New The Force Awakens Footage from Star Wars Instagram!
New footage from The Force Awakens has been posted on the official Star Wars Instagram account. Read on to have a look!
A couple of new clips from The Force Awakens in this short teaser from Star Wars.com. Including…
Finn wielding a lightsaber!!
Dayyyummmmm shit’s bout to go down!!
Also, is that new music I hear?!
YO REY I GOT SOMETHIN’ TO SAY
I love the way the light of the blade flickers on Finn. I think we are about to see a great duel in the dark, not like that one at the end of Attack of the Clones where Anakin and Dooku seem to hold a fluroescent tube while saying “look at how cool is my face when the saber goes around” rather than fighting.
The hangar duel between Anakin and Dooku is one of my favorites. I like how it’s evocative of the duel in Jedi, but still its own thing.
lmao……and THAT, is why you fail. that was one of the most ridiculous scenes in the movie.
I think he was referring to ROTS, not AOTC.
You’re not the real Bob. I’m Bob.
Says you
Exactly.
Best fight scene in Star Wars is when the Gungans fight the Battle Droids. That is what Star Wars is all about… I can’t wait to see more Gungans.
I’m confused, if you’re both Bob then who is Jay… Artoo, you know better than to trust a strange computer!
Well, this is awkward
“Gungas”
Gunja
So many Bobs in one place . . . How many of us would it take to build a lightsaber?
I wouldn’t expect a great duel, I don’t think Finn has had any training. He is probably about to get his ass handed to him.
Yup, just before Rey saves him……again.
Finn is about to get owned…and THEN Luke comes to save his ass, Kylo runs off like a scared Tusken Raider.
Everyone knows BB-8 is a Level 10 Jedi.
He may be small, but he’s got great vertical…
BB-8 is Lobot
So he is going to hold it right at the saber…. hope he doesn’t lose a hand
Yeah, I’m thinking that Finn isn’t the one to be wielding that saber. They’re trying to throw us off from Rey ending up with it, me thinks.
Even Han used it to cut open a Tauntaun. That saber’s been around.
What a hooker saber. It’s been with everybody.
Saber slutt is more like it
It is Fenn with the mechanical hand resting on R2D2, he obviously cut it off *trying* to use a lightsaber… damn incompetent British…
Fleshlightsaber.
That’s all I got.
BUT Han didn´t use it to defend AGAINST such kind of enemy
Sure he did. The enemy was cold. And death.
You really want to believe that Finn won’t be the bearer of Anakin’s lightsaber. Why?
Its not that I really want to. I just do.
What reasons do you have that he isn’t the wielder? Everything we’ve seen so far shows him using the lightsaber and holding onto it. Meanwhile, all I’ve seen Rey have is the staff.
You mean Rey taking the Staff?
Just a feeling I guess. He doesn’t look like he knows how to saber fight, based on that tease. I think he’s about to get his butt handed to him by Kylo. Then Rey is going to handle business. Just what I think. Don’t really have any real good reasons, other than he doesn’t look comfortable holding that saber. But, who knows?
Yeah, so did Luke in TESB. If there’s one thing Star Wars does well, it’s showing someone get creamed in a fight.
But he is brown skin color. The best Jedi Weapon Master was also brown skin color, the second best was green skin color. White skin color got sliced by red/black skin color – junior white skin color could only overcome red/black by making face red with fury…
Would you like a lab coat and pipe to go with that “Science Blackboard”?
Just like liquid into this chalk…
The best (most powerful) Force users (Jedi or Sith) are:
Tier One:
Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader
Emperor Palpatine
Yoda
Luke Skywalker
Count Dooku
Tier Two:
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Qui-gon Jinn
Tier Three:
Darth Maul
Mace Windu
Ventress
Tier Four:
All those other Jedis who we barely know
Lucas has stated quite clearly Luke is the most powerful. Google it. My personal opinion is that Mace is in the same tier as Yoda.
To Master Jorus:
Mace is in no way equal to Yoda. Yoda led the council for 800 years, Mace is just a member (and a really boring, bland member at that).
Palpatine can be seen as the single most successful character in Star Wars…think about it, he overthrew the centuries old Republic BY HIMSELF, he ended the millenium old Jedi order mostly BY HIMSELF, he turned the chosen one into his pet BY HIMSELF, he created the most dominant force the galaxy has ever seen – The Empire BY HIMSELF. Nobody can touch Palpatine! He even easily fought and defeated Mace WIndu and Yoda and a bunch of other Jedis in the same day while giggling and making meme faces the whole time.
The top 5 in Tier One cannot be touched. They are so far ahead of everyone else it’s ridiculous. Mace is barely Tier 3…..I see him as Tier 4 honestly.
Because we see Fine wielding a green saber in some images.
Do you have a link to any of these images please? I’ve only ever seen him with Luke’s old blue saber (that they better have a BLOODY good reason for explaining how it gets in the movie)
For me, I have a hard time believing Finn can handle a saber because everything I know so far (admittedly very little) tells me Finn doesn’t have any training or experience. From what I know, he’s a defected Stormtrooper.
At least with Rey there are hints of a possible past involving training, or possibly lineage with a powerful Jedi.
Maybe they both become Jedi- or whatever the counter would be to the “Knights of Ren”.
and that’s fine! he won’t know how to wield it! that’s why he has such a odd posture while holding it. being a jedi and being force sensitive are not mutually exclusive. you cannot be a jedi if you haven’t been trained. but you can certainly be force sensitive.
we do not have ANY evidence what so ever that either Finn or Rey is force sensitive at all. we haven’t seen either in a fight. no footage. and i’m not talking about rumors.
Breaker90 …apologies….I was trying to hit like and hit report comment by accident. Admin please ignore that report. Thanks
That’s fine! I’ve accidentally reported some people, it’s a common mistake.
He should not be so lazy and make his own
Right. Just like…Luke. Hang on a sec.
Luke did, between Empire and Jedi.
According to the synopsis at Making Star Wars, Rey ends up with it and is destined to have it. So until that’s proven wrong, I’ll go with that.
Well, since MSW tends to go back and edit their articles so they look like they were right all along have fun not being able to form an opinion based on anything other than bullshit.
I’ve been following MSW for about a year now…and they have an extremely good track record. Things that they report eventually pan out. So not sure what the hell you’re smoking.
So angry.
Okay Jason
Doesn’t she return it to Luke?
I thought Luke got his light saber back, and I figured Finn and/or Rey would likely have their own in 8.
Hopefully Rey gets a Maul style saber. 🙂
Like this… http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121119194220/starwars/images/b/b8/SateleShanLightsaber-Hope.png
MSW is so full of shit.
Because he isn’t being pushed as the main lead.
Been Alright, I tend to differ based off of the fact at Star Wars Celebration everyone on the stage being questioned basically said their life changed when they meet Finn… Not Rey, not Poe, not Luke, not Leia, not Han, they all basically said everything changes when they meet Finn.
I’m not racist but, cause he’s black.
Pedazo de imbécil.
LOL, me gusta ver que hay personas apasionadas en los arlededores
cos hes a n i g g e r you a s s h o l e
Luke did it too. Can show you pics.
Rey has Darth Plagueis staff.
Or Luke begins to train both Rey and Finn. There is going to have to be more than one Jedi this time around I think. I don’t expect this trilogy to go the way of the original, with one jedi to take on thwe entire empire…..uhhumm I mean first order.
‘I don’t expect this trilogy to go the way of the original’
Erm, have you seen a JJ Abrams movie before? The bloke hasn’t had a single original idea…
Well he is, and here is why.
Right after RotJ Han and Lea split of again and Lea ended up marrying Lando. They got back to Bespin and their son, knowing the story of Lukes/Vaders saber, searches for it there, knowing that the force is strong in his family.
If you take a closer look at the beam where he’s holding it, it looks as if they’ve been trying to cover up the lightsaber so that we can’t really identify it.
No, it doesn’t.
It doesn’t? Ok =(
It’s an homage to Luke’s classic saber stance from ESB. This one: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/6/69529/3639402-4948536257-AN147.jpg
It’s anakins lightsaber dude. No doubt. Look at the bottom.Kylo Ren is after it and finn has to protect it
The Saber Luke loses in Empire is not exactly the same as the one given to him by Obi-Wan. It has some slight modifications. The Saber Obi-Wan gives to Luke in Episode 4 is also not exactly the same as the one he takes from Anakin in Episode 3 either
you mean the prop? of course it is different….A new hope didn’t even have a 1 million dollar budget…..but you are mistaken about episode 3 and 5….sorry. they are exactly the same but they are not far off from the original prop whatsoever…
Well A new hope had a several million budget
A New Hope started shooting with an $8.5 Million budget. It went over by about $2 Million with a final production budget of $10.5 Million.
Well, technically, if you’re super careful about it, you can touch the blade of a lightsaber. It is just a forcefield containing a stream of plasma. No heat coming off of it either.
It sure looked like it was hot when Qui Gon was cutting through that blast door.
The Force field let the heat pass when it’s touch by something, or it wouldn’t make sense that it cut things… Or it means that the Force field is the thing that cut, and if so what’s the purpose of the plasma inside? Just to see in the dark? XD
Boyega looks like he wants to say, “Come on mf!”
Son of Mace Windu confirmed.
If only Mace hadn’t died 50 years earlier…
Probably, but we don’t really know that. I mean, Anakin dodged all the traffic and made it down to the city streets on Coruscant. Mace flew out of that window still screaming, so it is possible he lived. Not saying it is likely, but it could still be an open chapter.
Grandpa Mace isnt out of the question though … Finn Windu at least sounds like a Star Warsy type name
Well that was intense! Really nice, now this puts things in a semi-“orderish” way…
1) Daisy Ridley looks so beautiful, I can so visualize her holding that lightsaber.
2) Finn’s stance, combined with the fact that the only possilbe blade-wielding training he may have had in his life would have been at the First Order training facility, indicates that we will see and old fashioned, less acrobatic battle. The chills! It’s been a while since we last saw one of those, I will gladly watch another.
3) Finn is unlikely to win as Kylo has had enough time mastering the Dark side. Expect a serious ass-handing. I imagine Kylo’s unconventional saber’s design will play a decisive factor in the way the battle is going to go down, you know, make the new saber look cooler than the old-fashioned ones. Something in the lines of “Kylo turns his saber in a way that the smaller blades disarm Finn”
4) It is possible this battle never takes place, at least not all of it, maybe Rey, who is possibly trained in the ways of the Force, intervenes to save Finn’s untrained ass.
5) This looks more like a 60 min. – in battle, get the nergasm flowing for the audience etc. Ren oppening his ls in such a dramatic manner is for the fans. So I doubt this will be the decisive battle.
6) This scene will most surely be an intro for Rey using her Force abilities for the first time in the film, making her far more interesting. Expect her to be more formidable with the Force than we anticipated as it would take serious juice to even hold down Ren.
So hyped.
Finn is looking up or into the distance. I believe he is trying to catch Kylo’s attention whilst Kira, Chewie and BB8 make their escape in the Falcon.
I think Finn will be recaptured at the end of the movie and we will be left thinking Han is dead then in Ep8 Kira, Chewie & Luke will hatch a rescue mission to get Finn & the Saber from Kylo before his strength builds too much, this is where they will find Han alive.
During Han’s Ep8 captivity there will be a lot of time for a Father & Son battle of the minds between him & Kylo.
I also think that the introduction of the Knights of Ren gives us multiple enemies instead of the restrictions of the Rule of Two.
Yup. It’s not the skin color – it’s that bad mofo face!
>;B
Maybe more like a descendant of the Windu line
Finn Windu?
Finn Windu works for me.
And far better than Finn Delwood Jabberwccky.
Calrissian.
I only see three real possibilities for Finn’s last name, which almost certainly is a name we know (hence the secrecy).
It has to be either Solo, Skywalker, or Calrissian. Windu is a long shot imo.
Finn may be Han/Sana grand son???
Also Windu was a Jedi forbidden from having children and he seemed pretty high up in the order to disregard that rule.
Finn is the Grandson of Han and Sana
…And this is their daughter, Finn’s Mother…
http://movieweb.com/star-wars-new-character-shattered-empire/
Or maybe the SW Universe is so big that not all black guys are related? Just saying
That’s not the point. People think he is a Calrissian because early rumors suggested Lando’s child would be a central character…the very same rumors accurately predicted a former Stormtrooper.
Also, the fact that his name is being kept under wraps suggests it is a name we know, and we don’t have a lot of black people to choose from. Black people tend to have black parents.
I wish Mace Windu was a foul-mouth. I feel so robbed. And to think of all the Jedi-threats he could have made.
“What does master Yoda LOOK LIKE?!”
Shame.
“Does he look like a bitch?”
..what?
Yeah…I think that was supposed to say b-i-t-c-h
“Then why are you blasting him like a vhlor?”
Really? I get more of a “oh shit. I’m not ready for this,” kind of vibe.
Yep, finn looks out of his element here. He isnt even holding it correctly
WHWHHHOOOOOOAAAHHHH MMYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this a warm up for a new trailer? A man can dream… hahaha.
Definitely looks like a preview of the new full length trailer coming soon. Would be cool if it dropped on Force Friday, but JJ said it wasn’t coming until Fall. Unless he just meant Sept.
Probably just some time in September. How many people know the exact date of the first day of Autumn?
Doesn’t Fall literally mean just that; when the leaves begin falling off the trees.
First day of Autumn (for 2015) is September 23.
Technically, Fall starts September 23rd, but I doubt J.J. was being so exact. I don’t doubt that he just meant September. Seems to make sense the trailer would drop on Force Friday. This little random, out-of-nowhere tease also seems to me to contradict their marketing so far, UNLESS it is actually just a tease to get everyone hyped for the full trailer dropping very soon, like in a week.
Agreed. Seems like it’d be a little odd to have such a tiny snippet unless the trailer is dropping very soon.
No one would really call September a “summer month”. So, my money is just past midnight, Seitember 4th. The trailer drops just as the stores open on the east coast . That’d be fantastic.
Then again, I’m in Norway, so I’m S.O.L. On the midnight toy shopping anyway. 🙁
Here in Norway we often count even August as an autumn month, don’t we?
I once had an argument with an American about when “autumn” really begins. It’s not a precisely defined term, at least not as used in daily speech.
First day of Autumn is on the Autumnal Equinox: September 23. Always has been, always will be.
Definitely! Notice blockbusters say “Coming this summer” and the movie comes out in May. I doubt he meant full on Fall.
First teaser in the end of November, second in April, third (full trailer) in September. Released about 5 months apart. I’d bet on the trailer hitting very soon!
1st full trailer just about ready to drop – have you felt it?
Yeah I’ve felt it. Felt it in my pants!
wut
I can see a lens flare on Luke’s lightsaber.
Oooohhhhhhh…..
CAN’T F#$KING WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imperial March sounds amazing!
And once again, my ESB Force FX doesn’t feel so redundant! TO THE WOODS
Awesome teaser! The dialogue sounds like a different take than the lines used in the first trailer. I think I prefer this one.
I noticed that also…I’m guessing the one we heard in the first teaser was Serkis reading the lines just for the voice over. This one is probably the actual lines from the film. Just a guess…and yeah… Finn is looking awesome…I have a bad feeling he’s going to get his butt handed to him by Ren though. I am so snoked for the trailer this fall!(see what I did there?)
Agreed. Far more hushed tension in this version. More personal, as though it’s being whispered in someone’s ear.
The teaser’s take sounded a bit more ‘forced’ ahahahahaahhahahah.
Sorry.
Well that gave me a little fix until the next trailer
Why is this labeled spoiler when it’s an official release?
Because some Star Wars fans are absurd when it comes to what they consider “spoilers”. xD
Better safe than sorry. Just because it’s official doesn’t mean it’s not a spoiler. Hell, most of the movie trailers for the past decade or two have shown spoilers (some of ’em give away damned near the entire plot!)
looking at you Terminator 2… and Salvation… and Genesys…
Better safe than sorry, I guess…but if you’re going to a site called starwarsnewsnet.com…I think you’re probably ok with spoilers.
Holy moly. Sh*t just got real.
If Finn and Kylo Ren have a show-down, please tell me Finn will die a heroic death. It would be very unlikely that Finn wins
Prolly just lose an arm and then get rescued as per usual
Go in as Finn – come out as Jax! 0_o
FINN: Oh yeah! Check out my steel guns! xD
Jaxxon!!!
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jaxxon
My guess is this is when Luke comes in to save the day?
Finn is not going to die dude. Somebody will save his ass in the nick of time, or there will be an explosion or something that distracts Kylo Ren and gives Finn enough time to escape. And who says that Kylo Ren is a total badass. Abrams has already said that Ren is not a sith lord. He has built his own lightsaber and the rumor is he is pretty much self taught. Snoke is the real badass, the actual sith lord.
awesome, that music aswell
kylo is fighting Finn in the snowy forest?!?!? That boy don’t stand a chance. He dead.
Then Luke force grab his sword back and fight Kylograms
Kylograms is ma sheeeeeiiiiiit!
He’s BADASS! Looks amazing. But I’m starting to worry he really might need an inhaler, he just can’t catch that breath!
So true. Every time we see that dude he is heaving like he just force-ran from Mos Espa to Mos Eisley in less than five minutes.
Seriously, the First Order better work on their collective cardio or the Resistance will run circles around those easily-winded clowns.
Finn is out of breath for the entire movie. Every scene he is out of breath so far. Hopefully Kylo Ren cuts his head off at the end of the movie.
Cuts off his head THEN shoves a light saber down his throat.
Finn=Finnished
You need psychological help.
That’s because he has Phathsma
Finn is BADASS!!!
Cool
Woah…so that’s who Kylo Ren is fighting in the forest. Awesome.
Serkis’s voiceover is VASTLY improved compared to the first teaser, I might add. He sounds frickin’ terrifying.
According to Serkis, his voice in the first teaser was his own and completely unedited. Sounds like they touched it up a bit here
In the first trailer is more or less his raw voice and not in context of the film. This one likely is.
Which is funny, because the voice actually sounds more like Serkis here.
Oh man, I´m so pumped! I need more!
That is boss.
OMG….the music, Finn, Rey, Kylo and BB8.. bad ass
Snokes voice is a lot different
This WILL be epic!!!
Interesting…Finn is now wielding Anakin’s lightsaber. This is turning out to be quite the “Excalibur”
Superb 🙂
ALSO DAISY RIDLEY IS PREETTYYYYY 😀
She looks like Elijah Wood.
My word, she is an attractive girl.
She looks better in other teasers imo. Not much in that shoot.
Finn will have both hands cut off. Who’s with me.
Both arms and both legs but he still provocates Kylo and wants to keep fighting 😉
with a lightsaber in his mouth
It’s only a flesh wound!!
I can still fight you!
What a completely ignorant comment.
Says the Disney shill. Go mine your sheckles elsewhere.
Yawn…
The spoiler of the fight where Rey help Finn and wins Kylo seems to be true .. in fact , the whole script in which he says this fight seems true
No offense but I don’t see how Rey being in a non snowy forest and Finn and Kylo being in a snowy forest how Rey is going to help. You may know something I don’t but those backgrounds seem as night and day as Hoth and Endor.
Imperial March theme, nice.
Save your nerdgasms for the trailer.
Anyway – kill both Kylo and Finn.
I assume that’s Kyle Ren’s voice? Not bad.
I assume you have been living under a rock for the last 9 months as well
I know that’s Snoke in the first trailer, but that’s Adam Driver as Kyle Ren saying the same line.
Who is Kyle Ren?
Kylo Ren’s brother, who comes looking for vengeance after Finn kills him accidentally Jar Jar style!
It’s actually Kyle Sandilands… Google it.
Kylo after he’s had a 90210 makeover.
That is Andy Serkis.
Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
I can feel a new Trailer coming on any day now… or at least a full TV Spot.
Finns the 1 searching for luke he’s rockstar jedi gathering information on the 1st order he holds the lightsaber to damn good
wow…. just wow
Orgasmic !!
Thats just AWESOMENESS right there!
Looking good!
Starting to wonder if Finn has been trained by Luke, or his son and has been under cover as a stormtrooper. His cover gets blown and he’s forced to escape..
Oh the possibilities.
Nice,we want Finn to be main leader no rey
@Trenzy, your name reminds me of someone I know.
Trenzalord11, perchance?
Yes actually XD! Good to see you out of the MBs!
IKR! Hai Flash XD
This is very weird XD! How is everything? Also, are you on the Cantina?
XD Nope, just here unfortunately.
Well it’s good to see you here XD!
Well it’s good to see you on here XD!
I really hope the music in this tease is the First Order’s Theme based on the Imperial March…so awesome…
Cool.
FAP FAP FAP FAP
IT’S A FAP!
We be star wars now. Sheeeeiiitt.
How gorgeous is Daisy Ridley?????
God I hope this movie is good!!!
It will be. It has to be!!
Awesome!!
Finn looks to be gripping that lightsaber a little too tight and awkwardly. I’m pretty sure the rumors are true that he is going to use it to try and fight Kylo, but get his ass handed to him. Then Rey is gonna come in to save him, pick up the lightsaber, and be a total bad ass with it.
Just can’t wait for December to come!
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! finally something real
Awesome !!!
Looks awesome but i hope this is a sign of a full trailer to come very very soon!!
So excited for this. I have said since I knew about him that Finn would be my favorite character in this trilogy, and this just adds to that.
Looks great!
I really like the distinct difference between the saber activation sounds.
Damn! I sense much fear in Finn.
YES!!
Boner
Sick clip! Finn looks so dope! I have a bad feeling Kylo is gonna come close to killing Finn, with Luke and Rey possibly saving the day.
I’m also having a feeling that the scene in teaser #2 when the hand touches R2-D2, it’s Finn not Luke. What if Finn loses a hand and Luke gives R2 to Finn while he trains Rey on that Island?
As for the voices in the clip, I think one is being said by Kylo and the other Snoke. They are definitely different tones.
So Finns a jedi then cus that character is definitely wearing a jedi robe in the 2nd teaser
Could be! You gotta notice one thing if not anything else about Finn. He is on the run! He’s the only character in different attire in teasers to pictures. He’s dressed as a stormtrooper one moment, the next he’s in all black. Then he has Poe’s jacket from the wreck, now we see him with a saber instead of a gun from being a stormtrooper playing “Jedi”. Every other character is wearing the same thing in everything we’ve seen.
I think Finn is on a mission himself and it may have nothing to do with the Resistence or Luke.
Interesting theory, but the figure touching R2-D2 in teaser #2 doesn’t seem out of breath. Can’t be Finn.
Cool Joke Bro. I re-watched the OT recently and Mark Hamill makes some pretty ugly, funny, interesting faces through out the films. Mark is a down to Earth kind of actor which is why people love him. His expressions are genuine and natural which I consider good acting.
Even though we’ve only seen John Boyega outta breath or breathing heavily in most footage, you can tell he’s a genuine down to Earth guy. He roamed both D23 and Celebration among the fans and attendees which I found pretty cool.
Yeah he’s out of breath! He’s working hard to give us a fine performance as Finn. Shows he’s working his ass off to show The Force has definitely Awakened! I rather see 2-3 second videos of him breathing heavily then seeing a 3 minute trailer that gives away the entire plot of possibly the biggest movie of our lifetime!
We haven’t even heard Finn or Rey speak. I hope we don’t until the film comes out.
I dont like Finn with a saber, he doesn’t seem like the jedi type, more of a han solo type
omg
ok take my money….
Same environment and weather as our first view of Kylo. I guess there won’t be a Star Wars movie without a light sabre duel just yet! Excellent!
Darth Serkis has captured the essence of the Narrator from the Darth Plagueis audio-book! Vegas lives!!
The chills…
Awesome!
1st
Woop Woop! Soooo can’t wait to see this movie!!!!!
Holy santa claus shit
I’m starting to feel it!
We need more protagonists with crippling asthma lol
I just had an awakening in my pants after seeing this.
perfect! in every way
oooh yeah !!! good looking stuff and greats sounds/music when Kylo shows his lightsaber 🙂
Finn looks amazing!
That Blue looks wicked!!! Full trailer on Force Friday possibly?
yes i hope. looks like a trailer to a trailer
When is force friday
Someone posted it on youtube.
Not the greatest resolution, but good enough.

The end.
Good summary of some known facts and some complete made up gobaldegoop…not by you might I add
So then EP 8 is Rey and Kylo vs Luke and Finn? doesn’t seem likely to happen sorry
original though
You’ve either just done an Ashley Madison size leak, or you’ve meshed knowns and complete imagination to create an interesting story. Either way, well done.
F**k you. Just f**k you.
If you’ve made up a lot of that to fill the gaps – you’re good! You should write!
Firstly:’BB-8 presents lightsaber to Finn’. Why would BB-8 suddenly trust Finn so much with something he obviously know is valuable?
Then (later): ‘Leia introduced. Presented with Luke’s saber, gives it to Finn’
Didn’t Finn already have it then? This thing is getting lost, found and handed about all over the place!
Hmmmm
This plot outline above will honestly be better than how it actually turns out.
I love Rey going to the Knights Of Ren.
But I’m sure we’ll just get a bland hero’s journey once more. (it was great with Luke, interesting inversion with Anakin, but now it’ll be played out with Rey)
They are just basically remaking the old trilogy with Rey in the Luke spot, Kylo in the Vader spot, Snoke in The Emperor’s spot, Han in the Obi-Wan spot, Luke in the Yoda spot, Phasma in the Fett spot, Hux in the Tarkin spot, Poe in the Han spot, BB-8 in the R2 spot, and Finn in the cowardly C3PO/ Jar Jar spot.
I honestly wouldn’t mind.
Please let the full trailer drop on force Friday, Never so excited have I been.
Looks good. Curious who is the one strong with the force Rey or Finn. I do hope Rey and Finn is only using the lightsaber the same way Han used it on hoth.
Yeah, since it’s cold in the snow and Kylo’s stomach is nice and warm.
Yeah I think we’re getting the full trailer on/before Force Friday.
Woweeeee finn looks so badaas cant wait to see this movie!!!!
So short. So sweet.
To me, Finn looks scared. I thought there was a rumor Rey and Finn would be trapped in some cave or area where they had to interact with just each other for a night. To survive or something along those lines. If that’s the case, this could just be Finn wielding the Lightsaber as his last resort as no other weapon is available. He might not even be facing anybody, could just be scared and hearing noise or something. The Lightsaber brings both light and a weapon of some kind.
I am not against Finn being a Jedi, but to go from Storm Trooper at the start of the film to Light saber wielding bad ass by the end seems wrong. Its makes more sense to me that he happens to just use it out of necessity here.
Luke Skywalker went from whining farmboy to destroying the Death Star in what, a couple of hours.
He was a farm boy with excellent piloting skills. That was established. His use of the force at the end one could say was minimal in guiding the torpedo into the exhaust port or not even that, using the will of the force to make the correct shot. He wasn’t wielding a light saber looking to fight anything. Or trained really at all by that point.
And TFA can establish that Finn has excellent hand to hand coordination, a driver’s license and inherited the Jedi Library from his uncle Mace
Basically we don’t know shit. Obviously I was assuming that Finn is a Storm Trooper who has visions or sees something that causes him to flee the First Order. Going off this one scene of him wielding a light saber people can assume all kinds of stuff and are doing so. I was only offering up another theory that doesn’t include him being a force using bad ass.
Luke has the Skywalker bloodline, therefore he is genetically gifted with one of the highest midi-chlorian counts ever. That’s why.
You can see that Finn has the same immature flare of motivated anger in his eyes that Luke had on Bespin during his battle with Vader!
I don’t think Finn is a stormtrooper. I’m thinking it’s a disguise to get off the star destroyer he’s held captive on, just like the dude predicted earlier. I think Finn is some sort of cheap cowardly scoundrel. Every shot of him we’ve seen he’s panicking or scared. That’s not attitude of a stormtrooper
Finn seems to be a coward.
Absolutely every single clip and trailer we have seen for this film so far has been AMAZING IMO…but I am curious to hear some dialogue from Rey and Finn. Mainly because I want to hear their American accents that they will undoubtedly adopt for the film. Not that the heroes have to sound American, but aside from Obi-Wan, every hero so far in the saga has used the American English dialect, whereas the British accent seems more reserved for Imperials. Maybe we will hear them speak in the first full trailer. 🙂
So, either there is a time jump in the middle of the film where Finn trains his butt off (via montage perhaps), or he was already trained in the Jedi arts but gave it up and became a stormtrooper. Or maybe he was just undercover as a stormtrooper.
Either way, this all looks awesome!!!
Or he is in the middle of the forest at night, can’t see and has a both a weapon and a light source.
And a source for heat =)
Maybe he can hunt for food with it too.
And build a cosy little cabin =)
Or maybe Finn isn’t a Jedi. Perhaps the only weapon he had for awhile was a lightsaber….
Or he just knows the shinny bit goes into the other person. It doesn’t take training to use a saber, only to use it well.
As a trooper they may have trained him to use his riffle as a blunt object if necessary, so he may have some understanding of how a sword-like object can be used. They may have even trained him with staves or batons or something, like the royal guard.
Or he is challenging Klyo Ren for control of the first order. He was assigned a secret mission to get the lightsaber off Rey, steals it realizes that he has Vader’s original lightsaber (come on he killed kids with it) decides he wants to rule the galaxy, fights Ren joins the dark side with the help of snoke and over the next two movies we wait for rey and finn to fight it out it an awesome duel.
Classic Trilogy: The last remnants of the Old Republic were being swept away…only to return. / Sequel Trilogy: The last remnants of the Old Empire are being swept away…only to return.
AMAZING! Boyega looks sick!
Hence the gasping.
So pumped
“THERE HAS BEEN AN AWAKENING” sounds different mmm…
I think Finn is Luke Skywalker’s son.
Nope.
Unless Luke and Lando Calrissian got together that is not even possible.
YES!
You are dumb
I have never been so HYPED by a god damn movie!!!
I felt it.
I felt it too. :*
lol, stop that
I have mixed feelings about Finn..
My Force!
Great teaser
It looks good. That shot of Finn looks pretty much like the early leaked concept art, lighting-wise. I’m sure the actor is going to do a fantastic job with the role.
I don’t like the new version of the dialogue, the one in the first teaser was much more death metal, which is always better than everything else.
Also, I really enjoyed the lightsabers matching the rhythm of the (excellent) bit of music we got.
BUT, Mr. Abrams. This is not enough. Me want moar. Me want moar NOW!!!
Whoops, sorry to throw an Anakin.
Attack the Sith
*Knight of Ren.
Revan vs Finn – Revan will beat the * out of him!
Not Revan.
Boner saber ignited!!!
There MUST be a proper trailer inbound very soon to promote Force Friday. If so I imagine it might be out tomorrow to let a week of hype build up.
I hope everyone’s ready to film their reaction videos! So much entertainment value seeing other passionate fans react to brand new footage and info!
Seeing Finn with the saber, and the small clip of Rey really got me excited all over again!
Well, if they unleash a full trailer for Force Friday, they may very well release it on Wednesday evening September 2nd because that is when the LIVE STREAM of the GLOBAL TOY UNBOXING EVENT will begin Australia. And they said they will be showing trailers for the new film inbetween the toys being unboxed.
When did they say that?
That’s Hayden Christensen’s lightsaber!
I know this is off topic but in the behind the scenes footage, is Leia talking to Kylo at Greenham? Sorry if I been hiding under a rock
Finn’s got the same immature flare of motivated anger in his eyes that Luke had on Bespin during his battle with Vader! He may not be a Jedi Knight yet, but I’m sure we’ll see his power in the Force grow throughout the trilogy.
Just… Brilliant!!!
Epic moment sith vs jedaj
Oh hell yeeeeeeeeah!
that damm light saber sound when finn lights it up just made my day!!!!!!!!
all aboard the hype train!
Finn is new mace windu
God, I hope not. Mace Windu was so lame. I’d rather he be something interesting at least
Ok, so … not only is a lightsaber battle in the snow awesome, but a lightsaber battle in the FOREST … so, yeah …. I suspect we will see quite a few sliced trees / falling trees through this sequence … perhaps getting trapped under one, etc. Could be a killer scene with lots of fun possibilities.
Damn, dude, you just pumped me more. I’m in danger of getting over-pumped over here.
Forest planet!
I’m starting to have a bad suspicion that this movie might fall flat.
If that happens, I’m finally done with Star Wars.
Good story dude
Finn looks BA. What’s up with the extra ring of blue just above his hand though? That’s not what Luke’s saber looked like. Can’t wait!
I think the question, if Daisy can act, has been answered in one short shot. Nice!
I work in the film industry. Just from this teaser — the cinematography is light years ahead of the prequels. Most notably, there are a lot more close-up individual shots — because there seems to be more of a focus on actor reactions. #hopeful
What, as a caterer? “The cinematography is lighyears ahead because it has closeups…in this teaser.” Just….fuck me.
I worked as a fluffer with your momma.
Did she say “blast me” too?
Women don’t have fluffers– clearly you’ve never jerked a guy off on set HAHA jokes on you!
Something tells me this is a tease for an official trailer that could be coming sooner than we know it…..
this actually convinced me of John Boyega’s casting. looking forward for this. damn. this duel just got awesome
Hopefully Finn dies and kylo takes possession of the lightsaber
Why do you want Finn to die?
Why do you care so much?
The official site says:
“AND YOU THOUGHT THE SCENES ON HOTH WERE AWESOME.”
Do you think they mean the scenes on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back? Or do you think they just confirmed that the cold, snow-filled planet shown in the previous “The Force Awakens” trailers is HOTH?
http://www.starwars.com/news/video-of-star-wars-the-force-awakens-appear-on-instagram
Since Finn is still wearing Poe’s flight jacket during this climactic scene, and Rey is always seen wearing Jakku garb, is it safe to assume that the film takes place over 1-2 days?
Well all the films pretty much do. A New Hope is maybe over the space of 2-3 days max. Empire the same, and RoTJ also. They’re very condensed stories that flow from one scene to the next. They’re not like a typical movie that can span weeks, months or even years of storyline, which is probably one more thing that encapsulates what a Star Wars film should be and how they function. Knowing we’re working with a trilogy of films it allows those scenes of development to happen off camera, to be hinted at via dialogue and obvious character progression. I mean all it takes is seeing Luke in tatters at the end of Empire, to seeing him suddenly a confident force user merely by the way he looks and acts the instant you see him in RoTJ to do all the storytelling you need as to what has occurred between.
i thought Empire took place over a longer period the a few days u know, i mean Luke is longer on Dagobah then 2-3 days.
I always assumed Luke was on Dagobah for quite some time, likely several weeks. Are there any official timelines for Episodes IV – VI out there somewhere?
It is safe to say Star Wars doesn’t give a shit on apparel.
Anakin Skywalker was brought to the jedi temple in his slave robes. He even goes to battle in those damn robes and destroys a mothership. While Amidala was having her meetings in Coruscant, QuiGon could have brought him at H&M Coruscant or whatever. But no.
“There’s something about this boy”
Yeah: he needs to change clothes!
You people crack me up. The full length trailer is probably still coming out in October.
Awesome little tease. The more I see of Finn wielding a lightsaber, the greater the belief that he is no Jedi. He looks very uncomfortable with it, it’s destined for Rey.
Rey is definitely from the Skywalker bloodline, whether she’s Han’s or Luke’s daughter I’m no longer sure.
She’s Luke’s and Leia’s daughter. Because screw morals.
lol no
We have been watching Daisy and John laughing and giggling with excitement during interviews, to see them in a more serious light in this little snippet gives me the impression that these guys really are actors in the most serious sense.
Better than that, they’ve actually been directed well and filmed in interesting ways. Something Lucas mostly forgot about in the prequels. Indeed I think the only dud actors he got were for the two friggin’ most important roles, young Anakin and older Anakin, lol. His cast were tremendous, but given so little to work with, poor scripts, and terrible direction, so they all came across a a bit hopeless. Qui Gon and the actress who played Anakin’s mother were two bright shining beacons in Ep.1. The Emperor also. We had Ewan Macgregor, we had Christopher Lee (immensely evil in LotR, but a bit unthreatening in Star Wars), Natalie Portman, all fantastic actors, given nothing to work with. The shot of Rey in this teaser, the shot of Finn readying up for battle, just look so full of emotion, plus they’re bad ass as hell. Cannot wait for this film!
A “bit” unthreatening? Count Dooku is as menacing as a giggling baby, freshly powdered.
Such an underwritten role, its almost hilarious.
Count Dooku was supposed to be low key, and “elegant,” …that was his character.
He fought Yoda, Anakin The Choosen One, and Obi-wan at the same time (!!) and didn’t even break a sweat (while easily beating them all)
Outside of the big four, Dooku was the most powerful force user ever.
But yes, in the films he’s somewhat underwritten because Lucas isn’t a great writer of screenplays honestly
FFS! John Boyega heavy breathing again! Every fricken trailer, I hope he gets killed off!
Yeah because the first scene we saw him in, he just got shot down, the second, a tie was chasing him, and now a third scene in which he’s about to face off in a lightsaber duel. Who wouldn’t be breathing heavy? Watch the Indy movies and see how much heavy breathing Harrison Ford does.
Not gonna happen. Series protagonist. Guy is supposed to be the new Luke. Or Leia, if you know what I mean.
Heavy breathing is something wrong in a SW film…
wat’dafukusay?
Disclaimer: I’m not mocking JB here, I’m talking me, right now, I am legitimately asking wat’dafuk is wrong with heavy breathing.
It’s his nose, he has sinus issues
Just a little nugget I thought of…(although he could be completely unlearned and this stance could just feel natural for him) from Boyega’s stance, it seems that he is using the opening stance of the Ataru (Form IV) lightsaber combat form. It can be noted that Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn were practitioners of this style. Obi-Wan was also, but his opening stance was a little different and changed from film to film. It’s possible that Luke also practices this form and taught the combat style to Finn. His pose here definitely reminds me of the close-up shots of Qui-Gon before facing Maul on Naboo and Yoda getting ready to take on Palpatine. So frickin’ excited…
Good point. Finn looks too badass in that pose.
Actually it reminds me of the pose I use when playing with my toys.
I have this weird propensity to hold it REAL close to the blade – sometimes, like, on the emitter jacket.
I have to say, overall I’m starting to like the image of Finn+Lightsaber. Not only in this footage but in the wall art we saw yesterday.
That actually gave me tingles down the spine.
I hope the film is as good as it seems to be.
Finn is a warrior. The packaging copy related to his character on all his hasbro leaks describe him as a warrior. Maybe he was a badass on his planet before he became a storm trooper and he is competent with a sword. Like the way Luke is called a great pilot. We just accept it but they never show it till the end.
Can anyone think of a scenario that would put Han and Leia’s daughter abandoned on Jakku?
You assume she was abandoned. She could have run away. I don’t know why but assuming she was abandoned does seem odd. Perhaps she was separated as Luke and Leia and her caretaker died long ago. Just saying there are other scenarios that could lead to this outcome. She doesn’t seem to have the fear in her that Finn has. The look on her face is more I just saw that happen, didn’t expect that. Instead of, oh crap look at that, run…
Did anyone else notice that the voice-over is from a different speaker now? It definitely doesn’t sound like Andy Serkis in this video. Could it be Max von Sydow?
It’s Andy Serkis. The VO in the first trailer was not the final take that went into the movie. What you’re hearing is the actual take.
I think I need to poop
Well your poop needs to think.
Best. Comment. Ever.
so just after watching this trailer and does anyone else think it sounds like a different person saying “have you felt it” than in the 1st teaser trailer?
No duh. You’d have to be an idiot to not notice that.
Sorry ANONYMOUS for trying to open up a bit of discussion on the trailer to find out other peoples views on the voice over. Id rather leave an open question than leave an obnoxious comment.
If you have nothing constructive to say ANONYMOUS then say nothing at all. 🙂
You had nothing constructive to say when you said something obvious. Try opening with. “Huh, different voice recording. I wonder what that’s about.”
It’s Andy Serkis. It’s just a different take and with sound production…and probably the one that’s actually in the film
If you expect to get a reasonable response from a comment section, you kind of have the responsibility to read all the comments before yours. The fact that voice-over sounds different than the first teaser has been brought up a lot. Late to the party much?
Yeah, it sounds very different, definitely the same guy, but either a different take or less modulated. In the first teaser it sounded triumphant, now it gives me more the vibe or a secret whisper.
Rey looking up at an incoming Star Destroyer?
Rey looking at the blast that is about to destroy Maz Kanata’s castle
Rey is looking up at Jar Jar ‘parachuting in’!
Well, that was 15 seconds of pure AWESOME!!!
That’s what she said.
…wait
Ok now that the excitement of seeing a brief new piece of footage, I’m really starting to get tired that J.J keeps insisting on showing our new hero, a black man, as always sweating, panting, and out of breath. Come on J.J. Enough already. It’s bordering on offensive.
What, Abrams must’ve kept yelling “Faster, more intense!” at Boyega.
You’re right! Black people are robots!
Your comment is borderline offensive. If you weren’t racist, you wouldn’t have to call out Finn’s skin color when you refer to him. Unless you call out everybody’s skin color at all times, try not to do it occasionally just because you like to stir up something. How about this: JJ cuts together TEASERS that are full of the most exciting, intense and dramatic moments in order to TEASE you for his upcoming film. You’d be happy if Finn yawned and looked at his lightsaber as he fumbles around to find the ON switch? Shheesh!
It is odd that we’ve yet to see JB taking chill-time. Rey has had some calm shots, Poe had a “woohoo” shot.
JB’s always running or in fear of his life.
I guess he has a lot on his plate…
Why offensive? Are you saying that after getting shot down, being chased by stormtroopers and TIE fighters, or running through a forest to kick off with Kylo Ren, then he wouldn’t be out of breath because he’s black? I’m white, but if I had to put up with that shit then I’d be reaching for the goddam ventilator!
Yes, he is panting in every scene – but that’s just because of the scenes JJ has chosen to show us. Tense, dramatic, suspenseful scenes to showcase the movie, (and the acting quality of his cast).
So, as JB himself said: ‘Get used to it.’
Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV Spot – New Villains, Old Heroes (fan-made, but awesome)
https://youtu.be/8ll7L2veFjY
Sweet Jesus, Mark! That edit made old footage look like new footage! xD
Thanks for sharing.
Star Wars fans are like the characters from The Room. Everyone bends over backwards to say in an over-the-top fashion, “Gah, Daisy’s so sexy.”
She is.
Boyega has a lot to prove here. I still think he was cast because of his race. SW is definitely trying to shoe-horn every race of people into the film to make up for years of white supremacy in Hollywood. If Boyega is really good, I will shut up. If he does heavy breathing in every scene, then it proves his casting was affirmative action.
If he’s breathing heavily, it’s because he was directed to.
So a white guy wouldn’t be exhausted from being hunted down by the Empire? Could your comment be anymore stupid? ^_-
White supremacy in hollywood? But Hollywood is jewish.
Behind the scenes, maybe, but not when it comes to marketing.
So what does Hayden Christensen’s shitty acting prove? Take your racist crap elsewhere, assh*le…
He’s my cousin… so shut up.
Why wait? Why don’t you shut up now?
…and it isn’t “affirmative action” you dolt. Don’t throw around terms you don’t understand.
If you ignore the “behind the scenes” snippet we got this month…We haven’t had a new trailer for this movie in 4 whole months…time for another one, and trust me, this is a tease for it.
We’ve never had a Trailer yet, this and everything else have just been Teasers
Well yes your right. So I’d say it’s time for one eh?
Yes, I think you’re right about that! I LITERALLY cannot wait for the trailer!
😉
Freaking awesome. That shot with Rey is especially magnificent, and I am not just saying that because she is hot. When I saw the title of this article I nearly peed my pants.
Dude needs Vadors respirator, why is he always out of breathe is he asthmatic or something????
3 obviously intense scenes show him out of breath. Whats the big deal????
People are BEGGING for a reason to complain about Boyega that doesn’t directly address his race.
I don’t think they’re half as bothered about his race as they are about his lack of attractiveness.
I’m sure you’re a real looker.
he’s a good actor, that what the movie needs, you want attractiveness? Go to your hayden christensen xD
What’s up with some of these comments on this site? Have some people never seen a black person in a movie before?
Not in a leading role for Star Wars, no. Plus, none of the other new leading heroes are white men, so that’s a shocker for some.
Boyega’s making history here.
Poe Dameron is a white man
Poe is not white. He is Guatemalan.
Guatemalans are not a “race.” People of all races live within Guatemala ….white, black, native american, asian, mixed races or mestizos. Like all countries in South America it is really, really diverse. I find it so funny when Americans think there is a “Hispanic” race.
Oscar Isaac looks mostly white, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some native american blood too. Or maybe not. It shouldn’t really matter though.
It’s incredible that we’re in 2015 and people can be shocked by that. I just don’t get it. We all breathe the same air, we’re all made up of the same stuff, luminous beings are we yadayada and the color of your skin is entirely dependent on where your ancestors lived on this globe. In other words, skin has nothing to do with a) acting abilities b) other abilities c) disabilities.
Yes, so John Boyega is breathing heavily. So did Vader.
Yeah! I think we’re been set up for a total surprise on Dec. 18th.
Trailer tomorrow?
There is one definite heck of a chance! Definitely before Force Friday because they want shoppers focused on the toys on that day, I think.
Yes please.
All I need is a little Rey of sunshine…
https://youtu.be/DWOJ6c9JUrA
I just realized now, listening through headphones, the three beats that repeat are in time with the lightsabers. Very cool JJ.
Noticed that too. Really amped up the teaser for me
Rey’s lightsaber is attached to the end of her staff. Just look at it, shaped like a lightsaber hilt.
Yeah, there are some theories that her staff is plagues’s lightsaber.
The racism of some of the supposed fans here is unbelievably ignorant. I honestly hope you racist morons hate the movie so much that you jump ship, entirely. The less of you there are in the theater, the more seats for actual fans.
Most of these racist comments are people using the same tired jokes in one form or another or trolls.
Regardless, the moderators should shut these bigots down immediately. There is no room for this behavior in a civilized society. Oh, wait, we’re not very civilized.
But then you got other people going on about Freedom of Speech.
It’s like ‘300’ all over again…
They should ban anyone talking about freedom of speech too.
Everyone should be required to have the same opinions.
“Everyone should be required to have the same opinions.”
This is a website. It’s governed by the rules of this website. Racist comments are not allowed here! That’s it. When you are a guest in someone’s home, you play by their rules. If you don’t, you’re out. It’s very simple.
You are still perfectly free to organize a peaceful Hitler Youth rally in the streets of your hometown, if that kind of freedom does it for you… but NOT here!
Exactly.
Here, everyone should be required to think exactly the same way.
No deviation of thought ought to be allowed here.
All talk of freedom of speech should be banned since it doesn’t apply here.
Actually this is a website. Not a home. There IS a difference. People should be aloud to speak their minds.
*allowed.
And there is no difference. It never ceases to astound me that the vast majority of people screaming “freedom of speech!” don’t actually know what it means: The government can’t arrest/persecute you for what you say. That’s it. You’re not guaranteed a platform. This is a website owned and run by individuals who get to decide what’s allowed and what isn’t, just like I can decide what I’ll tolerate in my own business or home. You want to spout your racist bullsh!t? Go find somewhere else to do it with your white-sheeted friends.
I really do appreciate what you’re saying here, and you’re right in regards to your comments on the 1st Amendment and freedom of speech. There simply is no argument against that.
That however, doesn’t mean that websites ought to eschew the spirit of free speech, and ultimately it’s never a good idea to.
But the primary problem that you and others are having with your accusations of racism, is that most of them don’t hold water. The word racism is grossly overused and misapplied in the modern era.
Take for instance a conversation from above in which a commenter remarked about Boyega’s breathless panting in every shot we’ve seen thus far. This was accused as being racist, which is ridiculous. It’s come to the point that any criticism of Boyega whatsoever is being erroneously labeled as racist, and it seems that what actually constitutes genuine racism has either been forgotten or has never been taught.
Having said that, there have been a few genuine racist comments. But the reason that it’s always a good idea for websites to allow freedom of speech without regard to the law, is because it allows genuine racists to out themselves. Think about it, by disallowing their comments, you effectively force them into the shadows. So you end up having pleasant conversations with closet racists. Whereas in an environment where ideas flow freely, the bad ideas are admonished, and those who express them are outcast without any need for banning.
This is why free speech works, even on a private website. You don’t cure bad speech with censorship. You cure bad speech with more speech.
You’re wrong, and let me tell you why. This is a website with rules. Period. If you don’t play by the rules OF THIS WEBSITE, than you’re out!
It honestly couldn’t be more simple.
This infringes no one’s rights. You consent to the rules when you post on this site. Other forums have different rules. Some have no rules. This is not one of those sites. You want to use hate speech and bigotry, find another site. No one will stop you. You are free to leave at any time.
Um you are already anonymous, so you are still in the shadows.
I’m anonymous AND I’m playing by the rules. Nothing wrong with either of those things here.
https://m.xkcd.com/1357/
Exactly.
The only way to facilitate civil discourse is to require everyone to express the same opinions as the home owner.
Which is why discussion of free speech should be banned, along with those who discuss it.
Wow! So you just continue to knock down your own straw man in a childish, passive-aggressive manner and delude yourself into thinking that you are adding anything at all to the discussion. For everyone’s sake, please let the grown-ups do the talking.
I rather hope that a movie like THE FORCE AWAKENS could help them review their medieval attitudes and realize that judging a person by his looks makes no sense whatsoever.
Holy Shit!!!!! This going to be EPIC!
Yes, it will. I think TFA will be the best of the whole sequel trilogy.
Which is really sad seeing as how their are two other movies coming after it.
This is the part when Finn tries to fight Kylo and Finn’s hand gets chopped off.
Later Finn gets a robotic hand.
Is it me or have all the scenes they have shown featuring Bubble Buns Boyega have him breathing heavy and sweating? I hope he shows more range in the intense scenes in the film because that looks like his go to “Shits going down” expression
Oh good. At least you have something to talk about besides Boyega’s breathing.
check out the countdown timer. it’s about to hit 111days 11hrs 11 minutes.can someone do a screengrab of it, since i will be at work 🙁
Hey, dude, I will if I end up staying up that late.
I literally just missed it.
hold on….look at the subtitle to this http://www.starwars.com/news/video-of-star-wars-the-force-awakens-appear-on-instagram
“the scenes on Hoth” says the official site. SKB is confirmed to be on the ice planet hoth now?
OPE
what does that stand for?
“And you thought the scenes on Hoth were awesome.”
You are picking up bad habits from the news media.
I read that as ‘you enjoyed the starkiller base shots from the previous trailers’, now check this out..
What if Finn is already on the path to being a Jedi. Maybe he already knew about Luke’s/Anakin’s lightsaber. Maybe he is planted there (First Order) by whatever “Jedi Order” Luke established knowing that the First Order is on the search for the lightsaber. Once it is found, he breaks ranks and makes a run for it. That may be the reason that he is entrusted to carry it when Rey doesn’t want too. Just quick thoughts, don’t beat me up too bad.
Finn holds the lightsaber as if it’s a baseball bat. He’s about to hit a high fly out to center field.
also the parade ground shot is slightly different. this time we can see two FO officers in the foreground.
I wonder if they have the balls to kill him. Not saying Finn should die, but what a way to start a trilogy. Introduce a character everyone assumes will survive and have him actually die at the end of the first film. Actually have people die and show a price for all this right off the bat. Killing someone like Han would really be obvious way to do that, but killing both Finn and Han would be huge.
In case anyone was wondering what Rey is looking at:
http://i.imgur.com/SCC4fUS.jpg
Damn it, now I have the Jurassic Park theme song stuck in my head.
Why Not Finn Skywalker… Who’s to say Luke is the father and we don’t know the mother.
Well, first off, Finn isn’t light skinned like a mixed race person would be!
And that isn’t racist. It’s reality.
Im just still amazed of the film quality on this…. this is Star Wars for sure…. i just hope we get a good story… it doesnt need to be the greatest story ever in film, just a nice simple one with no headaches… maybe something like Guardians of the Galaxy… it was simple and easy to follow, and it was fun…. but so far from what i have seen in all trailers, and photos, this does look great… dam i hope this movie is good….
Why do people think Finn has no training? On the back of his action figure it says he is a trained warrior. And it looks like he is pissed and the one to instigate the fight.
There is a difference between being a trained warrior and being a Jedi. Trained warrior can refer to his storm trooper training with the First Order if he is indeed a trooper at the beginning of the film. Most are seeing him as a storm trooper and believing he doesn’t know how to use a Light Saber. He could be trained with some other type of blade weapon and wields the lightsaber as he would another weapon. That is certainly a plausible.
Oh he’s trained alright, but all rumors indicate he is a trained stormtrooper, but I doubt that translates into lightsaber skill unless first order stormtroopers train with vibroblades or something. I have no doubt he has combat prowess, but against anyone who’s well trained in the “Jedi arts”, even a trained warrior is outclassed
The, ‘the dark side and the light dialogue is a different recording that the first teaser…’
i think all three versions of that dialog are from different takes.
Not sure about that shot with Daisy. Looks like a scene out of Into The Woods or Twilight or something.
I think Finn is going to duel with the skywalker saber before eventually returning it to leia and building his own. While it’s very possible he ends up with the relic, I would hope to see it stay in the skywalker clan and also to see new hilts and colors rather then seeing the same 1 or 2 sabers in every movie. Maybe it’s the collector in me, but I always love how personal and unique a jedi’s lightsaber is, the subtle reflection of it wielder.
The discussion here is about race. Why is Finn black? Why is he not Asian or Indian? Why this special preference for British black actors in Hollywood? Idris Elba, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Boyega, and now the guy cast as Kunta Kinte. No Black Americans, no Asians. No Eskimos and no Polynesians.
Anybody think Finn could die? His arc could span just one film. He was a soldier, who has an awakening of some kind and sees the First Order for what it actually is. Realizing all the things he has helped them do and what their future plans are he flees to help the resistance with whatever information he can give them. In this climatic battle he sacrifices himself to save Rey, the girl who saved his life on Jakku and absolving himself of whatever sins he feels he committed before fleeing.
It would be a different path from the last 2 trilogies where instead of a mentor type character dying, an actual character we feel is part of the “big 3” dies in Episode VII.
Yes, I hope he dies.
Yes, he could be some sort of introduction for the movie
Everyone. Its been confirmed. Andy Serkis is Darth Plagueis. Luke is guarding his tomb. The lightsaber is the key to opening the tomb.
All true. Darth Plagueis returns.
Except it has been mentioned that General Hux and Kylo Ren have contact with Snoke. So, if that’s the case, how could he be the leader of the First Order AND still be in a tomb? This is just wishful thinking. Andy is playing a new character and that’s that.
I said it was C O N F I R M E D.
The “Supreme Leader Snoke” is a throw off. Where is his action figure? Why no information release on the character?
Because its Darth Plagueis. Believe me or not, I dont care, but this is confirmed.
Andy Serkis is playing a dead Sith Lord who wants to come back.
Hux has no action figure either…is he Plagueis too?
I dont care like I said its been C O N F I R M E D. No I will not reveal my source.
Big baddie Plagueis whole focus was immortality. Think about it!
Then prove it.
Sorry, I don’t consider it “confirmed” because some random twit in the comments section tells me it is confirmed.
No one knows how far the dark side can goes. The master of Palpatine was knowed for his abilities to manipulate life. He could be a force ghost like jedis
The comments about Boyega are not racist at all. He simply does not suit the Star Wars Legacy in his style, look and stature, the heavy breathing seems over dramatic for Star Wars characters as they are always cool and in control. His stature could do with losing a few pounds shall we say, his ass seems to be a mile behind his walk.
As said nothing to do with his skin colour, Billy Dee was awesome because he was cool, slick, slim, and had a sparkle of character. So Far Boyega looks tired and boring and personally him being the main protagonist, or main Jedi…. Well, ‘I have a bad feeling about this’ and I hope and pray that Rey is the main Jedi, at least she actually has the vibe and style of a young Luke, and it seems she has spirit and zest!
Ridley 100%
Boyega 0%
Agree.
I really do not like the idea of him as the protagonist of the ST and/or as a Jedi.
Hope his journey end within TFA.
they were cool and control in the prequel because they couldn’t act thank to Lucas xD
Hope Finn will not become a Jedi or is a potential jedi.
I will really do not like this.
To be honest the new shots are quite ugly.
More Marvel than Star Wars..
And I hate to see Boyega with a lightsaber.
Why the hate for Finn?
The more I see from him the more I like the character.
Wait until we see the whole movie.
they’re racist, and so they’re trying every excuse not to like him, that is the truth.
If he was white none would have complain about him, they would all be happy because he could be luke son.
Every time you give people something slightly different they complain, if you give them the same, they complain… I’m happy Lucasfilm is not giving too much credit to stupid people like them 🙂
That would be sad…
I think people are just wise to disney trying to force diversity down our throats and are tired of it. It’s not that he’s black its that they erased 20 years of eu cannon for marketing and wiped multiple beloved characters away to make way for affirmative action figure the movie.
They had to erase canon… even between Clone Wars (2003) ad The Clone Wars (2008) there were continuity problems(ex: character of Asajj Ventress), if they wanted to have a universe that had a right continuity, they had to start with a new one
Love the Beethoven influenced score – I hope this score is part of the new soundtrack.
Go Finn go!!! I think I want to see BB-8 more than any other character though, I love that droid!!!
NOW Finn looks like a badass!
Fuck the empire coming straight from the underground. Young Jedi got it bad cuz im brown. I ain’t the otha colors so the sith think they have the authority to kill a minority. Straight outa jakku. Sheeeiiitttt.
Do you think by chance this may not be Finn preparing for battle with Kylo? I’m wondering if this is after Kylo has already battled with Luke, and then Luke wants his saver back? Finn’s not sure who the good or the bad guy was in the battle and puts up a front?!?!
Just a thought.
Also anybody else out there think Kylo and Rey might be brother and sister?
423 comments… 🙂 Amazing how 15 seconds can generate so much excitement. Are we ready for this movie? I think so. Hurry December!
The realease of this (a 15 sec. trailer is not even a teaser, and why yesterday?) is kinda suspicious… are we going to see something else (teaser 3?) during the Force Friday? Remember the short teaser for Jurassic World, realeased just a few days before the official trailer…
I expect a lot for Finn character, but honestly speaking, he does not look well with light saber. He would be fantastic with heavy guns or combat hand with hand.
It’s amazing how little we’ve actually learned; after months of speculation, brief glimpses of characters and footage, and a ton of conjecture. This movie seems to still be full of surprises- even for the “spoiled”.
I’m loving this new footage! Let’s hope the actual movie is a worthy entry into the series.
#blacklivesmatter
Yes they do indeed. Including the one one’s that get shot every day in Chicago and other gang infested territories that these protesters ignore.
Plot wise it doesn’t seem right as Finn, without any saber nor force training, is able to go toe to tow w/ a dark side user in a saber duel.
Hopefully the writers havent turned the force hasnt turned into the farce where every tom, dick, harry and finn is able to use it.
I don’t really agree with all these theories about Rey having had Jedi training already. I mean, I believe she is force-sensitive and a Jedi-to-be, but don’t believe she has any knowledge of it prior to the beginning of TFA…
Boyega looks ridiculous with a lightsaber.
He’s not leading man material in any way.
Heck, he’s not even extra material.
Big thumbs down.
Some of the thinly veiled racist comments on here are really getting ridiculous. Right we get it, you hate that a black character is a lead in this film, worse still that he may be a Jedi, even more catastrophic he’s using a Skywalker saber! :O
Take your intolerant nonsense and your pathetic attempts to reason away the fact you just hate that you have to watch a black guy play a cool ass part in the new Star Wars film. You idiots make me sick. I thought Star Wars fans were cool tolerant people, not ass hats.
Alright there – wind your neck in! I Hope that Boyega rocks in this film. I have no predilection for any race or gender being the main stars of this film, becoming jedi, warriers, good or bad. I just hope that there’s not another ‘love triangle’ thing between boyega / Issac / Ridley. Not because I have a problem with a Boyega and Ridley potentially hooking up, but because that would be lazy fan-service storywriting and general pandering to the diversity brigade.
Can’t they just all be friends?
Extra note: If one / all of them becomes a Jedi, then they must remain celibate.
Another note: If all Jedi were celibate – how were more Jedi born?
My head hurts 🙁
force sensitives born also from parents that are not force sensitives, and in the TV show The Clone Wars there is an episode where they explained that the jedi searched for young people who are strong in the force in order to take them to the temple and train them 😉
There Is No ‘Black Stormtrooper Controversy’
http://freebeacon.com/blog/there-is-no-black-stormtrooper-controversy/
Except… there’s numerous posts on here all complaining about Boyega for various reasons that seem to come back to being annoyed about multi-culturalism or “lefti propaganda” and so on, which to me seem like very thinly veiled openly racist attitudes. Even if not racist, then just some severely quick to judge denouncements of this one particular actor when we’ve literally seen virtuall nothing of his character, or the wider story his character is involved in… yet people are claiming he’s not right for Star Wars etc etc. No such concerns about Ridley or Isaac funnily enough, and Ridley has basically only been in a cheap UK tv show and nothing much else, while Boyega has at least proven himself a great actor and bad ass in Attack the Block.
I see a TON of racism here, in one for or another, and attempts to paint me as making it up is just ludicrous.
Regarding JB’s heavy breathing. I’ve just noticed that the camera actually ‘accentuates’ the motion of his breathing as it zooms in. It’s like JJ has attached an invisible link to his shoulder that goes up and down with his breathing?
Billy Dee = Cool as f**k
Samuel Jackson = Cool as f**k
Captain Panaka = Cool as f**k
James Earl Jones voice = Cool as f**k
Lupita Nyong’o = Cool as f**k
John Boyega = Uncool as f**k
IT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACISM
He just doesnt look the part for a lead role, too short, too fat, too clumsy looking, too babyish, and too much over the top huffy puffy breathing going on, casting him in a lead role is like casting Jar Jar as the chosen one!
Exactly my words! Please, Kylo “Revan” Ren, kill Finn with fire and chop his head off!
Get help
Slight correction mate….
James Earl Jones voice = Greatest of all f***s
have you even attack the block?? he kicks ass in that film. you’re judging him entirely by the way he looks.
Yo Dawg! The force be my biatch!
I see so much BS talk on this thread, but I think you missed something(unless someone else mentioned it and i missed it…)
Immediately after the narrator(Serkis) says, “there has been an awakening…” It shows Rey. SHE is the one that is awakened to the force.
Finn is just protecting the saber best he knows how. I have a feeling Rey will embrace the force once she sees that Finn is in trouble with Kylo Ren.
I agree.
in the first teaser Finn appeared after that sentence, I think both of them are force sensitive
On a side note… Next time you fart just say, “There has been an awakening… Have you smelled it?” You’re welcome…
Surprised he doesn’t hold the lightsaber sideways and beat box the lightsaber sounds
Disney’s Star Wars:
The Leftist Propaganda Awakens
Piss off
Anyone else noticed the Snoke voiceover sounds different to the original trailer? More subdued, darker. Possibly been re-recorded?
Nobody else noticed, and it certainly hasn’t been posted 8 times in this very comments thread. We are extremely grateful that you pointed that out.
Megalolzzzz! As if I’m gonna read all 400 comments previous to this. You full on prat.
Even reading a small sample would no doubt lead you to some discussion of this.
Regardless, if you are too lazy to read the conversation maybe you shouldn’t join in. Common courtesy dictates that you familiarize yourself with the conversation.

This clip with Boyega looks like something a couple of Star Wars geeks made in their basement with Adobe After Effects.
Pure crap.
So does anything in the orignals, a lot of these EP4-6 effects can be done better on a Home PC now. SO what?
Blue Kool-aid color lightsaber?
Going out on a limb here: Kylo cuts off Finn’s hand then announces he is his father. Original and unexpected. Boom!
Disney’s main priority with the TFA is to promote multiculturalism.
Not creating the best Star Wars movie possible.
Don’t believe me?
Then look no further than John Boyega with a lightsaber.
Yeah because Walt was all about multiculturalism. Lol
Get a clue, Disney’s interest in this is money pure and simple. They aren’t trying to make any social statements…they are trying to make truckloads of money. Cash, cold hard cash.
You are a nitwit.
Man, George Lucas got really fat. He was this skinny dude who blew up. Too many pudding pops, Maker.
Complications of diabetes.
I hate john boyega.
Seriously, =)
I’ve never seen so many racist involved in something that is supposed to be fun. Pull the stick from your asses.
Listen up people!!! If you want a bit of a clue as to what is going on in this movie, and what I believe could be a major spoiler actually hidden in the second trailer then watch it again, with headphones and a good volume level. During the Luke duologue listen closely, you will hear another voice echoing Luke’s. It is a muffled, robotic voice much like Vader’s. But it’s not Darth Vader folks. That’s the voice of Kylo Ren. You can hear him echo “The force is strong in my family. I have it, my sister has it”. This could be a major easter egg. It would reveal that kylo is the son of Luke Skywalker and that he has a sister. Hmmm, I wonder who the sister could be?
It’s Mark Hamill. This was already confirmed by Mark himself at Star Wars celebration. The main dialogue is just his voice from the RotJ recording sessions re-edited. The whispery echo underneath is the modern Mark. That’s just the way JJ Abrams chose to create the soundtrack for the teaser.
Finn’s last name is Plagueis, you heard it here first.
I’m looking forward to all the Gamergate racist/misogynist internet troll types disowning the Star Wars franchise and leaving it for decent tolerant people. JJ I salute you!
I think Boyega looks cool as fuck with a lightsabre. Looking forward to seeing Ridley getting involved in the action too with her staff!
I think that those people are the ones who spend a bazillion dollars on toys and going to see Avengers 6 10 times:
A.K.A the targeted audience
i am John Boyega’s life partner and i can exclusively CONFIRM Finn is the son of Luke and Leia.
? but they are white? I don’t see a problem with them having a son – unless it the Mediclorens that help conceive Finn. ?
white + white makes black, don’t you know anything
that is completely ignorant And disgusting. No need for it.
white +white does not equal black. It equals white!
Luke and Lelia are siblings there will be no incest here!
– unless it gets real messed up and there is a time travel aspect here and Luke Skywalker goes back in time – and “aids” the immaculate conception of his father……
Boyega to me is more annoying than Jar Jar.
The new kids pull the stupidest facials in every preview. The whole thing is very un-star wars esp see ESB and ROTJ which had an old world Hollywood and painterly feel.
“I’m getting a very bad feeling about this”
That looks like Anikans lightsaber..The one Obi-wan gave to Luke..
It looks a lot like anakins but the emitter is different
