And here’s the full video thanks to FuriousFanboys:
UPDATE 2!
And a slightly different US version but in HD:
Founder of SWNN, MNN and The Cantina forums.
Born on April 24, 1980.
DAMN! The sets are so freaking cool!
hux looks like a special kind of bitch…the kind that would be tough but completely crumble when someone like vader or kylo walk in the room
A middle management type. I get it.
It looks like Gwendoline Christie to me.
Everyone thinks that because of the reflections on the screen, if we have a higher quality screencap, you’ll see how wrong that assumption is.
That’s very possible and I definitely want to see a better clip. And of course it doesn’t fit with what (we think) we know. However, I still think it sounds like a woman.
I believe it’s Hux after seeing the U.S. version, mainly because the voice is much more clearly male.
Yeah, it was just quality of the video that was bad.
Doesn’t seem very Tarkin-like of him, now does it?
Haha.. Ford looks a little drunk in that alternate “Chewie we’re home” take
go home han you’re drunk… oh wait we are home
What a weird smile on Harisson’s face when he says ”We’re home”.
A different take of The “we’re home” bit?
I noticed that too. Makes me wonder that JJ did that specific take for the teaser.
It reminds me of Indy 4 the “Part Time” line was different in the trailer then it was in the movie itself. I guess that take better fit the movie where as the other take worked better for the trailer.
Except in this alleged ‘Indy 4’ movie, the take in the trailer was better than the one in the movie.
Full disclosure i never would have noticed if it had not been for Mr. Plinkett. But i will say that for this movie the trailer “we’re Home” come off more serious then the one from the clip even out of context.
Tons of movie have alternate takes in trailers vs the final film. Could be that the teaser scene was specifically for it, but we will have to wait and see what they use. I remember that a scene with the joker saying “A little fight in you. I like that” was different in the trailer than the actual film.
Possibly! With how Harrison raises his eyebrows, I’d like to think that they went with the 2nd trailer ver. as the brow raising kinda evokes… “Too much” or some sort of… Non-Han-ness; Happy-go-lucky nature (Wow… Def. couldn’t think of a better way to describe…)
Yeah, feels odd versus the trailer version. Like an outtake the way he raises his eyebrows. Kind of loses all the gravitas and emotion, but maybe/probably the scene is some sort of escape so there’s no time to stop and have a moment lol.
It’s pretty common for trailers to feature alternate takes and even what eventually end up as deleted scenes from the film.
This version’s a bit longer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-J1a4J7xNc
That screen grab of Hux made me think this was going to be a blooper reel lol.
Well, that pretty much confirms Rey has never flown the Falcon before. It will literally be a coincidence that she steals Han’s old ship, which is probably owned by Tasu Leech.
Makes sense. Though I wouldn’t call it coincidence. It’s the will of the Force. 😉
Or dad has never allowed her to fly it. Which is more likely.
Lots of questions about how this scene unfolds – One big question I still have is “Why is the Falcon on Jakku?” And also, how do Rey and Finn have time to run into it, while being chased by the TIE Fighter, fire it up, and take off for this big chase scene we’ve seen in the trailers? Wouldn’t the TIEs just blow-up the Falcon, if they saw them get into it?
Perhaps they run into Han Solo first, maybe Han says I can get you out of here but we have to get my ship back first.
I’m thinking the same thing too – Han’s already on Jakku but has lost owner ship of the falcon for some amount of time (that has yet to be indicated). Just timing of everyone being at the “right place, right time” works out.
But you see Rey flying the Falcon by herself, whilst Finn is manning the cannon. Han and Chewie don’t appear until the start of Act 2. This is the end of Act 1.
If Han is already at the Resistance base, why would Chewie have his crossbow in hand boarding the Millennium Falcon (“we’re home” scene). Perhaps they rescue Han & Chewie when they obtain the MF he tells them in the process they need someone to fly it and gets rescued.
But Han and Chewie are not introduced until the beginning of Act 2. Act 1 ends with Rey, Finn, and BB-8 being chased in the Falcon, flying through the Super Star Destroyer, out the other side and losing the fighters behind. Then jetting up into space. Shortly after they then run into Han and Chewie.
All the OT movie’s Act 1 ends with the good guys in a spaceship leaving a planet:
ANH: The Falcon leaving Tatooine
ESB: The Falcon and Luke’s X-Wing leaving Hoth
ROTJ: The Falcon and Luke’s X-Wing leaving Tatooine
Han and Chewie are not at the Resistance base. Han is estranged from Leia and has not seen her for sometime.
So upon escape the first thing that happens is the Millennium Falcon auto pilots to rescue Han which they probably have no idea where he is or why they should find him? To me this makes no sense at all. Why would they go on a mission to rescue Han? Han brings them to the resistance base from Jakku. It really makes sense Han’s fate was the same as the Millennium Falcon. He likely blacked out from the crash and was taken captive by those who found it. Rey doesn’t know who her family is or where to find them. She is waiting for them. Finn wouldn’t be like some guy named Han Solo flew this ship maybe he can help?
No autopilot. No mission to rescue Han. The Falcon is swallowed by a giant space craft shortly after leaving Jakku (Act 2). Finn and Rey are ordered off the Falcon, waiting at the bottom of the rank is Han and Chewie. That’s all I know.
So Han this whole time was hanging out in orbit in a very large spaceship that swallows the Falcon as soon as they leave Jakku? That’s some imagination. I’m not saying your wrong, it just doesn’t make sense.
I didn’t write the movie. I just know that’s what happens. The missing detail will hopefully be in the movie.
I just don’t think they would leave Jakku without a reason. Perhaps they fly to the Resistance Base and they are swallowed before landing. Han’s like who the F is flying the Falcon goes in with Chewie and his crossbow. It’s a bit of a stretch for me. Han telling Rey/Finn about the force right after Finn and Rey greet themselves. Clearly everything happens fast when they leave Jakku. We see tie fighters chasing Rey and Finn, this is when they meet, not enough time to exchange names. Somehow obtain the Falcon pretty fast still not exchanging names until after they not only aboard the ship, but even have time to chill and bs. I doubt they make it to Hyperspeed without Han as well. The only person that can navigate the Falcon in those Jakku scenes is Han in my opinion. Not having any knowledge of flying Rey sure handles it like a pro. Force skills or not, I don’t buy it.
They are forced to leave Jakku because the First Order have been ordered to find BB-8. You can guess why they’re after BB-8. Han doesn’t tell them about the Force until later in Act 2, after an element of trust has been built between them, and after BB-8 reveals what he is carrying. Feel free to continue believing that’s Han flying the Falcon on Jakku.
That’s the Moonraker plot, lol.
Han is seen at the Resistance base in one of the scenes where they are gathered around the roundish console.
The Resistance base scenes is after they have visited Maz Katana, later in the movie.
If you’ve read the script already, please share it.
The fact the Falcon just happens to be on the same planet as Rey bugs me as well. It must be located in a hanger so the Tie fighters can’t see it from above, the shot of Finn climbing up the steps into the back of something probably takes place before they settle on running into the Falcon.
This pic appears to show Rey & Finn running toward the Falcon’s ramp, which seems to be sitting out in broad daylight in the middle of the desert… Just weird that they get in, it’s empty, and they take it on this grand chase, just the two of them… Then after escaping, end up getting swallowed up by a larger freighter ship, and lo and behold, it’s Han & Chewie, whom haven’t been aboard the Falcon in some time? There’s got to be more to it!
Is that the Falcon’s ramp? Agree it looks very much like it, but you would’t be able to see Rey and Finn from that angle without them being obscured by the ramp itself. I’m sure I read somewhere that The Falcon is not their first choice, they choose a fancier ship to get in, but ultimately settle on choosing the Falcon as it meets their specs.
Agree, there must be more to the details, which will be flushed out in the movie.
Thats the biggest question mark of the film for me so far. What in the world is the falcon doing on jakku? Han’s “we’re home” moment tells me he hasn’t been on the ship for some time. Did he loose it a sabbac game? Did it crash on Jakku? I can’t see a senario where han relinquishes his ship while she is still in working order. And is it a coincidence that Rey picks this vessel to blast off in? So many questions….can’t wait…just one month until we can finally get the answers
Am I crazy, or does that person who says “Fire” (first screen grab) look a lot more like Gwendoline Christie than Domhnall Gleeson? And I think they have breasts.
SERIOUSLY, folks! Compared to photos of General Hux, this person has a higher hairline, no sideburns, female breasts, and sounds like a woman. I think it’s Phasma without armor.
Yeah I dont get why people are having such a hard time with that. I knew it was Phasma the moment I saw the clip.
Finally!
Well, I’ve seen the U.S. version posted above now and it seems much more clearly to be Hux.
Now that you mention it, if it is Gleeson he seems to have trimmed the sideburns a bit. http://img.lum.dolimg.com/v1/images/ep7_ia_22591_r_8396f2d2.jpeg?region=0%2C217%2C1040%2C587&width=768
It looks like the hair is longer, possibly parted on the opposite side, and is tucked behind the ear, much like Gwendoline Christie’s hair.
Still no Darth Plagueis, eh, I mean Snoke.
Even though I’m now convinced it’s not him. If he is one in the same, it may not be known until a later episode anyways. Think about this, what if Snoke is the apprentice? The rule of two, if Kylo is not a Sith, it’s possible that Plagueis is the Sith Lord and Snoke the official sidekick.
I totally agree, if Snoke is Plagueis, it won’t be revealed in TFA. So, nobody will know for sure until Episode VIII or more likely IX. /:O)
Or perhaps Snoke is Plagueis and the apprentice won’t be revealed until VIII with Guillermo Del Toro. Or, perhaps we are all wrong and Del Toro will be Plagueis and Snoke the apprentice. Either way, Plagueis is going to be in this trilogy. He has to be. Nothing else would be more satisfying…
I believe you mean, Benicio Del Toro 🙂
That description JJ gave yesterday sounds very much like Plagueis.
what is Snoke the creature sitting next to the Disney Channel guy? Not that’d be plot twist!
Looks awesome! It seems like that practical alien is our first look at the simon pegg character.
Pegg? I think not. Peg Leg? I think so.
He looks like the same species as Azmorigan from Rebels.
Simon’s character is on Jakku, why would he follow them to Maz’s castle?
In other news… POE SPEAKS! (Happy fans? lol – read enough about that)
He lets out a cheer (Wahoo!) I believe, in his X-Wing in the first teaser. It’s like people saying Luke isn’t in the trailer when he clearly puts his hand on R2D2. I’ve never understood the infatuation with creating these where is this guy or why haven’t we seen this. There are reasons. Mostly going to watch the movie instead of watching a trailer and not seeing the movie because you already saw it, sorta.
Haha, I stand corrected…
Yeah and what you’ve stated Thretostix is pretty much my point: I don’t understand where all of these “so and so hasn’t said a word” or “we have yet to see X & Y” have suddenly come from. To some extent I get it as its from sheer excitement of the anticipation of the film nearing release. But I don’t want to be spoiled everything either. Everything will be revealed in due time. Everything that’s has been revealed I believe has been more than good enough. At this point, I’m just waiting for the film like everybody else.
Is that Luke? JJ said he hasn’t been in any footage. There is a rumor that Finn loses a hand or arm in the Kylo Ren duel. What if that’s a shot of Finn at the end of the movie. It probably isn’t but it would be interesting.
Would it be possible that General Hux and Captain Phasma are siblings? They kinda look similar (well, the actors,at least)
I don’t think that’s Hux saying “fire.” It looks like Gwendoline Christie (higher hairline, no sideburns, breasts) and sounds like a woman. Phasma out of her armor?
EXACTLY what I was thinking.
I think its Jimmy Fallon saying FIRE
Olay, never mind. Now that I’ve seen (but more importantly, heard) another version, it does appear to be Hux.
YES! EVERYONE are siblings!!
I like the scene with Han and Chewie lowering their arms from a surrender position.
Reminded me of Endor when Chewie pops up from the Walker ; )
We are now officially at the moment where this movie going to be everywhere, and if you are not careful it will be majorily spoiled without even trying.
Qui Gon’s death was spoiled for me, just because I was flipping through a sticker book once.
Nothing will be spoiled. A lot will be SHOWN, but not spoiled. We’ve seen like 10 minutes from the first act of this movie at this point.
What a first act. Jakku, starkiller base, kanata castle, lightsaber duel…
Where are Rian Johnson and Colin Trevorrow going to take the 2nd and 3rd acts of the trilogy from there?
Maybe some of the second act, and like one second of the third. Still, overall, 10 minutes of footage.
Yes that’s true, not that match of the film and the story is spoiled (hopefully!)
two different dogfights and a TON of setup! the first 45 minutes are going to freaking rock!
But You never know! Sometimes 10 minutes could be way too much, take this for example, all of the Phantom Menace edited into two minutes, http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2015/11/new-star-wars-the-force-awakens-behind-the-scenes-video-shown-on-the-uk-disney-channel.html
Sorry wrong ling
Interesting.
In Australia, we had some dumb interviewer say to Liam Neeson “well we know that YOUR character won’t be back in Episode 2″… which annoyed a lot of people. Although that was something I assumed – it was always about Anakin and Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon was always going to die.
Here in Taiwan, they run the trailer everywhere, even if you want to withdraw money at an ATM, chances are that you’ll finish watching the trailer first.
Chances also are that if you look around, you’ll see the trailer running on one of the many billboards across the city.
It was spoiled for everyone by the soundtrack titles released a couple weeks before the movie. Qui-Gon’s Noble end, and Qui-Gon’s Funeral.
After following all of the spoilers for the PT films, I’m quite impressed by how well they’ve been able to keep some of the big secrets up until this point, like “Who are Rey & Kylo’s parents?” and we also have no idea what Snoke looks like. We’d also have no idea what Luke would look like, aside from that one leaked photo of him in wardrobe. I feel like going into ROTS, I knew the whole movie already while I was watching it in the theater for the first time. That’s not going to be the case this time though!
Well that was… lengthy.
thats what she said
Based on a one liner my gut feeling is already telling me Oscar Isaac is going to be incredible in this
I had the exact same feeling…
Just the way he said that one line was incredibly believable for me. You could deliver that line 1000 different ways, and every time it would sound cheesy, but Isaac pulled it off. Maybe we’re weird for thinking this, but like I said, I had the same reaction that “We got company..”
Is it just me, or is the “Chewie… We’re home!” line different in this compared to the second teaser? I’m betting they used an alternate take for the teaser because it sounded better as a closer than the line in the film.
I like this one better. Something’s happening, not just a momentary reflection.
That “Chewy, we’re home” take differs from the 2nd trailer in which Solo, while speaking the words, stands still (with a little nod at the end), while in this new one he walks to the left (our left). I wonder which take will be in the movie. Which would be more Solo-esque?
I think this one is better, the other one was probably done for the tease and it felt like a full stop. This one I can see flowing into what follows better.(at this point since I don’t know what happens next)
This version seems to be for the movie, they walk in with weapons drawn, but are under some pressure (maybe being chased) in this version, after they see that they’re home, they immediately run to their seats and fly away.
“I can do this” straight out of Star Trek! prepare for a few of those!
“Punch it” in Star Trek 2009, straight out of Star Wars.
Also, R2-D2 can be seen in one shot floating in space.
Any more complaints?
yeah, you saying any more complaints! did I complain? I just pointed something out dipstick, which other similarities between the two have ready been pointed out by others.
I thought you were going on a “JJ is destroying SW with his ST” tirade. Happy to see you’re accepting both.
“dipstick”
I’m going to use that from now on.
Is that Geordi La Forge with dreds in the video?
here’s the US version.. terrible quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3wQcNGkqvU
They’ve really recut everything from Rey-Finn meet-up on Jakku about 10 different ways from Sunday to keep from revealing stuff, haha
Guys, I swear every line Daisy Ridley says makes me like her even more each time I hear it.
Something about her, just makes me smile. She has this magnetic atmosphere surrounding her.
I found a good quality one!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehCAFnpc16A
Seems like the Brits got a slightly different version with clips that here on the other side of the pond, didn’t get (such as the “alternate” version of Han saying ‘Chewie… We’re home!'”)
ooo that what was missing, hopefully we get a HQ ver of that soon. I can’t take watching crappy TV recordings lol
Wow
wut happened to Mr Hux’s mouth?
well he did play his son in Harry Potter- but you would probably be better off comparing him to a shot of his real father making a similar face.
Those TIE’s in space look amazing.
I think I’m starting to see too much 🙁
Anyone else notice that the “we’re home” shot is a different take from the trailer?
Definitely noticed. Way more upbeat.
Not as good
better
How can you not notice?
Continue their journey alone or work together defeat the dark side. Two Jedi heroes in this new trilogy.
Hux shows promise
A few things stand out to me. One, that new clip of Han saying “were home” is way more Solo-like than the first version we got. Secondly…I don’t understand the need to hide snoke unless one thing would be for sure: the second we see him we’ll know it’s plagueis.
Exactly!!! We have seen all the new characters except for Snoke. I believe the reason for this is because it would ruin the plot before we even see the movie!
Exactly man, why hide a character we all would otherwise know nothing about?? It’s because as soon as we would see him…we’d know.
is “i can do this” the new “ive got a bad feeling about this” ?
JJ put “Punch it” in Star Trek, he now puts “I can do this” in Star Wars.
I wonder why no-one saw this frame:
i can think of a reason: it’s not there
It’s fake, the face taken from that picture
Fail.
Fake
Overall, I liked it, but I’m not a fan of Hux’s “uniform”(?). It looked like a satin version of Dr. Evil’s suit.
It bothers me people put “HD” in their videos because it sounds nicer, when it’s not only a low frame-rate, but interlaced scaling. Seriously.
Why is it the UK gets the cool looking dude with the dreads and the US gets Screetch? WTF is up with that?
Because the UK invented dreads, whereas the USA invented saved by the bell.
True story.
A longer video was shown before the new episode of Rebels on Disney XD here in the UK that had some behind the scenes footage from Greenham Common. I’ll try to grab it if it’s not already being shared.
https://youtu.be/a2aD19WZOmg
This just hit the web!
Nice one! Thanks for that.
More new footage too.
I’m surprised these guys haven’t reported on it yet! Lol your welcome
They are waiting on a decent quality video to hit.
https://youtu.be/i1QK_usL0Rs
CBR just uploaded an HD quality one!!!
It’s better, but hardly what I would call “HD”… it barely looks like 480.
fucking amazing…Kylo looking badass as always
HOLY SHIT
https://youtu.be/i1QK_usL0Rs
CBR just posted an HD quality upload of the TV Spot!!!!
From what little dialogue we heard thus far, I sense a high potential of cheese. Hopefully not the case with the final product but the zoom-in’s are not helping with that.
Crazy theory after hearing bb8 described as mysterious: R2d2 was disassembled and resurrected as bb8, or maybe the whole droid pops right out of R2s dome top. At some point bb8 will be reunited with the trash can body. It will be an emotional scene I’m sure
