UPDATE! Screencaps from the Second Teaser. The Force Awakens Gets a New Teaser!
We’ve been waiting for a long while, but now we’re happy to announce that the next trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has hit the internet! Make the jump to take a look at the trailer, and be sure to share your thoughts on it in the comments section!
Screencaps from the 2nd teaser:
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.
Speechless!
fantastic! took me straight back to my childhood!
I agree. ” You said it, Chewie!”
I think we can officially disregard makingstarwars.net as a legit source of info. Their prediction about what would be in this trailer was completely off. They got maybe half of it, but only in broad descriptions. The other half was completely wrong. They’re the ones originating the rumor that Luke is basically not in the movie.
Well, considering Luke is narrating the trailer that would probably indicate that he is indeed in the movie. Not to mention they’ve made a big deal about bringing Mark Hamill back for this film and it’s very hard to believe that they’d leave him out of the movie entirely. This trailer just further builds up the audience’s expectations that Luke will be in the movie. Why would they do this only to disappoint everyone? They’d be setting themselves up for huge outrage among the fans.
I think it’s safe to say at this point that Luke will indeed be in the movie.
That’s not Luke’s voice……. it’s a clever play on words used in Jedi, listen again! 🙂
What are you talking about? Of course it’s Luke’s voice.
“…Now this is podracing!”
no
1000 x better
haha
The practical effects look great!
As great as the trailer was, and it was amazing. The impression I got from it, was that it was damage control. It felt like they just threw everything that has been leaked so far in this trailer.
or is it them doing the leaking?
I would like to play you this line of thought, further dwelling into your statement. What if, all this time, all the images bar a few via drone, were actually taken by JJ Abrams request and ‘leaked’ to keep the media hyped and to keep the new film at the front pages and in the depths of our minds O.o
Ps. On a completely different trail of thought, JJ Abrams is clearly illuminati, proof? an “A” is clearly a triangle and on certain angles his glasses become triangles O.o
Im just…..wow
………WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He said the force is strong in my family, my father has it I have it my sister has it. All the rumors have been leading towards the kids being Han and Leia. Well Han isn’t strong in the force. Just a thought
but leia is…………..
I think it’s pretty clear that Luke is the narrator.
Luke is definitely the narrator, BUT if you listen closely, there is someone repeating his words verbatim. A creepy voice. Has to be Luke’s son.
Luke is not the narrator. It is Luke’s son, probably Domhnall Gleeson, and Rey is his sister. And then he’s telling Finn that he has that power too.
It is definitely Mark’s voice…why would they have someone else voice his line?
It’s obviously Mark Hamill’s voice. No denying.
It’s not Luke from ROTJ? When he says ” You’re wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you’ll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And… my sister has it. Yes. It’s you, Leia.” That’s not Luke? It just sounds exactly like Luke and says the same things as Luke said in ROTJ? So who’s the creepy voice repeating his words?
The Creepy voice sounds like a whisper/faint version of James Earl Jones’ Vader voice, even with the “chorus” effect. To me it almost sounds like Luke it talking, and the Vocoder/voice changer in the old Vader helmet is picking up Luke’s voice faintly and echoing the voice through the Vocoder. could it be Luke holding the Vader helmet while talking and the vocoder still works?
Interesting thought! The narrator is sounds like a young Luke and is reciting his lines from ROTJ though. I don’t think the person holding Vader’s helmet is Luke. I think it’s the other voice (maybe Kylo) I think we see Luke putting his hand on R2 and we see Rose handing Anakin/Luke’s saber to Leia. I keep watching this over and over and pausing and amplifying. I should probably do some work.
It looks like Vader’s helmet is on a podium. Is there part of his skull in it? I think so.
The other voice sounds like Vader in reverse… Take the audio and reverse it..
It is definitely Mark Hamill, though his voice might have been sped up slightly (raised in pitch) to avoid giving away the store. 🙂
Undoubtedly Mark Hamill’s voice, but they have de-aged his voice to make him sound like his younger self in RotJ.
i need me a De-AGEING plug-in! lol
Either that or they have taken the original dialouge from RotJ.
It is Luke, in fact the dialogue is taken straight from Return of the Jedi, in the scene on Endor when he reveals to Leia that she is his sister and Darth Vader is their father.
I think it was just some reverb dude.
No, dude. Listen with some headphones. It’s a different voice, completely. I’m a recording engineer so I know reverb when I hear it. Reverb doesn’t make things sound like a creepy, whispering voice.
You’re right, it’s not noticeable without headphones and you have to really listen but it’s there.
U R correct, headphones reveal a second voice!
I went into the sh1tter at work to watch on my phone with ear buds. 🙂
If you are recording engineer, you will notice the voice is Vader’s reversed…
It’s Vader saying “Strong in my family…” underneath Luke’s voice… Then it says, “My father has it..” in a Vader type voice…. The “I have it part..” part sounds like a young Luke…
How can it be Vaders he has no father
The echo is just some crap JJ loves to stick in his movies. Look at Star Trek 2009 where Spock Prime melds with Kirk… Just some naff echo effect.
“I’m a recording engineer”. LOL!
It’s not a 2nd person, it’s just a pitch-shifted delay with modulation and reverb, for dramatic effect.
Having a copy of Fruity Loops doesn’t qualify as being a recording engineer, champ!
Pretty sure the echo is the same voice from the first teaser trailer. Andy Serkis.
And to everyone thinking that Mark Hamill’s voice is altered, it’s not. Pretty sure it’s supposed to be one of his lines from the time period of The Force Awakens. He’s a voice actor. He takes care of his voice, and it sounds more or less the same as it always did. You can compare it to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFiEAh2Q8I8&t=22m13s
MicManGuy I’m glad to see you are thinking what I’m thinking. I think it is Andy Serkis’ voice echoing Luke’s AND I would add that maybe Andy Serkis’ character is a dark side clone of Luke, made from his hand that was severed off in Cloud City.
yes luke is the narrator, but i personally believe he is talking to his niece. i believe ridley is han and leias daughter
also when it appears to be luke handing a lightsaber over to a womans hand, i believe that to be ridleys hand, its to young to be fishers hand
No, it’s Ridley handing it to Leia
I don’t believe it is Ridley at all.
I think that is Lupita handing it onto Leia.
I think it’s Lupita. Whether is her or not, that character holding the saver (right side) is an alien character and you can see it in some leaked concept art. http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2014/10/massive-amount-of-episode-vii-concept.html
Pk I think your right Buddy I thought the same after watching that scene it makes sense To see Leia in the trailer there was plenty of shots of Daisey why wouldn’t Leia be in it too? Daisey looks perfectly cast if I might add a family resemblance to Anikens mother?
You can see the face briefly, and the hand for longer. Clearly not human. It’s “Rose”.
Maybe Jaina Solo?
Are u people still around? There is no Jaina solo
I’ve listened a few times and I can’t tell if that is Luke talking or not?
The guy doing the voice over was Luke. He’s saying “My father has it” (Anakin), “I have it” (Luke), “My sister has it” (Leia) and “you have that power too.” (Finn or Rey)
It’s probably when Rey meets Luke.
Surely if it was Luke he’d say my father had(not has) it.
Ani Lives bro. End of RotJ.
His father IS the Force.
I picked up on the ‘has’ as well. Perhaps it is Luke’s kid saying the line (My father has it = Luke, my sister has it = Rey).
I know obviously they are repeating the line from Jedi and obviously NOT redirecting darth vader, but am I the only one who was thrown off by him saying my father HAS it, not my father HAD it? Is the narration taken directly from Jedi or is it a new recording and he is just referring to his father living on in the force?
Edit: someone beat me to it ^
Yeah, he says “My father has it”. And it’s not reused from ROTJ, it’s recorded new. We’ll see what he means, but I for one am looking forward to this.
People are reading too much into nothing.
Rey is Luke daughter.
Here is an audio comparison of Luke in the trailer vs Luke in ROTJ.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DsKfb9DRH0&feature=youtu.be
If Luke was talking to his or Han’s/Leia’s kids he would have said “our family” instead of “my family” and also “your mother”. He must be speaking w/ his (future) apprentice
But he didn’t say “our family” to Leia. Maybe he is revealing to Rey that she is related to him like he did with Leia?
And why would he even mention his family being strong in the Force if he isn’t talking to a family member? Why would this person care that his family has the Force?
Or maybe it’s just added dialogue to throw us off the trail and the whisper some guy mentioned is the original audio
I truly believe that’s a ROTJ mashup.
“My father has it, my sister has it…” and then when he says “you have that power too” is from a sentence he says sometime after in the same conversation, in Endor.
I CONFIRM THAT’S RETURN OF THE JEDI SENTENCE. LISTEN AT HOW LUKE SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME: https://youtu.be/MDYX_PgorRY?t=1m33s
To those who are saying that the narrator can’t be Luke because Mark Hamill’s voice doesn’t sound like that: Mark Hamill has been a voice actor for years! He’s done voices for characters where his voice is unrecognizable to me. Plus it sounded a heck of a lot like Luke from RotJ to me.
Vader’s mask is displayed as he says “my father has it” you can even hear Vader breathing in the background! Luke is the narrator, period.
luke is talking to rey, who is probably leias daughter
You’re right IMO
GOD
I got gooosebumps and chills from watching this. When I saw the Vader helmet I was like HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Jason Ward was right about a lot :/, the whole thing gave me full body chills though, kind of upset that the planet isn’t tatooine, and the cinematography was a little unexpected
I went back and looked at the description he gave. He got more wrong than right. The things that could be considered right are vague at best. Just my opinion though…look for yourself.
Given Luke’s monologue in the trailer and the fact MSW got it wrong, there is a lot more hope now that Luke is in more than just one scene at the end.
Oh no I meant movie wise, I was listening to one of his podcasts a while back and he mentioned a crashed star destroyer, and Finn and Poe being intertwined, which was mentioned during the live feed, and Kylo being associated with the empire not a “rogue Sith” if you will
Visually this stuff is very conservative and not very exciting. But GL was one of a kind.
Exactly. JJ Abrams’s style is so conservative and often derivative. He is larger a peddler of nostalgia. Very slickly produced, but by no means inventive.
the teaser is great and finally we see han solo and chewbacca : “we are home!”
Heck we’re all home now!
Where is home? The Millenium Falcon? if so did they lose her somehow. or are they referring to a location/planet?
I find it peculiar that Han and Chewie are aboard the Falcon with weapons drawn…
It’s a selfie!
“Now to reclaim the falcon!” “Raaaawwwrrr” “…… But first, let me take a selfie” *cue selfie montage*
Who is the one narrating? Sounds like Luke
Looks like MSW got it wrong.
They got a LOT right. You see the Tie taking off in the hangar that is probably the opening scene they described. Some of you peeps are in denial but pretty much everything they have reported looks right as of now.
everything but Luke being in it for a few seconds, which I think is of course deliberate misinformation, that the guy may even be in on who knows
Home as being the Millenium Falcon? Or…?!!!???
Yeah, the Falcon. Duh. WTF else could it be, especially since we see them on the Falcon.
…Corellia?
The planet we saw was not Tatooine, so my point stands.
If you REALLY believe that’s not Tatooine then I don’t know what to say to you other than wake the F up.
JJ lied through his teeth until release day that Khan was not in ST2…and for obvious reasons. The fact that it’s Tatooine is probably really important to the storyline and to at least a couple of the characters.
He’s doing everything he can to keep the connection between “Rey”, Kylo Ren, the Skywalkers, and Tatooine a secret…and he’s right to do so. Just don’t act like it’s a fact that it’s whatever the hell he called it today cause I’d be willing to bet it’s Tatooine.
…the planet is not tatooine its called “Jakuuh” or “Jakuh” or something like that! 😉
Jakku is the planet… you are wrong
http://www.ign.com/wikis/star-wars/Jakku
Not Tatooine. Only one planet we know is revisited from the OT and PT and that is Yavin.
Rey is likely to be the daughter of Han and Leia from what we’ve heard so far. Luke is probably referring to her since he says “I have it. My sister has it. You have that power too.”
It makes sense that he is talking to his niece. Why else would he mention the connection to his sister before he said “You have it too”?
The question is whether Leia’s daughter will be a version of Jaina Solo. It seems headed that way. If her character resembles Jaina, being a Jedi and strong female protagonist, then it begs the question of whether the name will be kept even though the EU isn’t canon anymore.
I would not dismiss the possibility that the plot eventually involves a conflict between brother and sister. Remember, this is Star Wars. Family matters a lot, especially in the Skywalker line.
I would say tatooine or dantooine,again.
My sound isn’t working. Could someone tell me what the dialogue said?
Luke (via voice over):
“The force is strong in my family, My father has it, I have it, my sister has it…you have that power too.”
Han at the end:
“Chewie….we’re home.”
GO FIND SOUND! Do not settle for someone telling you over the internet.
Don’t worry, I gotcha:
Narrator:
“I sound like Luke, but I’m not. I’m younger…
I like light sabers…
The Empire is bad…
This cross guard lightsaber is scary but badass….
This movie clearly has practical effects”
Han:
“Chewie, I’m Han!”
And that’s it! Awesome, right?
The voice echo is some crap that Abrams likes to put in his movies. Just like Spocks echo when he melds with Kirk in Trek 2009.
Leia!!!!!!!
Simply epic! It looks dark – can only imagine what Episode 8 will be like. Wonder if Leia was the figure clad in black behind the legion of Storm Troopers.
This movie is going to be epic!!!!
Hell YEA 😀
it’s awesome!
Yes they’re on the Falcon. That’s fucking awesome. And Leia is going to be using the Force!!!
Kylo Ren=Luke?
No
theres a small blue light in the corner of the screen that looks like part of a lightsaber @ 1:11 and its a storm trooper holding it
I don’t think it’s a lightsaber. It looks like it’s just a light from whatever is in the background.
looks like a light on the top of their weapons to me
It’s a flashlight on top of the blaster.
Go back and watch the original teaser… It’s from the blaster.
Lens flare…
my bad I got a little excited haha
Glorious to see Han Solo for the first time since 1983.
HAN FRICKING SOLO
This is soooooooo fucking good!!!!!! and no i don’t want to be the asshole to start bout the PT and such, but come on. This is what I’ve been waiting for. It already starts with the first shot. Han says it best :”Chewie, were home”…. WOW
So… excited…. can’t….. breath….. gonna…. have heart attack….. gonna…..
SCREAMANDJUMPANDDIEANDSCREAMANDWOOPANDPASSOUTANDSCREAMANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH*inhales*WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t mind me, just crying a bit over here…
I fuckin cried! I totally felt that star wars magic like I was 12 years old. It was completely unbelievable. I love this. Wer’e home for real! The prequel era has just officaly over!
I wept as well, but er….in a manly sort of way. Oh who am I kidding. I was 5 all over again!
Oddly enough I contained myself until Chewie growled. Then I shed a few tears.
I cried. Not because of star wars or the trailer but because a 20 dropped out my pocket somewhere earlier.
Just call your man back and hook up on another. if he’s cool maybe he won’t charge you for the second bag
Shouldn’t he had said my father HAD it?……
That is what I was thinking
Nope, Anakin is a force ghost now. Hayden confirmed?
force ghost
It’s old audio taken from ROTJ.
It sound’s different though. I have watched the ROTJ along with the others so many freakin times (as a lot of you have) that I can tell this version is a new line. The pacing and inflection is slightly different.
Exactly. Also, Luke ends with “my SISTER has it” in Jedi. In this trailer, he adds another sentence (something like “you have it too”).
^^^^Also in ROTJ just watch the scene again.
Mark Hamill is a highly skilled voice actor. He has made it sound *almost* identical on purpose. Most pleasing.
The words are exactly the same but I found pace and intonation a bit different. I’d say it’s a new recording
No. They changed the pitch. Same audio.
No. New recording. The inflection is different.
I’m pretty sure It’s voice over from ROTJ when hes talking to leia
Like when they added the lightsaber SFX at the end of the first teaser. Just a throwback
NO…its new dialog and thats not even hammil….people sure are deaf
Why is this still an argument??? Skip to 1:35 and shut up… Please its getting annoying.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDYX_PgorRY
Exactly! Why is everyone baffled about the narration? Bunch of pretender Star Wars fans…
Clearly the same audio.
it’s clearly not the same audio, it’s Mark Hamill re-doing it today because the diction and phrasing are different. It’s obviously Mark Hamill in modern day re-doing the lines from Return of the Jedi…. but it is definitely not the same audio from the movie.
Anyone notice that thing speeding across the desert planet when we see the wrecked star destroyer?
That’s Robby the Robot!
Looks like Daisey’s speeder from the first trailer.
there is also a crashed XWing in this shot in front of the SD!!
And the Falcon gets chased through the wreckage of a Super Star Destroyer. One hell of a space battle happened over Jakku (Tatooine if JJ’s holding to form with his secrets)
The whole film looks amazing. Lots of nods to the past but making it fresh and new. Love everything. Looks huge in scope and emotion. Looks like it has soul. The explosion on the Star Destroyer and Kylo Ren look old school bad ass. The 8 year old inside my heart has just put his Vader pj’s on and is now playing with his original Falcon and At At.
Could be Luke’s son
The interesting thing is that design-wise it took a new directon somehow. It keeps the OT feeling, no doubt, but this seems the darkest Star Wars ever, with very wild designs like the “badass pilot”. I just love it, it’s old-school, feels new, feels PERFECT.
Still can’t believe that’s not Tatooine. Feeling stupid 😀
Yes, it does seem very dark to me. Maybe they are going to do what they did for the first Star Trek reboot.
Good guys in the lighter lighting and bad guys in the darker lighting.
Im still speechless. I feel 10 again. Wow! Frickin amazing. Ok now the 1st trailer doesnt seem so good..lol.
Thank you JJ!
First of all… this looks like a REAL MOVIE and not like a one big blue/green room filled with fake lights and 99% cgi + jar jar dump quotes.
A mixture of a real believeble world and well done cgi. I like the echo of Luke’s speech, and love to see Han in the end.
Nothing too cheesy, looks promising !!!
My biggest question is who was the leader on the balcony overlooking the stormtroopers?
My thoughts exactly. Ive been trying to zoom in and get a better peek….but, nope. Definitely looks like a man. Too tall for a woman. Not sure how i feel about the empire’s new logo though…
Unless it was Christie
Domhall?
Not Empire. First Order!
If you zoom in it it looks like some sort of general, presumably Domhall
Looks good, but damn, looks like Transformers-levels of CGI.
You realize that the Transformers movies have some of the best visual effects ever done?
Why don’t these fanboys at least pick up a copy of Cinefex instead of talking out of their asses…
I wasn’t speaking of the quality of the effects, just the sheer amount of fast moving stuff being pushed in your face. So much so that you can hardly follow what’s happening. The Transformers movies were shit BTW.
Transformers? Really? Even though I enjoyed the first film, the effects left me in complete confusion.
Wasn’t until the second time I watched it I realized when/how Jazz died.
Also: when trailers are cut together CGI is rarely shown in its finished form. Just look up trailer CGI vs movie CGI and you’ll see a distinct difference in quality.
SW7 CGI will be top of the line, guaranteed.
The “lightsaber” at 1:11 is just a laser.
LOL – MakingStarWars’ description of the trailer was totally wrong.
They nailed the vibe! Kylo-Ren looks wicked (in both senses of the word). And the scale… epic! What suprised me- both in the trailer and watching the panel- was how AMAZING BB8 looks! WOW!!!
Maybe that old childhood movie magic is back?
I like the james earl jones echoing of Luke’s dialogue in the trailer. Nice
Wut?
Just a pitch-shifted delay, dude…
Bb8 how does that work wow
i’m guessing it works based on a set of opposing magnets in the head and body… sort of like a electromagnetically launched coaster. the magnets in the body push up on the head and vice versa, it creates lift in the head just enough to push it away from the body but not enough to push it off the body as it rolls. my best guess…
As he said, yes we’re home….. At last 🙂
several have pointed this out… he says my father has it… i have it… my sister has it.. and i tend to over-analyze…but “has it”.. as in present tense… foreshadowing for an anakin return? im not saying i’m for or against that… just thought hmmm…interesting choice of words there..
Dude, what do you smoke?
Noticed same
yes but when he says
my father has it then the dv helmet is there
I have it a person (luke)lays a hand on r2
My sister has it a person (leia) get a lightsaber handet over by a girl (i bet dasiy)
and you have that power to all is black now who is the skywalker? Maybe domhnall gleeson at this point we have no idea who he is.
I don’t think that is Lke with R2 and i’m fairly sure that isn’t Leia being handed the lightsaber.
Looks more like Gleeson and Ridley.
No, it’s new dialog. In ROTJ, Luke didn’t say, ‘and you have it to.’
You are wrong. He says it before the other lines
“You’re wrong, Leia. You have that power too.”
I did as well, so either someone is trying to clone Vader or his spirit is still alive as a ghost.
Or they just decided to use ROTJ dialogue for the teaser to bridge the films together and draw in the old school fans. It was a powerful line that was full of emotion.
Exactly, and maybe they used another take of the Endor scene; that would explain the slight difference in pace and melody. Different recording but still an old one. Or an entirely new recording by Hamill. It’s impossible to know, but one thing is sure. It’s Hamill’s voice.
Man, I was watching the whole thing by my computer, but I turned it down when they were going to show the trailer. The reason is that my fiancé is longing to see this with me and she’s at work. I’ll have to wait 3 hours to see it, and I can help my self. If that is not a love proof, I don’t know what it is…
Ah! The force is with her.
We saw it a couple of hours ago… Man, my brain just stopped… I’m speechless. This will be THE MOVIE.
In the shot of Luke and R2 embers from a fire are blowing around, and the quick shot of Kylo Ren swinging the red saber seems to be happening in the same place.
looks to me like a funeral pyre. If that is indeed Luke, which the presence of R2 seems to indicate, whose funeral would that be?
I can’t believe that Faking Star Wars audio was right.
So who is touching R2 by the camp fire?!?!
I’d say THAT’S LUKE OF COURSE!
But enough embarassament with Tatooine…
With an upgraded (and skinless) robotic hand by the look of it
Nonetheless, This truly looks like the mechanic arm we see in leaked concept art, looking at Vader’s mask Hamlet’s way. And that half cyborg guy, I want to believe it’s not Luke.
Luke has been a “Cyborg”, in your use of the word, since Bespin. Why would it not be Luke? It’s also synched with the dialogue saying “I have it” and along with R2 everything in the dramaturgy points to it being Luke. Everything else is highly far fetched, even if it actually would be in the movie.
Luke
Looks like Luke has screen time after all then 🙂
Just waiting for JIMJAMBONKS to get sand in his vagina about the music in the trailer.
Huahaha!
This is literally the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life
Uuuuuuuuuuuuurg excitement overload!
Luke Skywalker’s voice has an echo in the voice of Anakin Skywalker (ROTJ voice), suggesting Luke will be hearing Anakins voice constanlty. Maybe it’s tormenting him like a mad man as suggested. Or it’s just added for effect in the teaser.
MakingStarWars.net got it totally wrong. That site’s credibility is totally shot. It was so obvious Disney were handing him fake info all that time. As if one of the most secure films ever made would be leaking like a sieve to a slapdash little amateurish site like his.
Agreed: MakingStarWars just joined SuperShadow in the Star Wars Hall of Infamy. I don’t see Jason Ward’s reputation recovering from this.
Making Star Wars got many things right. Did you not watch the panel?
Go back to your cave, Jason.
I’m still on the fence about this movie. I like getting more of the same because I know I like that already, but I would like to see more new and different as well.
I am sold on BB8 though. That droid is REALLY COOL!!! It’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Star Wars movie: different, imaginative, surprising; new yet familiar.
Fapping time
fuck off, racist troll!
Yeah, he’s a Wookie, not Chinese.
TIE fighters have white solar panels?
Probably for a snow planet.
That Chrome Trooper is SICK. And nice nod to HAMLET with the Vader helmet. Black TIES with white panels? Just friggin’ Cra-cra.
So how close is this trailer to the trailer description that this site put out last week. I`m looking back to see now to see if it was total bulls**t. That will give you some level of indication as to what to believe on this site in the future.
The number of people watching the starwars.com live stream dropped from about 80,000 to 13,000 after the trailer was shown
Two theories on why he says his father “has” it.
1) It’s his exact lines from Return of the Jedi.
2) When Luke defeated Vader, he didn’t die, he became one with the force (force ghost) so to a jedi, I’m sure Anakin still HAS the force.
excellent theory… you are right… force ghost… sorry i was totally on excitement overload and didn’t think that way..
good call!
I’ve been thinking for a while that adding Hayden in Return of the Jedi was a planned thing. I think Lucas thought about Anakin’s ghost.
You can’t from one movie to another delete the idea of force ghosts. And it’s unthinkable that Luke saw Ben’s ghost many times and all of a sudden Luke sees no force ghosts.
The present tense that Luke uses, from what I read, is because the dialogue is taken from ROTJ.
i don’t think it’s the same dialog… it could be close but if so then they added the part at the end when he tells whoever that they will have it… so it’s either a mashup or a new recorded dialog all together.
Why no poster?
Only day 1 ?
And the hand touching R2 is obviously Luke. When Luke’s voiceover says “My father has it”, we see Vader’s helmet. “I have it” we see Luke. “My sister has it” We see who we can all assume to be Leia.
completely blown away..visually stunning…just….wow!!!
Black and white Tie Fighters?
Did anyone notice the lightsaber being handed over was Anakin’s/Luke’s blue saber?
It will be interesting to see how they explain recovering it. It’s a nice image of continuity, though.
And I’m glad to see that it looks like the ESB hilt rather than the more inaccurate EP3 hilt or the subtly different ANH hilt.
I’m glad to see the Anakin/Luke prop appears to be based on the “Empire” version and built on a real or replica camera flash, instead of the idealized-machine-shop-fabricated-chromed version in episode 3.
Could that actually have been Vader’s red lightsaber? The hilts look a lot alike…
Anyone notice the Falcon is flying into a downed Star Destroyer engine! That ROCKS!
It looks more like an upside down super star destroyer
Yeah that’s my thoughts has the Super Star Destroyer engine set up.
I think the voice is the young Luke(gleeson) when he talked to his new padawan in a flashback.Maybe this student became Uber…
oooooohhhhh…..props to this thought
Nah! Probably Luke talking to his new Padawan, either Rey or Finn (most likely near the end of TFA) .
The Poe Dameron “woo hoo” at 1:07 sounds familiar
There is a bloody hand print on Finn’s (John Boyega) stormtropper helmet at 1:17. His character must have seen/done some heavy shit then decides to bug out…
Who is that standing centre stage in the background in that awesome shot of all the trooper amassed like at a Nazi rally?
New Emperor?
Darth Plagueis!
Domhnall Gleeson or Captain Phasma.
How can it be Luke? Vader is gone. So “my father has it” means his father (the narrator) is still alive. imho.
Ummm. No.
Well, being Mark Hamill’s voice plays a large part in it.
The narrating is the exact same as in ROTJ, just in changed order
The teaser runs at about a one minute and fifty seconds, just under two minutes.
Han, Leia, Artoo and Threepio.
We do see Yavin in the teaser.
We see a shot of Finn with a blue lightsaber.
There is a shot of Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), the chrome Stormtrooper, very briefly.
We do see Kylo Ren’s helmeted face.

No Serkis. = true
No Luke. = false
So 9 out of 18 and some of those were obvious generalisations most people could of guessed.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD !!!!!!!
I’m dying of nerdgasm.
In that first 10 seconds I saw everything I wanted to see: (A star destroyer) (A crashed Star Destroyer)
& oh my god that gave me the chills to hear Luke again… if only we could see him.
But I think all of us OT folks are finally appeased. TY JJ.
& Black tie fighters? 🙂
You saw his hand…
I’m absolutely speechless!
TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Anyone notice the blood on Finns helmet?
One thing (and one thing only) I don’t like about the trailer: The quick zoom-in on the Falcon as it flies into the crashed Star Destroyer exhaust. It effectively turns the camera into a character and bumps the viewer out of the action. I find it mildly annoying whenever I see it, but it really has absolutely no place in a Star Wars movie. Seeing that in the trailer is enough to keep my expectations in check, and that’s probably a good thing.
Lucas edited together documentary WW2 footage, including some gun camera footage to “previs” the space sequences in ANH. A lot of this footage has that herky/jerky handheld look. So, yes it does belong in a Star Wars movie.
When the camera’s movements just look like it’s someone plotting impossible motions in their 3D program, rather than emulating what a real camera can do, is when things start to fall apart. Look, for example, at fight scenes from the latest Superman movie. Camera zipping around even faster than the fighters. Takes you right out of it.
Yes, but then, unless I’m mistaken, Lucas replaced the WWII aerial footage with spaceships and lasers. That zoom-in thing is a directorial affectation, like J.J.’s lens flare thing. It’s his tendency to indulge in those affectations that I think gave a lot of people pause when he was announced as director. That shot in the trailer tells me that he was unable to completely abstain from that sort of stuff.
Just shut up.
Why? He’s right.
Yeah I’ve noticed old people complain about this very thing.. I think my great-great-grandfather must of flipped out when they put camera’s on tracks back in the day. And yes.. going forward, there will be new filming techniques used on all upcoming star wars movies
It was very jarring to me as well.
Not a fan of the prequels, but it was used in them, so it’s definitely Star Wars thing.
Something I loved: The shaking of the camera in the opening shot. Not a perfect panoramic. Love it!
That’s a bit nitpicky, right bruh?
While I hope we don’t get a ton of shots like that, it’s not terribly different from the shot during the Geonosis battle in AOTC where the camera does a quick zoom through the smoke at the gunship carrying Obi Wan, Anakin and Padme.
While I’m not a huge fan of AOTC overall, I thought that shot was fine, because it felt like an old news camera shot from Vietnam. IMHO, that was appropriate because a.) the gunships were loosely patterned after Vietnam-era helicopters and b.) Lucas had originally been part of Coppola’s early Apocalypse Now team and a lot of his early Star Wars concepts stemmed from that.
SO… that’s a mighty roundabout way of saying that this kind of zoom shot does have decent precedence in Star Wars. Again, as long as it’s used VERY sparingly, I think it’ll be okay.
If we get a ton of shaky-cam shots, though, I’m gonna be pissed off! ;^)
yeah keep the camera locked. shoot it old school,this isn’t the matrix. but still loved the trailer.
I guess you aren’t a fan of the Battle of Hoth then?
Anonymous, you’re absolutely right. Guys, in Hoth you have this kind of shot as well! Good point!
This sort of zoom effect was also in Attack of the Clones, during the scene where they are first flying in the gun ships. The camera does a quick zoom on the particiular gun ship the heroes are in.
Bets on the chrome trooper/pilot/badass being Gwendoline Christie.
Is Luke on Mustafar?? Sure looks like it!
Nah I don’t think so, it’s just a camp fire. Look at the backgroudn.
It’s a freaking hellish blazing inferno lol. Looks exactly like Mustafar.
Looks like Luke’s got a big ass bonfire ritual going in his cave.
Poor R2. Luke hasn’t cleaned him in 30 years.
On my first viewing I thought it was a shot of Anakin on Mustafar but now I believe it is Kylo at the earlier part of the movie when he is living a double life as the grave digger & rebel pilot. That would then give a relationship breakdown between him & Poe
THIS WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I SAW MY WHOLE LIFE
Sad life. Go outside.
“I have it” (Luke with R2 at the fire)
“My father has it” (Darth Vaders helmet)
“My sister has it” (Leia giving the saber to someone else)
So it’s pretty obvious that it’s Luke at the fire and Leia handing his lightsaber to s.b. else.
The hand that is handing over the light saber looks to be alien
No not really.
freeze frame it
The lightsaber is different that Anikins
I am pretty sure that the hand handling the lightsaber IS alien, if you freeze it you can get a glince of his/her face! definitely not human! and I bet it’s the one recieving it is Leia.
No man, just look at the screencap.
yeah.. it looks like an alien from the screen cap
That’s pretty obviously an alien hand giving Luke’s original blue lightsaber to Leia, or maybe Rey. They show this just as Luke says, “My sister has it.”
I’m soooooorry, I mean Leia is getting the saber! My bad, I’m really sorry.
I would say it’s Rey not Leia.
I don’t profess to be a skin expert but the skin looks too smooth and youthful to be Carrie Fisher.
Hand getting saber has ring
I’m 100% with you on both points. The person handing it over is short, thin, bald and has features that are not human.
The saber is being handed to Leia.
No Tatooine, the planet is called Jacu (JJ Abrams confirmed it this morning at the celebration).
That is Luke by the fire
I’ll take that bet. It’s Rey.
I would say it’s Rose handing Luke’s saber to Rey
Yes, really. Very very clearly alien. Rose I guess.
ya MSW has a lot of explaining to do regarding their sources. they were off on a lot of things regarding teaser description. also, if that person w R2 is who I think it is (who the f else can it be), MSW will also have to explain that.
i love MSW as much as anyone else, I’m just saying.
But no classic Stormtroopers, anyone else disappointed?
Uhhh, no…
Thats not Luke with R2, the arm is too thin.
Part of JJs deception.
Just like the hands of the girl recieving the lightsaber aren’t Leia’s, they are too young to be Carrie Fisher’s.
I’d love to figure out, then, who also is missing a hand, w/ a black glove over it, w/ a familiar black robe, w/ a relationship w/ R2. that’d be tremendously misleading if it’s not Luke. not a bad thing, I’d be shocked is all.
exactly!
I agree, strong similarities, maybe it is Gleeson AS Luke in a flashback, but that body is NOT Mark Hamill.
I shoulda been more specific, my apologies.
How do you figure? The prosthetic arm went all the way up to his elbow. It certainly could be Lukes arm.
ya but they seem to be in the same location as the village fire w Kylo +troopers. Maybe it’s a different location ablaze.
Also Luke could’ve gotten thinner for w/e reason. You’re right, the arm is a lil thin.
If it is Gleeson, then MSW will have been wrong about Gleeson being an Imperial. Dunno though. I’ll love to hear MSW’s explanation for some of the shots.
As I mentioned in a comment down below, with the hint of sadness in it, it might be a young Luke (Gleeson) at the Funeral Pyre of his now dead wife…
The size of the arm just doesn’t fit to me in order for me to believe that it is “present day” and not a flashback.
MSW was wrong on several things as we have seen.
It’s not a real arm, is it? It’s robotic, that is why it looks thin.
People just dont get it. If you watch ESB you clearly see Lukes arm is replaced all the way up to the elbow. So yes, its skinny because its prosthetic.
what about the robotic hand? who’s is it then?
The hands might be Billie Lourde’s, in a flashback to Leia’s training. Also, could THIS be the lightsaber adrift in space? IE, Luke retrieves his lightsaber and gives it to Leia?
Also note how Luke – and it does sound like Mark Hamill’s voice – says ‘My father HAS it.” Present tense… it could reflect Anakin’s status as a still-alive-somehow Force Ghost, but… still, intriguing!
the hand is bionic, and its the right hand.
Why, why, why do I always cry with those Star Wars trailers?! I’m really a Trekker, for God’s sake! 😉
PS: This—is—in—sane. Totally sold. Totally.
This gives me a lot of hope that Luke is in the movie more than was speculated. Could be wrong and I still think they will save him for act 3, but at least it looks like that “just in one shot” rumor is looking less likely. Seems like we see a figure that is probably Luke in at least 2 locations
MESA LOVE IT!!!!!
Well, I am sold! Looks great, very old school. I swear the shot of the crashed X wing and star destroyer looks like a matte paining as opposed to digital.
Can’t help to notice but Luke looks sad in that shot
It’s Rose’s hand. She handing it up hence her midget alien character
A-W-E-S-o-M-E teaser!!!!!
I’m speechless.
(Btw, at the very end of it, 1:52) you can see like 2-3 seconds of the new Battlefront trailer, which should be awesome too!!! 😀
OH MY GOD!
Anyone else think Finn has asthma? He seems to be very out of breath in ever scene he has been in so far lmao!
Your inhaler, you need! Im not out of breath master! Good, you will be…..you will be. *watches Finn be out of breath…..again!*
The JJ Abrams School of Acting! Everyone hyperventilates. Everyone. All the time. Nonstop.
The Abrams School of acting? How about
“The Internet School of Trolling? Hate everything, hyperbolize everything, oversensationalize everything, and don’t bother to leave your name.”
Love that an anonymous person on a SW comment feed complains that internet critics “oversensationalize” everything and don’t give their names. C’mon, have some self awareness.
perhaps that was deliberately posted ironically?
Star destroyer is slightly different. Front looks like a bow of a ship.
I noticed that too. And it looks like it may be a good bit bigger than a regular Star Destroyer as well.
Superstar destroyer
Anyone think Luke is at Han’s funeral?
Interesting. There is a hint of sadness in that scene. Luke seems to be touching R2 almost for comfort..
3po’s funeral. Luke just couldn’t take his moaning anymore, so force choked him. R2 was understandably a little upset.
If it is a flashback then maybe it is Young luke at his Wife’s funeral Pyre???
Ahhh…good point. Interesting.
If it’s a flashback my guess is outside the remains of a destroyed Jedi academy…
That flashback could explain where Kylo turned to the dark side.
His prized pupil turns to the Darkside, killing his wife and destroying the New Jedi Order before it can begin.
Jedi don’t do rumpy-pumpy!
That *wow*-moment I had been talking about, that moment I was looking for… THIS WAS THAT MOMENT!!!
WOOOOHOOOOOHOOOOO!!!
WE’RE HOME, CHEWIE!!! 😀
GUYS. Luke says, “The Force is strong in my family. My father has it…” to someone. Probably Rey. Doesn’t this give away the fact that Rey is Han and Leia’s daughter? It might not be direct, but it can be subtle. I mean if Luke said “..I have it. Your mother has it..”, that would be too much of a giveaway. I think these lines are Luke’s way of telling Rey that she’s the next great Skywalker.
My dad refers to my aunts as his sisters all the time…
That’s not my point. My point is, Rey is probably a Skywalker BECAUSE Luke mentions her right after he mentions his family. Imagine an uncle talking to his niece: “The talent is strong with the Johnsons. My father has it. I have it. My sister has it. Now you have it too.”
I think JJ has made a film better then the prequels. Just a gut feeling from watching these trailers.
I can’t stop watching this trailer
Doubtful, but that’s a matter of taste.
Yes…taste..you obviously have none
JJ could do that in his sleep!
This trailer got me marchin around work like I’m a muthaf’n stormtrooper!! I got that young kid feeling again…I’m already a fan of the force awakens..can’t wait till December!!
Is that Darth Vader’s lightsaber being handed down?
No. Darth Vader’s lightsaber had a black end piece on it. It’s most definitely Luke/Anakin’s as seen in the Empire Strikes Back.
It was Anakin/Lukes lightsaber. So yes it actually was Vaders lightsaber.
notice the sith guy behind the stormtroopers
He could be anything. I was wondering that myself. Politician, planetary governor, general, new emperor, grand vizier. Or maybe just what you said a sith. I wanna know what the flag is.
Am I the only one, who thinks the picture with all the stormtroopers standing in line looks like a scene from The Hunger Games?
But i do not care, ’cause i love this freakin teaser! Waauw!
OMG!!! i almost said that. but yes it does remind me totally of that… lol
may the force ever be in your favor!!! lmao
I love you guys but some y’all dumb as a box of bricks
It’s pretty obvious JJ is doing everything he can to keep the connection between “Rey”, Kylo Ren, the Skywalkers, and Tatooine a secret. I’m more convinced than ever that not only is that Tatooine…but Rey and Kylo are twins. Kylo is probably loosely based on Jacen’s Solo’s storyline.
JJ lied through his teeth about Khan being in ST2..and for obvious reasons. The same is true here. I’d be willing to bet on it.
No way that is Tatooine. He knows better now to not lie to fans (he said so in several interviews that it was a big mistake). If it was Tatooine he wouldn’t have said it was Jakku. He would have just remained silent.
I’ll bet you a million dollars it’s Tatooine. There is zero chance it’s not.
It ties the story into the Skywalkers which JJ is NOT ready for us to know yet. The fact he went out of his way to tell us this new “planet name” cements it in my mind. He did the exact same thing in the time leading up to Star Trek 2…he lied through his teeth to that fanbase that Khan wasn’t in the movie.
Also, the way JJ casually mentioned the name of Jaku, he said it almost apologetically, like he didn’t want to say it, because it was a lie. Then, when daisy comes out and reiterates the name, she looks over to JJ with a knowing look. Or am I imagining it?
Look at the still of the Falcon flying through the Star Destroyer’s engines….
It’s not a Mk I ISD…its a
SUPER STAR DESTROYER!!!
Either at or a Mon Cal Cruiser, just look at the engine placement.
“This Christmas” is in the Evil Dead font. Total win
Did anybody else notice that it looks like the Nazi looking scene is on a snow covered planet, or at least in the mountains?
New Marvel Star Wars comic…LANDO!!!!
http://www.starwars.com/news/lando-1-coming-in-july-from-marvel-exclusive
This looks waaaay better than the anything Lucas did in the PT….the effects are VERY, VERY good.
They cleaned up the Falcon (which looked “off” in the first teaser) and most of the other effects appear quite realistic – leaving one with the impression that TFA is indeed a modern and worthy successor to the OT.
The only thing that didn’t look good though was you-know-who Boyega. He looks very out of place in that Stormtrooper outfit. He’s the ST’s Jar Jar – no doubt about it.
Otherwise, I give this second teaser 9.5 out of 10. EXCELLENT job by Disney!!!
nobody asked for your opinion you fucking troll
Boyega the ST’s JarJar? Are you kidding? Boyega is gonna surprise everyone. He’s a fantastic actor, and has an air of gritty reality in his demeanour. There is a reason he was cast, and he will prove this when the movie comes out. Unless you’re just being racist, in which case I’m wasting my words on you.
Did you make a comparison between John Boyega and Jar-Jar?????? Whaaaaaaaaat?
The Ewoks can barely be compared to Jar-Jar, and you take Ulysses from Attack the Block and compare him to Jar-Jar?????
I jizzed a little.
Thought the shot of all the Stormtroopers looked a bit fakish. Hope that’s fixed in post – production.
A scene like that is going to look out of context without the big screen of the theatre and the loud imperial music in the background (which no doubt the scene will have in final cut).
Better than the AOTC shots, though.
If you take a screen cap at the right moment you can see an alien race is handing off the lightsaber. The face looks like it has large eyes.
Your absolutely right!
My boy JJ lying through his teeth about that planet not being Tatooine.
It’s the “Khan” situation all over again. You could see when Daisy said the supposed name of the planet that she had a smirk on her face.
Tatooine ties the Skywalker storyline together…which he doesn’t want us to figure out yet. Take it to the bank
You beat me to it. I just made the same comment about daisy a few posts up. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that!
Did they decide to make Kylo Ren look so similar to Revan on purpose or are we supposed to assume the Kylo Ren is going around obtaining powerful Sith artifacts?
One thing I’ve noticed is that we’ve seen very little of the Rebellion. The most we’ve seen is one squadron of x-wings (Please be Rogue Squadron, Please be Rogue Squadron) and the Falcon. It’s starting to feel to me (and it seems like the trailers are meant to portray this feeling) that the Empire seriously rallied back after the battle of Endor. There have been several posts on this site explaining why the loss at Endor would have been less than catastrophic for the far and away largest military force in the Galaxy. Perhaps (and its not that unlikely with all the flamethrowers and ashes present in the trailer) that we will rejoin our heroes in the Rebellion’s darkest hour. Also, the scene with the rows of stormtroopers and the Red Banner in the background (1:13) feels very Nazi Germany-ish.
who is that at 1:20 ?
So Luke is in the film for approx 8 more seconds then?
Jakoo =JK (Just Kidding)
Absolutely. Classic JJ there
It seemed empire focused. We didn`t see much of the other side if there is a rebel alliance.
Also, when we see Kylo Ren throw a hand out to presumably use the force amid flames and stormtroopers, if I’m not mistaken, that looks like a moisture vaporator in the background…. Tattoine my old friend?
It’s Tatooine…take it to the bank.
No, not Tatooine. A new planet called “Jakku”. It was released on the Live stream of JJ Abrams’ panel talk 😀
LOL…yeah and in other news Khan is NOT in Star Trek 2 according to JJ
Jakku/Jakoo =JK. He’s lying.
Luke around the fire, me and this little droid have been thro a lot
Just amazing – I love you JJ!!! (how great does Daisy look! – & the chrome trooper!)…this could be the greatest ever Star Wars movie.
Is that a downed X Wing in the first part of the trailer half buried in sand? Also the final line of the voice over is new if I’m not mistaken?
Yes! It’s all directly from ROTJ up until that last line. It was originally, “It’s you, Leia.” Now it’s “You have that power too.” (if I recall correctly.)
The last line is from RofJ too. However, it originally comes before the other lines. The order has been changed.
Thoughts:
Agree that opening is matte painting 🙂
Love the hamlet “skull”
Saber handed to Leia – the outfit convinces me of this
Believing Luke+R2 are at Han’s funeral
Kylo reminds me of masked villain in Hellboy
I believe that Finn is piloting the tie that attacks its surrounding hangar bay
What is with the leather jacket, Han?
Love that the smirk is there
Was hoping to see some grey hair on chewie
There is. Watch it again and look at Chewies left shoulder.
Chewie’s eyes look weird. Other than that, count me in. Loving what Im seeing. December can’t get here fast enough.
Ok i can totally confirm now, that it’s Luke. Just heard the german audio and its also Luke’s voice.
Are you saying that Mark speaks german and dubs his own stuff? Or that it’s Luke’s german dubber that’s been used before. Or making a joke I don’t quite get?
EPIC Trailer. I was a kid again…
Who is the person’s, during the scene with Anakin’s Light-saber?
The one handing it off is, I believe, Rose. I’ve paused and gone frame by frame and the person is short, bald, female and has non-human features. Almost cat-like. The one receiving (if narration follows) Leia. It looks like her hands to me too.
Who is this Rose? I have heard the name mentioned..
Now only to solve the mystery of the three new young cast members (Finn, Rey, Gleeson*) and there relationship with TOR characters…
Couldn’t find any
‘ll rite. Fine. Done. I’m gonna buy ALL the tickets.
So, who is that on the podium at the center inn the background at the stormtropper/nazi sceen?
Interesting comparison. Maybe in the future we`ll get to hear some commentary into the thinking behind that. It does bear some resemblance to historic real life scenes of a political rallying nature.
In the German version of the trailer they used the “original” German voice of Luke, so I assume it is meant to be Luke narrating.
I think Luke will go dark side in this new trilogy……
Probably someone pointed it out but all those Storm Troopers in front of that huge podium/stage thing, that looks like HOTH!
Incredible!! Wow!
I notice y’all are defecating in your pants, but color me a bit unimpressed with the teaser. For a film that has continually been talked about as “practical effects-laden” it looked as fake as the prequels in many scenes. In fact, the first shot of Rey speeding past the painting of that Star Destroyer is a clear reference to the shot in TPM where the camera pans right to reveal Amidala’s starship.
To those who claim Making Star Wars was wrong, what was wrong? Everything was as expected based on the rumors and reports on that site.
Seeing Han Solo again was awkward in the same sense that it was awkward to see Indiana Jones again in “Crystal Skulls”. Dameron Poe’s “Woo!” was unconvincing and another nod to an equally unconvincing “Woo”, again from TPM.
Why can’t anybody release a decent SW film anymore????
AND YET…and yet…I have a feeling I will come around after twenty or so more viewings, because for each thing I personally found jarring, there was something else that was good. Rey looks fantastic in this film, for example. Great choice looks-wise. Seeing R2 was nice.
Now I mentioned nods to TPM but I find the nods to the OT just as jarring, just to make that clear – the shots of the Falcon were reminiscent of the core reactor run of JEDI, but with an added quick zoom JJ style.
Finally I am really disappointed about the design of Kylo’s mask. And I loved the concept art of Vader’s ruined helmet, but the molten goo in the trailer looked silly rather than cool or scary or tragic.
I envy you all for being so enthusiastic about this and I wish I could feel the same. Maybe it will come in time. For now, I have gone from optimistic to skeptical to, well, not pessimistic, but fairly certain this film will not be what I selfishly would like to experience. Not that it matters. At least I’m honest about it. I feel as conflicted as Vader aboard the second Death Star. I *want* to like the hell out of it, yet find myself rigid on the fence.
Excited too, because it is after all Star Wars, but that feeling of “finally the mistakes of the prequels” will be somewhat rectified by a new set of great movies is gone, like a whimper on the wind of hope.
And if that is not Tatooine, why did they go out of their way to make it look like Tatooine? I don’t get it.
There were zero nods to TPM in the trailer I saw.
I’ll take back my comment on the “Woohoo” being a nod to TPM. It is of course a nod to Han Solo’s “woohoo” in Episode IV, not a nod to Anakin’s “yippee” in TPM. Got it confused.
But I stand by the shot of Rey zipping past Star Destroyer = similar to the shot of dewbacks grazing (on sand nonetheless) to the Queen’s starship.
It be a little hard to build a full size star destroyer
Yeah, this movie just ain’t for you. It will be nearly impossible to satisfy every fan.
I’m not giving up that easily 🙂 As I said, I need more time with the teaser. It’s such a big deal for me, these were just my initial thoughts. Seeing the shots in context will make for a hopefully much better experience.
The whole investment of time we do caring about a couple of hour movie is amazing. I really want to stay positive about it. I did it with the prequels but the films had so many problems (plot, direction, visuals…) that were difficult to handle. Nonetheless I still watch the prequels as part as the overall experience.
I just know I will like this film, I mean, it’s just VERY, VERY EASY to please me on this after the prequels.
The part with the lightsaber hand off to Leia (presumably) reminded me of her moment with Vima da Boda in the Dark Empire comics.
Seeing is believing.
Anyone else notice this doesn’t like up with anything MSW said was in the trailer?
Come on! Not a single comment has been made about what a freaking BOMBSHELL Daisy Ridley is?!
She’s damn gorgeous
In the same scene with the Nazi feel, the Banner depicts a new rendition of the Emperial Symbol. And the figures on the stage are wearing robes and cloaks, not the militaristic uniforms of Governor Tarkin’s style. could we be looking at a blend between the Sith ad Empire? Or is the new government wearing garb similar to the deceased Emperor as a propaganda scheme to rally the systems against the rebellion for killing their leader?
The scene with Artoo, you can tell it is a sad scene, the person in the hood slowly bows is head down as he is comforting Artoo…i am going to go out on a limb here and say that this is C3PO’s death scene.
watch the look on Anthony Daniels face at celebration as he explains that C3PO survived 6 episodes and did not say 7.. right now i would bet the farm thatthis is a correct assumption…i just have a huge hunch that it will be 3PO dying in this and not Han.
OK, debate solved.
The voiceover is Luke.
It is a replay of the lines from ROTJ, just the line ‘You have that power too’ comes first in ROTJ and last in this trailer.
The voiceover is a flashback connecting this story to ROTJ. The robed figure touching R2 is Leia, not Luke, that is why the arm is skinny. There must be some storyline of how Leia lost her arm just like Luke….
Agree the lines are taken from ROTJ. Not sure about Leia.
Watched it again – it’s Leia!!
hand touching r2 looks robotic
LOL,,,the lines might be taken from ROTJ but that is not the audio,,lukes voice sounds completely different in ROTJ when he says it. and that is not leia in the robe with the robotic hand…that is leia taking the lightsaber out of the aliens hand. they are showing it to her while they are on their quest to find Luke…. you can tell those are carrie fisher’s hands. Rey is a scavenger..she doesnt have nice long clean lady fingernails and wear nice clothes….
No way that is (old) Leia’s hand taking the lightsaber. Way too young looking.
Maybe its a flashback of Leia played by her daughter Lourd?
ill have to watch it again cause the hand that touched r2 looked robotic to me, maybe it was the lighting…
Could Domhnall Gleeson be the crome Stormtrooper with the cape?
Great trailer!
Why Chewbacca doesn´t gets old? Like Han Solo does.
Wookies live a really long time. He was 200 years old in ANH
When Han and Chewie showed up, out of nowhere i busted out in tears, i almost started sobbing. This was a totally unexpected emotion….i am going to be a damn mess in the theater. i will have to watch this 10 times in a row just so i will actually beable to see the whole movie. LOL
Im all about BB8. the fact that it’s a real working prop just blows me away. It was amazing seeing him/her? on the celebration simulcast.
note the rebel computer screen in the background! Def. Leia!
it may be a younger luke in a flashback but luke none the less. either way,A very emotional Teaser. with mood and tone. I am more than pleased and i thought harrison looked great! 🙂
Well, the look of Han was kinda expected. Ford is just too old to play an action hero by now, doesn’t mean that character can’t be fun anymore. Guess the old heroes are in the movie, because the whining would have been endless if they weren’t. Hopefully Han gets a good death in TFA. I still don’t give a shit, if the effects are practical or CGI. They look good.
Absolutely magnificent j j as done us proud,
I may have found something…Luke’s voice in the english version might be a decoy…
it does sound like young Hamill’s voice…but I’ve listened to other dubbed teasers, and in ALL of them the narrator is a young voice, as opposed to Han’s dubbed voice at the end…
So…the fact that “my father HAS it” and not “HAD” it, may refer to Luke, not Vader…and the narrator is actually one of Luke’s offspring.
it would be a truly mindfuck, where everybody is expecting Solo Twins and not two skywalker syblings…but all of the dubbed trailers with a young voice…and a clearly older version of luke in the film than what is the real Hamill looking nowaydays…would mean an older voice choice (such as Han’s)…
If that were the case…should I just have found this movie’s easter egg? 🙂

R2 and Luke? doesn’t that look like a funeral of some kind? Lukes head goes down, like there is sorrow…
C3PO’s funeral?
For me it looked more like a long time no see kind of thing.
inclined to think of it as a thank you for leading me here…
He is a droid doubt there would be a funeral
Just imagine what John Williams is going do with this…The trailer has a ton of heart, I’m pretty sure this episode is gonna rock pretty hard.
I think it’s stated in the Luke flashback, the narration. OR.. it’s someone else entirely. Kylo Ren/Adam Driver? The answer is in this trailer.. the words chosen, the images shown.. the lightsaber being handed off could be from Rose ro Rey.. I think there is another trailer to be shown at the Avengers. The description of the trailer, weeks back, describes a different trailer, involving Rose/Lupita. Either that was BS, or we’re about to get another trailer.
Do we think that’s Luke putting a hand on R2D2? Could it be another? Mysteriiiiies rock! SO EXCITED, regardless of who narrated.. regardless of anything.
Also.. seen the photo of Ren’s lightsaber? It looks like a saber with a relic attached to the top, sort of rigging it with tape so to speak. So many interesting tidbits. Ok, ugh, I must watch the trailer for the 5th time.
my father has it – image of the helmet (vader). I have it – that’s Luke with r2d2. my sister has it – image of a lightsaber being handed over to Leia.
Thank you! You nailed it.
and when saying his father HAS it (instead of had) it’s just because anakin is still “exists” via force ghost.
The voices echoing Luke change with each line. “The force runs strong in my family.” (Vader echoes). “My father has it.” (Luke echoes himself). “I have it” (A higher pitched, different male voice echoes), “my sister has it.” (same echo as previous one). Anyone else think this is a huge clue to another pair of separated siblings in the Skywalker/Solo clan?
Forgive me if someone else has gone over this but what if the whole Luke speech is actually done by someone else in the movie as an echo of what Luke says in Jedi. But for the trailer it is hidden.
JJ has done this in ST2 with the Spock / Kirk death speech.
So the voice is Luke’s son (Kylo) and he is talking about his father, sister (Rey) and another.
But here is an original thought. Who says in the Star Wars Universe that the wife takes the husbands surname? Is there any proof? Do they both keep the names or does he take hers? Was Luke married to Mrs Rey?
And what if that is Kylo & R2 at his mothers funeral burning which he blames on Luke for some reason? For not being strong enough to save her like the readings of Plagius and he is making the same mistakes as Anakin did? Maybe he can bring her back to balance the force again in Ep8 & Ep9?
Maybe I need to breath a bit more and stop drinking!
Did anyone else notice in the shot of Kylo Ren where he or she is using the force you can almost hear Palpatine’s screams?
Here we go, the answer you’ve all been waiting for:
The first four lines are spoken with the creepy echo voice.
The last line does not have the creepy echo voice.
What do we make of this? I propose that there is an echo on the first four lines because they are equally true for Luke and for Kylo Ren (if it is, indeed, KR echoing him).
1) “The force is strong in my family” – The Skywalker Family (for both).
2) “My father has it” – Anakin for Luke, Han for KR? (Admittedly the weakest link here; maybe “father” generally means “parent” – so it could be Leia. Or it could even be that Luke is the father of KR…? It also explains the “HAS” vs. “HAD” – KR’s father is still alive, so HAD wouldn’t make sense. Luke’s father technically has it still as a force ghost, too, as some others have already mentioned.)
3) “I have it” – Luke and KR both have it
4) “My sister has it” – Leia for Luke, Rey for KR
5) “You have that power, too.” – No echo, meaning that Luke is saying this to encourage the next Jedi in line, whereas KR wouldn’t want another to have it.
Just conjecture, of course, but I think I could be onto something here…
I am now convinced Leia is the new secret Sith Lord and her Son is her Apprentice….
That would be awesome. Maybe she had a falling out with Han, and she went bad. I hope you’re right.
My only complaint is that they didn’t pull off Chewbacca. His facial structure looked like a different wookie. That and the color scheme looked a bit too eclectic and indecisive. I’m still excited though!
Also, Dameron Poe’s line or whatever has been dubbed over with Han’s yell from ANH amirite?
When Han tells Chewie we’re home it must be in the 3rd act as you wouldn’t feel that emotional vacuum if we had just been told they weren’t with the Falcon prior to then.
Plus Chewie is on board & armed so it must be abandoned and in a threatening situation.
Since when is it going to be in IMAX 3D? I just want IMAX 2D dammit. 3D is annoying and unnecessary.
Interesting that the lightsaber handed over is Luke’s from empire strikes back. The lightsaber he lost on Bespin. That lightsaber was given to him by Obi-Wan and used to belong to Anniken before he became Darth Vader.
UR WELCOME, internet.
-JJ
I think its Luke’s son talking. The way the shots are set up. The narrator says, my father has it and it fades from Vaders melted helmet to who I assume is Luke with R2. I think thats shows its not Luke talking.
A misdirection going on in the trailer?
I’ve been thinking that same thing.
Anybody else think that planet is a familiar planet renamed Jaku?
Star destroyer in the horizon revealing something more to us possibly.
Jaku is Naboo in the future after having been hit by a huge disaster.Just a wild guess
,could be wrong.
I was wrong about Tatooine.Oh well,can’t get them all right.
Still that an awesome trailer _)
“Jaku is Naboo in the future after having been hit by a huge disaster.”
What?
The old fallen star destroyer image on the planet reminded me of the rumors of the weapon the rebels had.
Maybe that planet was a testing ground for that weapon.
I keep on doubting that idea of it not being Luke talking.
It seems most definitely to me to be Luke’s voice.Why make it complicated?
Half the rumors I’ve read on sites have been totally wrong.
Must clear my mind and forget them all .
What a fantastic trailer. Took me straight back to my childhood, and my expectations for this move just skyrocketed. Since -83 we’ve been waiting.
By the way, at about 1:27 into thee trailer, when the TIE follows the Falcon into the engine… isn’t that a crashed, turned upside down, SSD?!
My thoughts as well with regard to the super star destroyer.
I noticed that the crashed x-wing at the beginning of the teaser has the old school engines (full circle intake). The new x-wings have a half circle intake. This suggests the x-wings being flown in the teaser are an updated model.
It does seem odd that it’s the first generation TIE design that is so prevalent now when the Empire was moving toward the TIE interceptor design by ROTJ. But now we only see the original TIEs again with a new paint job. This just seems odd to me.
This is why I have often thought some of the PT fighter designs would have been better suited to this sequel trilogy instead.
Maybe the empire remnants chose to upgrade the original tie design. More of them were around, lots of spare parts..etc.
Just like any Air Force it would have many different planes that do different jobs tie fighter-fighter Jets ie f-16, tie interceptors – interceptor jets ie f-106 delta dart and tie bombers- b-2 bomber
Here it is:
That is Luke putting his hand on R2 and that is Leia being handed the lightsaber. It is obvious from the accompanying narration.
You are totally wrong here. The narration is not synched to the images – they are trying to fool you. That is not old Leia’s hand
Post a screencap that proves it’s a younger hand, then.
I LITERALLY started hyperventilating… Never seen anything like this in my life time… This is the most perfect film in history… No doubt about it… It is PERFECT!
The person giving the light saber is an alien, if you freeze frame it you can see the corner of their face. I guess it’s rose giving it to Rey
Yes yes. She’s only 3 feet tall and sanguine in color. Face like the caterpillar in Labyrinth.
There’s a lot of nostalgia in these clips. Darth Vader’s mask. Destroyed Star Destroyers and X-Wings. The Empire seems as strong as ever, while the Rebels (I’m assuming they are still Rebels since the Empire is still around) seem to look as if everything is on the line; just as it was in Episodes IV, V & VI.
I wonder if the warlord angle from the Expanded Universe is still viable? That red banner isn’t the original symbol of the Empire. Maybe somehow the Empire filled in the power vacuums pretty quickly after their defeat over Endor. At least from this trailer the Empire looks very well financed and fresh. The Kylo Ren character seems to be hunting somebody.
The Empire seems to be doing just fine with the loss of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. New troops, upgraded TIE fighters and Destroyers – a new Sith prospect to rally behind. I can’t speak upon the state of the Rebel Alliance just based on these trailers. Maybe whatever’s left of them are fighting to survive in a renewed Galactic Empire. Who’s to say otherwise?
Great to see Han Solo and Chewbacca together again. They both look pretty damn rough, I must say. I was trying to give the EU a chance until they killed Chewie. Big mistake. Can’t kill Chewbacca in a book, sorry. That extragalactic invasion story arc seemed a little farfetched even for Star Wars.
90% of me is glad that the EU has been mostly chucked, though I’m sure a few common sense elements will remain, such as Leia and/or Luke having children. It would be even more interesting if neither of them had physically created children, and the legend of the Skywalkers is continued though another manifestation of the force on Tatooine, this time for the light side – and female. The new way of telling George Lucas’ story is way more exciting and interesting than the EU stuff, and now that we can put the EU to rest officially we can ignite the imaginations of future generations of Star Wars lovers. This is about the future after all. As groundbreaking as the original trilogy was, Star Wars would have died if it weren’t for today’s advances in filming and storytelling. It’s because of the new that Episodes 1-3 were possible. The Star Wars saga can be told correctly and be a mainstay for the next 20 years.
my father has it – image of vader’s helmet . I have it – that’s Luke with r2d2. my sister has it – image of a lightsaber being handed over to Leia.
Agreed 100%.
More importantly, Luke and R2 seem to be in a place that looks just like Mustafar.
Seems to me that instead of being captured, Luke’s gone missing ’cause he’s going around the galaxy, trying to find out more about what happened to his father, and obviously Mustafar is a key place in Anakin’s story.
it’s certainly possible that it’s mustafar. artoo was there during that time so he led luke there now. that place would have been strong with the dark side with what happened there. luke might be trying to find more information. perhaps, on what exactly this “awakening” is all about. here, maybe he makes a discovery of who Kylo really is.
Hadn’t thought of that, but it’s entirely possible.
Either way, the background in that shot of Luke and R2 definitely looks like Mustafar to me.
Lens Flare anyone????
Indeed Chewie does look like he gained some pounds. Weird, because the Chewie in the recent Force For Change clip looked perfect.
Yeah, I hope they fix Chewie. His face looked cartoony and not as real as in the OT. His expression never stayed still, his eyes had an exagerated sparkle and most importantly, his face looked like that of a different individual.
Just totally, totally amazing. I LOVED THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
The voice over is from a trippy dream sequence…
You can see a little bit of the face of the alien that hands Leia(?) the lightsaber. Anyone recognize this from any concept art?
http://tinypic.com/r/3178b4k/8
Vader’s mask has Bells’ Palsy.
Now that 2min trailer IMO shits all over the Prequels.
Seeing Han and Chewie, took me back to
my childhood instantly. Rock on Tommy
Rey is Nute Gunray’s daughter
The voice over audio was taken from the cleaned up digital version of ROTJ. They rearranged the part where he says “you have that power too” and changed the pitch, added some creepy voices underneath but the audio is DEFINITELY from ROTJ.
You are right https://youtu.be/MDYX_PgorRY?t=1m33s
No, it’s new audio
It’s not new audio. Have you listen to the clip? Just compare. It’s exactly the same audio take!
Hold up a minute here, wasn’t that Luke’s lightsaber that it looked like Boyega was receiving, meaning that the rumors about Luke’s/Anakin’s lightsaber being found are more or less confirmed now?!!
Doesn’t look to me like a black hand, but in any case many scenes look like rumors and leaked concept art portrayed.
Completely blown away by this trailer! Now it’s time to break it down frame by frame!! 1:12..Death Squad Commanders / Imperial Navy Crewmen are seen to the lower left, just below the TIES. In the same shot it appears the troopers flanking the very Imperial looking officers / dignitaries on the balcony are wearing classic Sand Trooper style pauldrons. To the far right (opposite the TIES) appears to be the new troop transport / shuttle disgorging a squad of said troopers. Also note the row of Snowtroopers in single file just below the balcony. After getting my first glimpse of the Flamethrower Troopers today it looks as if they’re in the mix of this amazing still as well.
So the question now becomes: just WHO is the new Luke Skywalker for the ST?
Ridley? (plz no)
Boyega? (plz god no)
Gleeson? (fuck YEAH!)
I don’t know if someone already said this, as there are too many comments to check.
I’m French, and the translation they chose for “you have it too” is “vous avez ce don, vous aussi”. The choice of “vous” for “you” can only mean two things in French:
1. he’s speaking very respectfully to someone (as Luke did with Leia in the French version);
2. he’s speaking not to one person only, but to a plurality of people.
oh and btw, they didn’t use Luke’s original French voice for this teaser (I have no idea if the dubbing actor is still around)
Luke is from American. He does not from France. The audio is new and not from ROTJ
I wouldn’t read much into that.
Spanish is my native tongue, and the dubbed versions of all previous films are TERRIBLE.
It gets a little better with subtitled versions, but still translators get many things wrong. Guess Lucasfilm hasn’t realized that there’s many a translator that is also a big SW fan, who would NEVER get it wrong, like yours truly, haha.
In all seriousness, maybe this was the case with the French version that you speak of: a matter of an inaccurate translation.
French versions are also AWFUL, they can’t get a name right (Han becomes Ian, Chewie was a first named Chicktabba, the Death Star becomes in french the Black Star, just for a few examples). I looked ONE TIME the first trailer in french and couldn’t stand it. I would prefer a thousand times seeing a movie with original soundtrack, whatever the language is, rather than in french audio.
If you lighten up the handing off the lightsaber scene, you will see that the outfit the female is wearing is just like the blue Leia proto type artwork outfit.
Also, it is not uncommon to use other people for hand shots. They do it all the time. Also Carrie isn’t that old, she’s not 90, her hands should still look decent.
Never going to be able to sleep tonight
I just don’t get the confusion. The trailer is crystal clear:
“My father has it”= shot of Vader’s burnt mask & helmet.
“I have it”= shot of Luke’s prosthetic hand resting on R2’s dome.
“My sister has it”= shot of Leia’s hand receiving Luke/Anakin’s lightsaber.
That is no mystery. The idea here is to keep you wondering as to whom Luke is speaking to when he says “You have that power too”, not if the voice belongs to him. Even a six-year old could see this.
yea i’m done trying to explain this. people are reading too much into it. it’s blatantly obvious.
@ Darth Vedder
Thank you. It’s not even remotely close to being trigonometry.
AND I think it’s almost as clear as to whom Luke is speaking to. Hint: she’s a junker on a desert planet. Look at how the trailer is set up and how/where she is placed within it. Look at her facial expressions- especially her last shot 😉
Everyone else, You’re Welcome.
Now we’re talking, No Need To Over-think It…
My money’s on Rey being Luke’s listener too. And I’m almost 100% sure that she’s Han and Leia’s kid.
I don’t think I’m alone when I say that Daisy Ridley has more than little of Natalie Portman and a young Carrie Fisher in her.
“..I don’t think I’m alone when I say that Daisy Ridley has more than little of Natalie Portman and a young Carrie Fisher in her.”
Nope, you’re most certainly not alone in that observaton. Right now she’s looking like she grabbed her role by the throat and commanded it to be memorable and believable. It’s ON!
@ Darth Vedder
Nope. Leia isn’t receiving Luke’s saber. The hand is way too young. It’s most likely Ridley.
Which, if true, then I don’t what to think since Star Wars protagonists have always been male.
A little girl fighting big bad Kylo Ren and whomever his bigger, badder master is seems rather difficult to believe.
But I grew up in the John Wayne era….so you know.
The dynamic you’re missing, however, is that there’s a pretty good chance she’s fighting her BROTHER. So with that being said all the classic hero and John Wayne stuff goes out the window when it becomes a family thing.
If the story goes the way I’m pretty sure it’s going to go….it’s gonna be fantastic.
But it’s a common thing for the protagonist to be outmatched physically.
Just like a 5’7 Luke going up against a 6’5 cyborg.
Fisher has chubby, small hands that look exactly as the hands that grab the lightsaber.
Gonk. That is all.
Can anyone tell if that saber is definitely Luke’s first saber or just a similar hilt?
It looks identical AND they confirmed that the sound at the end of the first teaser was that lightsaber.
Anyone ever consider the idea that Adam Driver is NOT Kylo Ren? What if Kylo Ren is an introductory villain (i.e., Darth Maul), played by someone entirely different, and Driver’s villain doesn’t truly develop until events that transpire at the end of the movie….
JJ is DOING IT RIGHT!!!!
Star Destroyer Engine: PLEASE MAKE THAT A LEVEL IN A VIDEO GAME MY BRAIN EXPLODED.
Also Stormtroopers all lined up in the snow = Hunger Games 🙁
and the Stormtrooper in the front-center-right that’s looking up, and the one directly behind with their head tilted: IMPOSTERS, those are NOT normal Stormtroopers.
My bet:
Finn is the on front-center-left, who’s holding the same disciplined posture as the troopers in the background.
Rey is front-center-right, looking up at the view.
Poe is behind Ridley, clearly impatient / bored, bobbing his head to the side about to say something asinine.
Thoughts?
I am hoping they make JJ an offer he can’t refuse for episode 9. Pay this man whatever he wants. He is the best person for this job. I think letting anyone else touch these movies is a huge risk, and possibly a huge mistake. The new trailer just confirmed how much he cares about the real star wars movies.
Has anyone clarified the whispering voice below lukes? Is it just sound effects?
The shot with the stormtroopers:
Anyone else notice the mysterious figure up on the stage in the background?
There are a bunch of cloaked guys, and a few snowtroopers standing in line, but there’s ONE guy who is front/center, it looks like they just finished an empowering bad-guy speech. Freeze-framing on HD, I see a cloaked figure, not sure if their back is turned or facing forward. But their head is shiny. So either it’s Kylo Ren speaking, facing forward with his rather monotoned outfit blending into the cloak, with his mask shiny in the light
OR
It’s Chrometrooper with their back turned, and were looking at the back of their helmet.
or it’s a Third Character we’ve yet to hear of, maybe a Grand Moff. or Gleeson. That’d be interesting, if the Empire got a new emperor, but it’s a young guy, maybe the “reincarnation — 😉 ;)” of Sheev Palpatine?…
PS, I’m pretty sure the voice is Mark Hamill pulling a Galadriel.
Record the speech, and then record it again in a creepy voice.
Two tracks, one actor. I know he did the same thing w/ Darth Bane ghost in CW. – not reading too much into it, I think they just wanted to make the trailer cool.
PPS: “My father HAS it.”
What’s with the present tense??
is he referring to Hayden-ghost as being currently alive?
Anyone notice that its also coming to IMAX 3D!
Anakin Skywalker – best pilot in the Republic.
Luke Skywalker – best pilot in the alliance.
Poe – best pilot with the new alliance. Could he be an Anakin.
^Could he be Luke’s son?
Anyone else notice the snow and ion cannons in the background of the stormtrooper rally scene? Very Hoth.
Chewy Should have some prominent gray on him, in my opinion. But I loved it!
If anyone is interested Luke does say “YOU HAVE THAT POWER TOO” in ROTJ right before he tells her about Vader. 1:26 mark is where it starts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDYX_PgorRY#t=89
agreed — it was just rearranged.
1:26 mark in the video is where it starts.
Anybody realize how that Bespin Lightsaber could be actually over or up to 60 years old? Account for the 30 years between TFA and ROTJ, account for 5 years or so between VI and IV, account for 18-20 years between IV and III, and 4-5 years between III and end of II where Anakin gets a new lightsaber (the one he uses in Clone Wars and III). Anakin got his original saber cut in half in the Trade Federation factory and then gets a new lightsaber by the time he marries Padme. That lightsaber has a lot of history behind it and a lot of wear and tear lol. Interesting to find out how it managed to be salvaged after the Bespin stuff….
The line Luke uses is not a rehash or play on the line used in Rotj. It’s a snip it of a conversation in the new movie that much is clear. He is talking to someone that he has recently met that isn’t aware of the relationship they share. It’s clear that if it’s a child of Han and Leia or even a child of Luke himself, they are just meeting for the first time. Remember No one knows where Luke is at the start of the movie. He is in hiding. This has been all but confirmed. The part most are missing here is Luke’s voice is talking over what sounds like a quiet Vader voice and talks of his Father having the force in the present tense. As if he is still alive or found a way to bring him back.I belive this part of the trailer clearly is ment to hint at something more than there Seems.
Im stealing a post from The Reel Rejects but this is not the Star Wars we need, this is the Star Wars we F”n deserve!!
Guys. Two things
There’s another trailer in the works. This is the Disney “Family” trailer. Hence the punch words “Father,sister and Home” the other was not finished in time
Luke’s presence in this is VERY misleading.
Also. Two teasers to be shown Sunday at SWC of the two spin off movies. Not what we think.
Trust me
Hey guys. Not sure if you’re aware of this, but when you post anything in your stories with shots from Youtube or Instagram, the 1.4 billion people in China are unable to see it.
The solution for Youtube is to post both Youtube and Youku links (e.g. for any Chinese friends, http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XOTM1NTA2NDA0.html?from=s1.8-1-1.2 is the new trailer).. Not sure what to do about Instagram.
I know, I know… If you’re not living in China then you say “Who cares?” but just remember, it’s not easy to get out of the clutches of the Empire (PRC)
Thanks
Back to the voice…the force runs strong in my Family…it gets repeated…My father has it…it gets repeated…I have it…the other voice ONLY says I…then my sister has it…the other voice then says My sister all sketchy…its weird…Kylo ren…is speaking
I can’t tell if he is repeating my father has it or not. Could the voice be saying my mother has it? As in Leia’s son as opposed to Luke’s?
Is it bad I want a “step in the poopy” scene?
Luke’s Hand on r2 is a FLASHBACK.
I think there’s only 2 possibilities for that scene…either it’s a flashback to the moment where Kylo went bad or was kidnapped and the Jedi Academy was attacked/destroyed
or
That’s right after a certain important character dies.
if Luke dies, I riot!
It could be Han’s funeral pyre? Just like Vaders.
I’m thinking that Han and Leiai’s kids were kidnapped as children, in the falcon, and never found. Rey is one of them, as is Kylo Ren. Heck–maybe Han, Luke and Leia have not been together as a group since.
The Chrome trooper is wait for it …….. Boba Fett back to hunt down and kill Han once and for all
I’ve dropped tears when I saw Han and Chewie
Ridley looks like Portman, isn’t she?~))
I’ve thought this from the day I first heard they were going to make episode 7…and after seeing this trailer and just reconciling it all in my head….
I have zero doubt that Kylo Ren is at least loosely based on Jacen Solo.
Han and Leia had twins. One went bad (Kylo) the other turned from the path of being a Jedi once she saw what happened to her brother (“Rey”). They are now being thrown back into the same universe by the discovery of Luke’s lightsaber.
And that planet is absolutely Tatooine. Anyone who can’t see through JJ’s lies prior to the release of one of his movies didn’t follow any of the series of events leading up to Star Trek 2 when he swore Khan wasn’t in the movie.
Book it…there’s your synopsis 🙂
Cant get enough of this trailer. So good.
@ Ace
Uh…..NOPE
Wishful thinking for former EU foundations to be applied in these films is a needless and unjustified exercise in futility. If the former EU was that important or relevant to Disney’s consideration of film continuity for canonical sake, the Legends tag wouldn’t have been implemented so tightly on the saga.
Just.Let.It.Go
You’re wrong all the way around homeboy.
A) I hated the EU
B) Kylo and “Rey” are Han/Leia’s kids
The simple fact JJ is pulling a Khan and now going out of his way to say that planet isn’t Tatooine is just an attempt to keep the fans from associating “Rey” and/or Kylo to the Skywalkers….for now.
This is a continuation of the saga…and the saga is about the Skywalkers. A story about two Skywalker offspring that choose different paths makes for a great basis for a new trilogy if you ask me. It has NOTHING to do with the EU…it has to do with it making sense. And I said “loosely” based…as I don’t think we’ll see very many elements of the EU at all. That Jacen Solo story, however, just fits in too well and could be viewed by Disney as a sort of “concession” to EU readers.
As I mentioned before…I was no fan of the EU and in all honesty I never even read one of the EU novels. The only reason I know the Jacen Solo story is cause of Wookie-pedia.
“You’re wrong all the way around homeboy.”
-My bad. Didn’t realize I was talking to JJ or KK or Disney or Lucasfilm productions -_-
“A) I hated the EU”
-So what.
“B) Kylo and “Rey” are Han/Leia’s kids”
-Based on what?? Like, seriously??
“The simple fact JJ is pulling a Khan and now going out of his way to say that planet isn’t Tatooine is just an attempt to keep the fans from associating “Rey” and/or Kylo to the Skywalkers….for now.”
-Again, you know this as a FACT because…???
“This is a continuation of the saga…and the saga is about the Skywalkers. A story about two Skywalker offspring that choose different paths makes for a great basis for a new trilogy if you ask me. It has NOTHING to do with the EU…it has to do with it making sense.”
-You’re fully entitled to your opinion, however, I find it to be lacking in the face of story-group scutiny, circumstance and situation.
“And I said “loosely” based…as I don’t think we’ll see very many elements of the EU at all.”
<—Good on you. That's using the correct thinking cap ; ).
"That Jacen Solo story, however, just fits in too well and could be viewed by Disney as a sort of “concession” to EU readers."
<— Merely equates to wishful thinking ; ) . Not saying that it's not a sound consideration, but that doesn't make it a SOUND reality.
"The only reason I know the Jacen Solo story is cause of Wookie-pedia."
-In Yoda's immortal voice: That is why your ENTIRE post FAILS. You're stuck on some EU elements.
NEWS FLASH – "Legends"
You must UNLEARN what you have learned ; )
At 8 yrs old in 1977, Star Wars was my electronic babysitter for most of the summer. I went back and back and back.
This trailer gave me an electrically charged flood of emotion. My colleagues at ILM sure did their jobs well, now lets hope everything else falls into place.
Absolutely love the Kubrikesque long pan across the desert. Great to be able to inhale the visuals, reflect, exhale slowly and fly through this stunningly rich visual tapestry.
Smokin’ trailer 😉
-flek
Agree…it was one of the better trailers I’ve seen in a while. This move looks NOTHING like the Prequels, which is a fantastic thing.
The Luke speaking part sounds funky becuase its from a hologram. He left the message in R2 who was sent to find Finn. They said it at the celebration today.
Yeah he does say “and you have it to” in Jedi. But the way the dialogue sounds in the trailer he sounds so young! it’s hard to tell! We need someone to do a side by side comparison.
Gleeson could be anyone at this point! So cool there is so much mystery still to this film.
Lets not forget mark hamils big ass beard he grew! Surely that wasn’t him going through a hipster phase.
Lol at Finn having asthma hahaha every shot of him so far hes out of breath panicking. Good call.
Also I’m glad I’m not the only one who wept. I couldn’t help it I had to hide it from my gf who watched it. It’s that music over the trailer (the force theme) gets me every time.
Not sure if already mentioned, but female receiving the light sabre seems to be wearing very similar clothes to the leaked Leia costume design.
Allow an old fanboy to grasp at straws here.
Body posture is very important in defining a character. Revenge of the Sith ruined my last image of Darth Vader by having him cross his arms across his chest while gazing at the Emperor’s Folly. Vader never did that in the OT, choosing instead to tuck his thumbs under his belt when standing still. It was kind of a statement, saying “i’m resting right now, but i’ll still kill you”. Crossing his arms was totally out of character, and also could accidentally switch off the buttons on his life support chest plate.
Now, take a good look at the silver, maybe what they are calling The Flame Trooper. Notice how he is holding his gun? Reminds me of a certain bounty hunter that is supposed to be digesting in the Great Pit of Carkoon.
I get the gist of what you say about Vader, but if killing him was as easy as pressing a button on his chest someone would have done it by now (then), even if there had been a long line of tried-and-failed’s. I assume he had a swipe to unlock, and/or password (this is sarcasm, humour, joke, but no doubt will be taken seriously). As for the trailer, even my other half says it’s style reminded her of the 70s/80s Star Wars films, and she’s no geek/fan.
i’m betting the hand reaching out to r2 is lukes and the scene is set as a funeral pyre
Unfortunately I haven’t been catched by the hype train yet, probably I am one of the few disappointed by this trailer.
1) Kylo Ren is bland and uninspired both as a concept design and as a character. Very EU, almost fan fiction.
2) The new empire style is so videogamish, somehow it resembles Killzone 2 …
3) A part from the “real prop – real set” propaganda, many shoots seems fakes, more than PT is you ask me: the star destroyer in the opening shot, kylo ren face shot, stormtroopers shot, star destroyer in space, etc…
4) The overall design lacks tremendously of originality and personality: the new stormtroppers, the chrome tropper, kylo ren, the new star destroyer in space, the black / white and chrome tie fighter..
I only like the ball droid.
5) I really do not see how all this 3 new characters will fit into the skywalker saga.
I fear that this TFA will be more Rebel than Clone Wars in aproach, if you understand what I means here.
My hype and expectation are very low, probably for the better.
Seriously? Your reference to the PT showed your true colors right off the bat. Your a PT defender and only by critisizing everything TFA can you feel good about yourself.
The trailer to 99.9% of the people was amazing. You didnt get it. So be it. Maybe you should go to the Terminator or Jurassic World sites and follow those movies since this movie obviously wont be enjoyable for you.
So what if KyloHate is a PT fan? At least Lucas wasn’t making a desperate attempt at rehashing the “spirit, look & feel” of the OT in the prequels. He took a chance to present something new and fresh. Not his fault that so many failed to share his vision.
99.9 percent of the people also found EACH trailer for EACH of the prequels amazing. Why some things looked even better in the PT trailers than in both TFA teasers.
Nothing about Kylo Ren strikes fear or awe in the brief glimpses of him that we’ve seen so far. In contrast, Darth Maul was mind-blowing in every single shot of him that we saw in the TPM trailers. And the CGI we’ve seen so far looks exactly as the CGI in the PT to me. Now, whether that’s a good or bad thing it’s up to each person’s personal taste.
I also have low expectations for the film, and that has nothing to do with my being a fan of the OT, of the PT, of the EU, or of SW in general. I’m simply NO fan of one Mr. J.J. Abrams.
The only reason I’m excited for this film is because it’s Star Wars. I’m hoping Mr. Abrams will leave me pleasantly surprised . . . for a change. But I certainly won’t walk into the theater expecting TFA to blow me away, any more than I was blown away by TPM, AotC or RotS.
I couldn’t agree more with KyloHate. It’s better to keep expectations low, rather than be seriously let down by another entertaining, but not memorable effort by J.J. Abrams.
Oh shutup! Just be happy Star Wars is happening. If it doesn’t fit your criteria, simply disregard it. Don’t ruin this movie for all of the fans dieing to see another lightsaber on screen.
(Haven’t read all the reactions, so maybe I’m asking something that someone else already asked) Is it just me, or does the thing Rey has in front of her look like a lightsaber crystal? Don’t know what else it could be…
For those who bash MSW for a inaccurate trailer description does not mean you can debunk everything they post…I mean look at this article of the imax sequence which we actually see in this trailer.
Cant expect all leak sources to be accurate! http://makingstarwars.net/2015/03/star-wars-the-force-awakens-meet-your-hero-rey-and-the-big-imax-sequence/
Anyone else catch the subtle Vader voiced “I have it” right after when Luke said “my father has it”?
A few months ago I argued that if the force created Anakin then it could resurrect him.We can easily made an argument that Anakin is the force..but why use Vader’s voice?
My 2 cents, to throw off the fans and make us talk.
The handing over the lightsaber is an alien….but she doesn’t appear blue. I guess another wrong prediction if this is Rose. And of course it is Luke during the narration. Remember when a group of people thought it was Benedict Cumerbatch in the first trailer. Don’t think JJ would lie about Jakks sitting right in front of Kathy Kennedy. Don’t think she would go in for lies…Just my opinion…..Also the German like propoganda scene. I looked close looked like the guy from the concept art from the winter snow planet, with the blue lightsaber and Finn and Rey. I think it’s Uber…..Serkis’ character.
But look overly tall too and same face shape.

That molten helmet looks sick, the best reference ever. But when I exclude it, it still feels a little bit out of context. Still we actually have no context at all.
Although the girl looks a believable heroine so far.
It left me even more breathless than Finn.
Can’t wait still!
Oops spell check planet Jakku
oh and didn’t mean ubers lightsaber was blue….
Here is an idea tell me what you think Jakoo is the planet that Bespin is above when Luke gets his hand cut off it falls to the planets surface(not thru space so it does not burn up) and it is collected later by the Empire. Fins outfit pictured shows him with the lightsaber so here is how that happens. Leia sends Poe on a secret mission to regain the lightsaber after she hear that the empire has it. Fin after being messed up and tring to go AWOL after the retrieving the lightsaber from the surface of Jakoo by kylo ren gets captured and placed in the brig. Poe during his mission also gets captured and put in the brig they both hatch a plan to escape with the help of bb8 and reaquire the lightsaber (kinda like R2-D2 saving our heroes form the trash compactor on the first Death Star ) that’s why I think if you watched the video feed yesterday BB-8 and R2-D2 kinda have a rivalry with each other (kinda like I Can do the same as you kinda storyline going) also kinda running along the lines of ANH where it looks like our heroes are done for but are somehow saved from their demise. Poe tells fin he has to do something before he escapes and they get the lightsaber. They then steal the tie fighter and escape the star destroyer. Not sure if they get shot down or crash but they end up on the surface of Jakoo. Rey then saves them and some how steals the lightsaber or just finds it when they are knocked out from the crash. Since she is a junker she then sells the lightsaber or trades it to ruby for the MF that Han Solo somehow lost to someone in a game of sabac. Then later ruby gives saber to Leia when she come to Jakoo for some reason. Just a thought
Sorry rose not ruby
Thanks for ripping me off.
LOL
I think Han and Lea had a fling, had a kid and then went separate ways. Han and Chewy are going to be the lovable eternal bachelors, chasing after adventures, even into their later years. Han might be “surprised” to learn he has a kid, when he meet Rae… This will be funny because Han Solo will see a lot of himself in his daughter, and be like “oh S***, she’s just like me, great…”. This will be especially funny when Finn comes into the picture…
There will be a big theme of parent and child relationships which will tie in nicely with the multi-generation movie audience. Father daughter (Han and Rae), Father son (Luke’s son who is probably played by Domhall Gleason), mother daughter (Lea and Rae)… This is perfect for Disney…
In a way, parent-star-wars-fans are being vindicated in this movie because the characters they have loved over the years and have shared with their kids are going to be super kick ass heroes in the movie and their offspring are going to be equally badass, so it will create this dialogue (even if just in the minds of older star wars fans) “see son, I am not crazy for still holding onto my star wars toys, your dad is actually cool, not a geek, and now you have a place to insert yourself into the star wars universe as well”.
Did anyone notice that the ship that is chasing the Falcon is the same ship that is blowing up the Stormtroopers in the hangar? Does it get commandeered or is that the work of the Chrometrooper?
Han’s new blaster looks bad ass
Where is Darth Plagueis
dead
Rey looks a lot like Shmi/Leia
You see, patience pays off. Thank you guys. Much more to come!
Thanks, JJ. Can I borrow 20 bucks?
Mr Lucas what are your thoughts on the recent trailer?
It looks very very well. There is lots of classical trilogy’s stuff but refurbished. It promises a lot of action and gorgeous battles.
Voice in teaser trailer is Mark Hamill’s, sure.
I don’t buy any of the other theories floated out there about the trailer, EXCEPT the echo voice. It sounds like serkis, or a different voice than lukes.
“The end result is a combination of the original recording and Hamill’s new session, the actor said.”
Just FYI on the trailer voice over, pretty sure the echo is his own and older voice. Don’t look to far into things.

The echo you all speak of is just a delay plug in with the modulation set to slow down each repeat, thereby pitching down each echo incrementally. Anyone with garage band could create that effect. I think its just for drama. That being said trailer made me thankful to be alive.
Not sure if anyone has said this as i’ve not read all the posts but has anyone noticed the striking resemblance Daisy has to Smee Skywalker? I think it’s deliberate
