down.
I just realised that It’ll be tomorrow around 3 am in my time zone when the trailer will air! Damn, why do lucasfilm/disney believe there are fans only in US
I’m not sure why you feel that way. My understanding is that the movie will release in other parts of the world BEFORE the USA.
I up voted both of you because your both right! yay for the internet!
