“Get Ready” for a New Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV Spot!
Another day brings yet another new TV spot. There’s some new footage to be found in this one, showcasing some of the action on Takodana.
The interesting screenshots:
Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
TOO…MUCH…REVEAL…MUST…NOT…WATCH!
But watch you will—–yesss
Watch you will, my young padawan… and still surprised you will be during the movie, Yoda predicts!
But you know you will!!

Love the choir in this new Williams theme. And Kylos fast lightsaber moving looks badass!
Agree Lizzard. Thought the music was amazing!
Harder! Faster! Pullout! LOL
Just let it in…
That Kylo shot
Kylo’s fast lightsaber shot had already been shown before in the Japanese trailer. The only significant new shot is the attack on the castle.
Not like that. Just watched it again and this shot shows more mobility.
True. The footage is slighltly different.
Kylo Ren just laid to rest any doubts about the mobility of his lightsaber 😉
It took millions of crybabies (to be honest, probably just a few thousand) Steven Colbert to tell them the truth, now we see it in action, I just imagine myself Colbert sitting at his desk, watching all these trailers and touching himself.
I bet Luke will be like “Bitch i can reflect 80 bolts in under a second HOW ABOUT THAT ORDER 66!”
Well that was certainly faster and more intense
“Faster, more intense!”
That’s what she said.
Is that a statue to the left of Maz’s castle??
Yep.

Love this ad! Would love a life size working R2,lol!
An R2? Sigh… I’d be happy with just a date. 🙁
i want a BB-8 or even a Chopper(Star Wars Rebel’s)
This is getting better and better. I had some doubt about this movie back when the first trailer arrived, but all gone. Im pretty sure this is gonna be awesome.
I have to agree. I didnt want to admit it, but the first teaser worried me. It felt a little to amateurish, a little too copy paste. Since then my excitement has grown and grown. This last TV Spot for someone pushed me over the edge. I am giddy.
Love Kylo’s little flourish to deflect the blaster fire.
Yep, I yelled out when I saw it! Wife gave me a look and rolled her eyes…deal with it babe I love me some Kylo Ren!!!!
Dear Disney i’ve bought my tickets opening night and on saturday, sunday and monday for me and 5 more friends stop selling this movie we don’t want to see anything more !!!
Dude. I’ve bought tickets for the movie at 10:00 am and 1:15 pm on the 16th! And I thought I was a nerd. 😉
for star wars we go crazy 😀
Amazing
Finn won’t stand a chance.
Finn will probably lose his hand in the fight with Kylo.
Especially if he’s holding that particular lightsaber…it seems to have that effect on people. Anakin twice (if you count Mustafar), Luke once.
Love the saber, but I wouldn’t want to wield it! Well… maybe just once, or twice. 😉
I’m leaning towards him dying in The Force Awakens.
Really? I have the feeling that he will get injured pretty bad, but that he will live to see episodes VIII & IX.
If Finn dies, I wonder if people will come out and call JJ a racist for killing the black guy? I hope Finn doesn’t die, though – I think he’s going to be awesome!
I think the racist thing to do is to pin a story decision on a issue. So, only white people can die? Finn is not equal? Why can whatever happens to his character be bigger than his skin colour?
My comment was in relation to the outbursts of racism from people who had a problem with John Boyega being cast in a major role in the film, which I thought was absurd and awful. In my mind, he is a really talented actor, and I’m sure he was picked because he was the best person, nothing to do with colour. I agree with your comment – I’m leaning towards him dying in the film as well – but I really hope he doesn’t (again, not because of his skin colour).
I love him too. I just hope if he lives or dies has to do with the best story to tell – not what is PC.
I think he will live. Disney has invested too much money on Finn (action figures, etc.) simply to kill him off after the first of three movies.
They can come up with new characters and sell even more figures.
That looks like Soresu or even that one which blocks blasters
And Kylo didn’t even spin around ONCE. So glad they’re not going the prequel route of having everyone dance around like ballerinas with their lightsabers.
God your so right TUD. The twirling jumping chaotic dancing lightsaber battles in the PT’s really ruined the mystique of a lightsaber fight I have had since the OT. Im sure the younger crowd who grew up with the PT’s thought it was cool, and I get that and understand. For us OT people who really enjoyed the epic fight between Vader and Luke during the carbonite chamber scene, and the final death star fight scene, really love the simplicity yet power of the original saber fights. I hope they go back to that.
I agree. Lightsaber battles are so much better when they’re emotionally charged rather than being over-complicated and dance-like. And if Rey’s facial expressions are any indication, this little exchange will most definitely be emotionally charged.
Agreed. I like the idea that these people are trying to take each other OUT, not practicing their balletic, highly choreographed moves. Give me the lighsaber battle from Empire over anything from the prequels any day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0mUVY9fLlw
Exactly.
In the OT lightsabers were meant to have weight, and that translated on screen as each swing having power and importance. With the prequels it all felt so light and effortless… the fights did become faster, sure, but not more intense.
I’d really like to know if this music is part of Williams actual score. I’m guessing not as it sounds pretty hokey and the music from the last trailer was done by a ringer.
At least one of the TV spots is confirmed to have music from the movie, and this music seems new also. Hokey? It’s pure Star Wars music!
Which one? I don’t mean the themes but rather how they were composed. Does not sound like Williams at all. More Kiner-esque.
This one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6rNlK_Rjnc
That does sound more like his style but probably chopped up to hell like most TV spots, hopefully not in the final cut though.
I think I’m looking forward to the scores almost as much as the movies themselves. John Williams’ scores for the prequel movies were the most redeeming thing about them. I think the scores were responsible for elevating the movies from total disasters to merely crushing disappointments. The Revenge of the Sith soundtrack is probably my second favorite of the six movies after Empire.
I agree. I think II could have been a lot better had Lucas not meddled by cutting his music around and essentially wound up reusing the stuff from TPM rather than what he originally had wrote.
Sorry I thought the music was some of the best yet. Any time you remake a classic original people get all up in arms. Me, im glad they are mixing up the original scores.
I’m pretty sure he didn’t score this one though. Which I’m fine with since it will sound better in theaters with a full orchestra.
Just keeps reassuring me that the film will be amazing.
Also, totally unrelated….but does anyone remember in the international trailer where Kylo seems to ignite his lightsaber inside of an empirial ship?? Wonder why he’s doing that? During an interrogation with Poe? Or perhaps him and Hux don’t get along??
Just checking how much charge it has left as Star Destroyers don’t have any USB ports
So many nerdgasms in one week, when the movie comes out I will be completely dehydrated.
I’ll sneak in an IV drip for you. You’ll make it!
Would that be an Episode IV drip? Ba-doom-tttssss
*groan*
NICE
Well played. Well played, indeed.
Screenshot 2…Is that JJ’s smoke monster?…Or maybe Snoke Monster
It’s the attack on Takodana, and it’s EPIC.
One thing they will be doing in these movies that no one picked up on besides myself:
I think Kylo will be a main character we follow. Not just a bad guy and not just a bad guy with depth. I wouldn’t be surprised if the movie is not about Rey and Finn nor is it about Rey and Poe.
The movie is about Rey and Kylo, the Solo twins we all know about.
(Is Rey a dancer or tennis player, she has the body of an athlete)
There was some talk here about Daisy having a background in gymnastics, but that is not mentioned on her Wikipedia article or any bios I’ve read online.
Pretty sure that comes from an interview they did almost a year ago with her Dad. He mentioned she was in gymnastics at a young age to help funnel her “relentless energy”.
I hope your right friend. Kylo is shaping up to be pretty awesome!
Daisy Ridley did some pretty intense training and health dieting. anyway, I agree that this movie will be focusing pretty heavily on Kylo. Villains have always been the strong suit of the Star Wars franchise.
She looks great! I’m glad they didn’t go with the skinny girl look.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XZIDvPT3XNc/maxresdefault.jpg
I think that we’ve all figured that out months ago. And there have been pictures of driver again… months ago. Lol we’ve been riding this train everyday for the past year and a half at least.
I imagine that, after deflecting her shots, Kylo takes the blaster from Rey’s hand using the force. Then he swings his lightsaber around her neck.
Rey”Get Ready” Finn”For What” JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHN CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENA
It’s John Cena. Nice try, though.
And that John Cena shit still isn’t funny.
Speak for yourself.
Amazing. Incredible. Wow what a gift to wake up to. I dont get how anyone can pan the music, its amazing! God forbid there be a new take on the original music. Kylo Ren is so awesome! Is it possible I could love a bad guy more than Darth Vader? Could be! Daisy you are gorgeous and BB8 is da bomb! Ok im a little stoked….
I know, I LOVE the music in this trailer! Hopefully it’s actually in the movie, or at least on the soundtrack.
I love this sit, and now I’m wondering if it’s time to start avoiding trailers and TV spots, etc. If this is what we can expect for the next 4 weeks, we may get to the point where too much is spoiled. Would they spoil the plot eventually? Hmmm….
I feel the three acts have been a bit too spoiled to me. I can put together most of the film now in my mind and that is mostly my fault, because I go after these news.
But I have decided this is the last I’ll watch.
I don’t want another Ago Of Ultron where I literally knew even who was going to die and when from the spots and trailers.
which form of lightsaber combat is kylo using
Type 13: I-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-but-I-will-smack-you-in-the-face-with-this-lightsaber style.
Rare but effective. 😉
na but seriously that guy is probably using form 5
From everything I’ve seen so far I think Kylo uses a mixture of Form 3,5, and 7. The one that really stands out to me is 5. He looks like a guy who wins any confrontation he’s in, almost effortlessly. If that’s the case (and I think it is) then 5 would definitely be the main form he looks to use. If indeed he uses any of the forms at all.
form five seems to be the best bet
Kylo looks like a stone-cold badass. And his lightsaber is kind of scary.
Oh? You wanna shoot at me? Aight. Let me deflect these bolts and force push you. No ewoks gonna jump me in this forest today.
Actually, that would be hilarious if ewoks came out and overpowered Kylo Ren 🙂 Maybe one for the blooper reel!
Dam i hope disney will send me some new pants each bit of footage the release i have to throw a pair away
So, I know why there are so many in atmosphere dog fights…explosions. One of the biggest complaints about the OT were the number of in space explosions. But, how fun is it to see something NOT explode! If you notice the scene when Finn’s TIE gets hit, no explosion…so, I think that’s part of it.
I am not watching anymore tv spots. I can’t. I’m seeing too much.
Things are beginning to look interesting…
Anyone figure out what the statue is on the left side of the castle shot yet? Or it’s significance. I figure that if someone broke down and analyzed every flag hanging from the entrance, someone is bound to know what that is too.
It looks like a statue of Maz.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Kylo might be the most menacing character we’ve had since Vader. I’d almost go as far as saying he’s approaching that “Nearly more menacing than Vader” but that’s going to be hard to do. I was 10 when ROTS was released and at a young age, and to this day, one of my biggest gripes with the PT is that they didn’t have 1 guy throughout that was there to the end. Some could argue that was Sidious, but I was upset they got rid of Maul so soon, instead of riding him out through the beginning of ROTS. Before all of this new footage came out, I was afraid that they would “Maul” Kylo, but after the trailer from Celebration, I’m convinced Kylo is here for the long haul!
Except that voice, more confused/creepy than menacing. Reminds me of Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. Watch the clip where Clarice knocks on his door, and you’ll see what I mean.
Great spot! Kylo looks so epic! But they had me sold at 1 TV spot and now they are on #6. Lets slow it down Disney lol. At least its not too much new footage, just cool new angles of stuff we have seen
So far I’m very pleased with how they’re rationing their spoilers – that said, I think I need to retire from this site…
While any doubt I had very early on has been erased that TFA would at least be better than the prequels, now Im curious if this can actually be on par with or, GASP, better than the OTs … Its looking so promising at this point! Im talking an actual adventure with actual emotions coming from the characters … This is a complete 180* from where I was at in say 2012/13. Yay!
finally someone who thinks it can beat the OT. love the OT to pieces.. but it’s outdated at this point, and the hard-core OT lovers are driven by nostalgia.. the OT will be hailed as a legend, but i think it’s time to pass the crown on. TFA will be awesome!
Exactly my thoughts.
If you want a non outdated version of the OT, just watch Adywans Revisited Fanedit. There’s no way the OT will be topped.
There’s no way *The Empire Strikes Back* will be topped. I wouldn’t put it past JJ to make a film genuinely better than a New Hope or Return of the Jedi. It’s not likely, but it’s certainly possible.
Ok, maybe not better than Empire, but you know what I mean … Right up there … Its just nice seeing moments of emotion coming from the characters so far in these trailers instead of a bunch of one take nervous cardboard stiffness that became the standard in the prequels.
Its new and exciting and only time will tell
A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi. It’s true. All of it.
Kylo deflecting like a boss! He certainly has the potential to be the new Darth Maul (although, Maul is still ahead …for now).
If Maul had stayed dead… I’d agree he was still pretty bad ass. However they brought him back in such a lame way for Clone Wars… I can’t respect him anymore.
So right now for me it’s Revan, OT Vader then Kylo… Yep Revan is still my favorite even though technically in my game he stopped being a Sith.
Yeah, I try to forget that Mech-Maul version also, although, even that might worked, but NOT in that way obviously. Revan is great comparison since Kylo is clearly more Revan-like than Vader-like. I guess they’re not ready to make Revan a canon so they keep on pushing that Vader-fanboy thing.
Maul did shit in the movie, GL should of used him more. He’s not much more than Boba.
I’m still not tired of seeing that X-wing chip away and then explode that TIE fighter.
that spaceship/pod racer who got blown away.. we’ve seen it on leaked arts, right?
The image you included is not the same, but I believe someone previously mentioned it might be an earlier concept of the same ship. We have seen it before however, in the first teaser. At about the 30 second mark in the top left.
Yes, yes we have 🙂
what am still trying to figure out is how the First Order always seem to find the heroes. , first they show up in that spaceport where Rey and Finn are , later they show up at Takodana. Does this mean they are tracking Finn with an implant he is not aware of ? Tracking the Falcon ? or Kylo Ren has a powerful force connection with Rey that ables him to feel her systems away ? ( witch i doubt since not even Vader could feel Luke after the battle of Yavin. )
BB-8’s dirty. I can tell…
The First Order are in pursuit of a person or object, and at first Rey/Finn merely cross their paths and decide to take a stand against the First Order once they discover their purpose in this big ole galaxy. Rey/Finn then make it their mission to pursue the same person/object as the First Order, so it is only natural that they cross paths again.
well yeagh cross paths on Jakku i can understand but how do they track them to Takodana ?
I would imagine that once they cross paths on Jakku it becomes a race to see who gets to Takodana first, or they are betrayed by a companion, or if all else fails — homing devices (used all the time in Star Wars movies).
Kylo look’s like he’s got some serious skills!!!!!!
This is forking epic, just listen to the score!
