Updated With Better Quality. New Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV Spot Featuring Nien Nunb!
Disney Channel aired a new TV spot form The Force Awakens with several new scenes including a brief look at Maz Kanata.
Removed by request.
And another one featuring Nien Nunb, this time in better quality again thanks to LeJediLorrain:
Founder of SWNN, MNN and The Cantina forums.
Born on April 24, 1980.
If Gollum became a comic book nerd.
or ET’s wife decided to pilot an aircraft during WWI
I don’t necessarily mean this in a negative way, but she does look REALLY strange. ^^
Looks matter not. Judge her by her looks do you? Well, you should not. 😉
If that doesn’t scream Finn will be a Jedi, then I don’t know what does.
It doesn’t, he’s not.
what is he then?
A stormtrooper who is bad at his job.
Why would a stormtrooper who is bad at his job be given Anakin’s lightsaber?
exactly. and from the looks of it, he gets the lightsaber when he meets rey, if rey was the jedi, then why didn’t they just give it to her
I’ll find out on December 17th.
yeah and a lot of people will eat crow and humble pie
He’s going to join Kylo on the dark side
man you really don’t want him to be a jedi don’t you, well you are speaking like you have seen the film, give me proof, and don’t mention that crappy fake script cos all the tv spots show that the original characters interact with the new characters for more than one scene, something which the fake script said was not true
It screams, “Finn has the lightsaber and tries to fight with it”, That’s all.
I personally think he will become a Jedi, but not yet. I think Rey ends up as the “new hope” in this and the publicity with Finn and the saber is a deliberate red herring to make you think he’s the new Luke (and it look’s like it’s working).
What about Finn igniting the lightsaber in front of Maz ?
What about it? She’s a pirate. Not Yoda. Just because she might be able to see the force in some way doesn’t mean she chooses or trains Jedi.
I’m not sure why people say its a red herring. The moment people laid eyes on Rey everyone thought “OMG the Solo twins, She’s Jaina Solo and the new Jedi” It wouldn’t be shocking or a twist if shes the Jedi. The new hope. We all expect it.
Really the surprise would be if theres any family relation between these new characters and the ones of old imo.
Well, as I have said elsewhere I think they both become Jedi and then one will go on to fall to the dark side. I just don’t think Finn becomes a Jedi in this one and I don’t think his use of the saber will reflect what happens in the future. I think that Rey is the Skywalker (either Luke or Leia’s daughter) or Kylo Ren is, and Rey is the one who they initially think is either the Skywalker set to bring balance or to find Luke to help redeem Kylo. I think this is, in part, why we don’t yet really know any of their full names.
No one said he’s going to become to be a Jedi on this one, but rather that he’s destined to become a Jedi; Maz sees it in him by the looks of it.
You can tell all this from a picture? Wow, you must be a Jedi as well….
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
why is it that everyone is trying so hard to prove that Finn is not a jedi even though everything so far has proven that he is, he has the lightsaber in promo images and in multiple scenes in the trailers and tv spots. these are the same people who speak like they have already seen the film, and to those people you are going to eat a lot of crow when the film comes out. The usual excuse people use is that “Han used the lightsaber once, is HE a jedi?”, well that is a stupid analogy, han didn’t use the lightsaber multiple times in the film, plus he never had promo pictures of him holding the lightsaber or him holding the lightsaber on the poster.
Was Greivous a Jedi?
yeah well I doubt he will just have the lightsaber given to him, when they could have given it to rey, he has it for a reason, he has it cos he is the jedi
How do you know he’s not been tasked with delivering it to Luke. If he’s a Jedi, who trained him?
some people wont be eating take away when the film comes out
Yep. Nobody think Finn will be a jedi while most people assume Rey is the one. So no, the misdirection is not working JJ
I agree, except I don’t think he’ll become a Jedi at all.
so much hate and what if if Rey is not a jedi huh then you would be all over Finn there have been two force users in ever triology as heros(Obi-Wan and Yoda dont count for the OT) Leia does for the OT
No hate at all. The only hate is contained within your own delusional perception, noi doubt driven by unquestioning worship.
yeah too much diet racists hate finn
I thought Maz would look better tbh
They both look like crap, lets start being honest guys or Disney will bend us over even more
So you won’t be seeing it, I assume?
They look like crap? You know intelligent people elaborate on their criticisms so that others can discuss. “They both look like crap”. Because you didnt explain why, I’m just going to have to make an assumption…You don’t like it because you still havn’t seen Jar Jar. EDGAR WANTS JAR JAR EVERYONE! HE THINKS IT WILL BE CRAP WITHOUT HIM!
Hope is not lost: Lord Snoke will be a 25-foot version of Jar Jar. Prblem solved.
EXACTLY
You know these videos are shit quality right? They’d look better in HD, obviously..
You look like crap.
NIEN NUNB IN AN X-WING?!
Who is Poe Dameron’s “wing woman” on the clip ?
Seems to be Jessika Pava (played by Jessica Henwick). The helmet seems to match.
I thought that was Tiffany Smith at first.
A pity that they seem to be using stock dialogue for him from Return of the Jedi.
Yeah, in a commercial for a movie where the audio and effects are still being mastered and finished, it actually makes sense and is done quite literally ALL the time. No different than using cutting room scenes in trailers, recorded dialogue that never made it into the movie, or any other number of things that happen in trailers and commercials that aren’t the actual movie.
I was right about Rey piloting the Falcon on Jakku with Finn on the turret. Han hasn’t shown up yet.
There is one thing I don’t get. We were told Rey was abandoned on Jakku at age 5 and grew up pretty much on her own. Where did she learn to pilot a starship then ? From her backstory, she’d probably be barely able to read.
Based on the trailer and the Falcon’s maneuvers, it seems she’s quite adept as a pilot. So, I take it she either learned that skill elsewhere, probably by someone watching over her on Jakku — kind of like Ben Kenobi. Perhaps Max von Sydow’s character is watching Rey from afar until the time is right.
What the spoilers in the magazine interviews said is that she had a “boss” on Jakku she reported to, more so than a father figure. Maybe learning to pilot was part of her “job” at one point
That’s probably the best guess there is at this point. This is really cool, though, since now the question becomes, “How on earth does Rey have access to the Falcon?” Furthermore, how does Rey ‘find’ Han and Chewie, so that they too are back onboard the Falcon?
Han and Chewie have been hiding in the cargobay for the last 30 years..
Like all other Abrams SF characters she’s probably a super-genius.
Strange as Luke’s immediate mastery of a T-65 space-superiority starfighter (having only previously piloted a T-16 airspeeder), and instant promotion to lead flier of a trio over two more established Alliance pilots, might seem, at least the X-Wing was a standard design intended for space combat. The Falcon, on the other hand, is a uniquely modified ageing freighter, and probably not ever designed for low-altitude dogfighting.
No amount of scavenger moxie or pre-school memories (or indeed midichlorians) should prepare Rey for the kind of flying we see in the trailers. I hope there is some sort of explanation, because right now I’m looking at the Qo’noS chase from the woeful Star Trek Into Darkness, where Harry Mudd’s confiscated trader outflies half the Klingon Empire on their own turf – and without Jim Kirk at the conn.
Her Grandpa was the best pilot in the galaxy at one point. So was her dad/uncle (Whoever Luke turns out to be) Do you remember the ComicCon behind the scenes video? There is a part where it appears she is struggling how to maneuver the falcon. Plus she may have practiced a little on Jakku..
Have a gold star.
Thanks!
It’s hard to imagine Lupita’s voice coming out of that.
The whole Lupita thing was a last minute throw in. JJ got in hot water with the diversity police.
Yawn
my feelings exactly.
Yeah, there’s no way that JJ wanted Lupita from the beginning because she’s a talented, Oscar-winning actress. Now take your thinly-veiled racism and leave this place.
Calm down. I like the casting of the main leads and think its refreshing.. I don’t like when supposed artists bend to the will of hack talentless “feminist bloggers” because of their supposed outrage.
my point exactly. It DOES NOT FIT. Why couldn’t they just have Lupita herself rather than go CG?
shes black people would start hating just like they did with Finn
Because the character is 1000 years old, and an attractive young woman like Lupita is not really going to be believable as a 1000 year old character, is she?
you can do so with prosthetics. They did so in the 80’s
Seems that Disney thinks we still haven’t seen enough…
She does kind of look like a pumpkin or a sweet potato
why is maz just sitting in the middle of the battle with an innocent smile on her face while finn is about to turn up? also maz kanata is probably half-pumpkin
Maz is bizarre. Looks like a pumpkin with glasses
Swollen hemorrhoid more like.
Well, she’s just as old like Yoda, so it’s not bad to me.
When a 1,000 years old you reach, look as good you will not.
A pumpkin with glasses….looks like a pumpkin with glasses.
After geting hyped up by the teasers and trailers these TV spots are kind of taking me down to earth again. The more I see the less hopeful I become. Which is good for Dec 16th, maybe I can go in with expectations lowered and enjoy it for what it is. A movie inspired by the forever shining original trilogy of awesomeness.
Agreed. JJ, lol.
WTF do you want?
A Star Wars movie that looks, sounds and feels like a Star Wars movie but with new plot lines, character arcs and beats.
Maybe you should see the movie before deciding that TFA can’t be that?
Oh come on, he asked me what I want and I told him. I am looking forward to TFA, but that’s entirely beside the point here. Read, and thou shalt receive.
Stop with all these ‘TV Spots’ that I never seem to see on the telly! Maz looks like an orange.
That was my first thought for Maz too. And they could have done it with a pretty cheap practical effect.
The color on the video is extremely saturated. Look at the Kylo bridge scene.
And you look like a cactus.
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!
haha.. And you like a rotten tomato 🙂
No…I look like Morpheus. I can recommend companies that do great glasses.
tasty!
M&M’s. But still doesn’t mean you aren’t a cactus.
Film LOOKS good, but it’s JJ.
I don’t mind the character of Maz, but I said before it should have been prosthetics or puppetry because it looks TOO CG to me.
And when will we see Rey with her lightsaber?
It’s been all Finn.
So he’s just going to have it for this film, and not again after that? Why would he be given it in the first place?
And finally….Isaac is shown!
JJ himself said that Maz will be doing too much active/weird stuff to be a puppet, and that he specifically wanted her to look like one. We’ve barely even seen Maz onscreen, get over it.
How did he get that she looked bad for this split second spot in poor quality?
I know, right? Nothing looks good in 144p.
and Isaac speaks! that was the biggest reveal of all for me. i always thought he’s not progressive enough to get lines in the promo material
Maz looks like a near-sighted peanut M&M!!!
FINN IS A BADASS WITH THE LIGHTSABER!
yeah ikr
why is it that everyone is trying so hard to prove that Finn is not a jedi even though everything so far has proven that he is, he has the lightsaber in promo images and in multiple scenes in the trailers and tv spots. these are the same people who speak like they have already seen the film, and to those people you are going to eat a lot of crow when the film comes out. The usual excuse people use is that “Han used the lightsaber once, is HE a jedi?”, well that is a stupid analogy, han didn’t use the lightsaber multiple times in the film, plus he never had promo pictures of him holding the lightsaber or him holding the lightsaber on the poster.
Because people are stupid raisct it was the same for Mace Windu
thank you
So anyone who questions Finn not being who u want him to be is a racist.
not everyone
People who’s minds are not open to the possibility of him being a jedi are racist. Being so adament that Finn is not a jedi yet being so open to a white character being a jedi is kind of weird. Also Finn has some skill with a lightsaber. Even if he loses to Kylo why would he put down a weapon that he has shown some talent with to use a blaster the rest of the trilogy? That would make no sense.
People that have to fall back on calling others racist shows a severe lack of intellegence. Kinda of like a child reverting to saying, “your stupid”.
I noticed all the culprits didn’t reply to my true comment
Having a lightsaber doesn’t prove he is a jedi it just proves all stormtroopers are trained for anything. Including meeting their enemy Luke
he has it on all the posters and the trailers, the lightsaber is the weapon of a jedi, it is very rare, that is why people are usually shocked by it
also a lot of people are assuming Rey is a jedi and she take the lightsaber from him (which is stupid seeing as if she was a jedi, Finn would not be given the lightsaber and she would have it instead)
What about that Concept Art with Rey holding Saber & Finn on the ground with Ren standing over him? http://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Daisy-Ridley-Dark-knight-II.jpeg
she maybe just wields it then to save his life, plus I am not sure this is a real concept art, plus not all concept at is used
You realize that a lot of concept art doesn’t get used. So it MAY or MAY not be used. That is why it’s called “concept” because it’s a VERY VERY early idea.
I like you, you speak logic
I may be mistaken, but I remember them saying this was concept art for the old script that they had before the tweaking. I wouldn’t read into it. Kylo Ren was supposed to be the cyborg sith lord we kept hearing about at first but all that changed.
He is not a Jedi ,if anything Rey will be a Jedi.they are using the lightsabre thing to throw you off
any evidence, it feels like you are pulling this from your buttocks,w cos I have proof to show that Finn is a jedi, he is wielding the weapon of a jedi, from the looks of it, he gets the lightsaber after he meets rey meaning that he is with her when he gets the lightsaber, if SHE was the jedi, why didn’t they just give it to her
plus being a jedi is not that big of a reveal in star wars
I doubt they will pull all this off for some $hitty twist that half the audience wouldn’t care about
aaaaah…..the lovely sound of the red-herring. Do you get any prizes for being a red-herring? Plane tickets to the bahamas?
yeah no one in the audience will care or give a shit lool
What if the only reason Finn has the lightsaber is because Rey initially rejects it?
that is a stupid theory, if so then Finn might as well continue using the blaster
And if he has no blaster, and the only weapon to hand is the lightsaber?
he has a blaster actually, in the promo art, he is holdin the blaster and has the lightsaber in his jacket at the same time
see he has the choice to use both, now to prove to me why rey is the jedi, cos you haven’t brought me any proof
That’s a good point. I think everyone has pretty much assumed the truth in the rumours that Rey is Han/Leia’s daughter and therefore a Jedi. While that may well be, there is no photographic evidence of her being a Jedi, whereas there is plenty for Finn.
I’d actually assumed they were both force sensitive, but if only one of them is, it’s Finn.
yeah
Yeah, My assumption was that they’re both force sensitive brought together by the will of the force, and although they might have different stories, they’ll ultimately become Jedi. The earliest rumors were always that Finn and Rey were both force sensitive.
The earliest rumours also said that Gleeson’s character was a jedi, too (which I still hope he is!).
I think this lame Staff she uses is the evidence for me Rey will transition to Saber easily.
That’s what most people aren’t considering. Finn has a blaster rifle. Why would he prefer using an ancient weapon he has no experience with over a blaster hes been trained to use his entire life.
“eeeew, lightsabers make me puke…here finn, get it away from me!”
Deal with it.
no, you have to admit, “anything but the black man!!!!!”
My belief is that Finn will become a central hero, hopefully a type we haven’t yet seen. There is no evidence that he is force sensitive. My gut feeling is he’s not destined to become a Jedi. If I’m right, I’m right. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. This does not make me, or anyone who holds a similar view racist. Your insinuation is very offensive.
Can you honestly say if it was a pretty white boy actor like Zac Efron(who was in early talks for Finn) or Rob Pattinson that you or all these other people would think he wouldn’t be a Jedi. People would be going crazy thinking that Finn might be a skywalker or related to Obi Wan if some white boy played him. In fact if JJ wanted to do a misdirection that would probably be the way to go.
We should find out who is what in less than 4 weeks.
even if it means ruining the story
Deal with what?
lool exactly that is sooo stupid looool
Because racist idiots are racist idiots.
thank you
Nothing to do with racism. MSW plot and spoilerboard confirms that Rey is the one who should wield Babykiller (Anakins last lightsaber).
Finn might be a Jedi but it seems that the story is going to be about Rey-Kylo relationship. If Finn becomes Jedi, he`ll be something like Qui-Gon.
MSW plot is bullshite, you are gullible to believe that the creators would not even try to claim their work or remove it from the internet, that is what happens when scripts leak, I know this I studied filjm
Try studying writing too.
I am in a rush, Ben
Yeah Ben where are you when the Rebellion needed you most YOU,Starkiller, and Rahm Kota could have eaily took down Vader
that same shitty script, has been changed more times than the goddamn bible
It does almost appear that he is not and just has it, at least at the moment. He might have the force, but if he did i think he wouldn’t be a storm trooper in the empire, he would be more. So, I think he just has it and uses it but not a jedi, but the more force users the better, it’s not like they would just not be born anymore, but they need training, maybe fin and Rey (related to kylo) will be Lukes students in the second movie.
he was forced into being a stormtrooper, he had no choice, that is why he is not a jedi knight right now, but now he has the opportunity to be something heroic, he can
I’ve noticed it. People really trying hard to prove Finn isn’t a Jedi for some reason. I don’t think he is… yet. One of the early rumors we heard, from the same sources people on here are bringing up, is that there is a scene with Finn deflecting blaster shots with the saber. That’s what stood out to me. I think at the very least, hes an extremely raw force sensitive. The force awakens, and I think gradually he starts to tap into his potential. I believe if anything, Rey is the Skywalker and “main” Jedi of the trilogy, but I believe Finn is just as important and his story just unfolds in a totally different way.
Either way if this was all for misdirection, I think it could backfire. John Boyega is looking like a star, and from what we know so far hes becoming a fan favorite because his story is so refreshing and interesting. They did a helluva job promoting Boyega/Finn and hes going to benefit the most from this movie in my opinion. The other reason Boyega is highlighted could be because of what we heard about there being concern about Ridley handling the media whereas Boyega is much more comfortable and charismatic.
Because all evidence points to it being a misdirection. In the next Episode maybe Finn becomes a Jedi too.
no the points don’t, there is no proof of misdirection, you people are just assuming it
A better analogy than Han would be general grevious. He was highly skilled in melee weapons but even before becoming a cyborg he never was a Jedi. It is possible Finn is a Jedi but the empire has never had random Jedi as stormtroopers- he would be a knight of ren or elite assassin, and if he is just discovering his force sensitivity, why is he already skilled in saber combat? I’m not saying he’s not a Jedi (he very well could be and that would be awesome) but it is far from “obvious” that he is one.
my thing is, why is it that everyone has to prove that finn is not a jedi but assume that rey is, these same people had no trouble guessing that qui gon was a jedi
Plot twist and JJ (Lost) Abrams.
its not a shyamalan
And I think we can all be thankful for that. You asked, I answered.
The alternative answer is a little less trite and unfortunately has to do with the colour of the actors skin.
Cause he had those “Sweet” jedi robes..
(Which are stupid by the way)
I think they are both jedi. But Star Wars Rebels has already shown the Empire screens for force sensitive cadets. So that could be a problem.
We are going to see lots of new jedi if Luke is rebuilding the Jedi acadamy.
Qui-gon said in the trailers that “the force is unusually strong” in Anakin, so it didn’t take much of a leap. Both Rey and Finn looked shocked when Han says that the Force/jedi are real, which says to me that while the force may be strong with one or both of them, neither of them are jedi yet…
Very true, personally I have no preference either way but a lot a people are very adamant about that for some reason. The only reason I personally think Finn isn’t a jedi is that he is confirmed to be a runaway stormtrooper who is rumored to find lukes old saber. Now if it is bequeathed to him then you are right he is almost definitely a jedi, but if he simply finds it then the fact that Rey seems to be the focus of the marketing make me assume the lead character is a Jedi (although its totally possible they are co-leads or the lead is a non-jedi). Qui-Gon is different because he was rumored to be the master of Obi-Wan and he was advanced in years in the era of thousands of jedi, so clearly he was a jedi. Finn is likely a jedi because he has the saber, but because he is so young I can see it going both ways. Perhaps neither he nor rey is a jedi and luke is indeed the last of his kind.

If this film sucks, Let’s blame it on the raaiiiinnnnnnn.
our initial visuals of maz have been underwhelming…first barely visible in the poster, and now a fleeting shot in the background.
All you guys talking smack about Maz after seeing literally less than 1 sec of footage are morons. There. I said it.
she still looks ridiculous tho haha
Thankl you. We’ve seen one super-saturated shot and now everyone is calling her some kind of pumpkin. They just need to shut it.
I got a pretty dope screengrab of Maz Kanata.
You sure that’s not Mark Hamill before the diet?
Well i don’t really think Finn will be a jedi, from what i’ve seen they are heavily hinting it will be Rey instead…
What have we SEEN that says she will be a jedi?
Any force powers? Or her wielding a lightsaber? Or any trailer pointing to her learning the ways of the force? Or maybe I’ve missed something. Help me out here.
Same for Finn, all we have got is that he uses a lightsaber.
That doesn’t make you a Jedi plenty of other people have who are not force sensitive( If you count the old Expanded universe).
Honestly, i can just sense it…I can feel the Midi-chlorians flowing within her…
(I’m really just guessing, it seems a bit obvious the way they are showing him with the lightsaber, and not really showing him using the force at all since the lightsaber isnt what makes the jedi. And if you are right, you can have a Cookie 🙂 )
Earliest rumors were that both Finn and Rey are force sensitive. I really don’t know why it has to be one or the other.
Hopefully they are both force sensitive. Technically, there is nothing that proves EITHER Rey or Finn are jedi, or are NOT jedi.
Ask me on December 17. Or December 14, if I win tickets to the LA premiere from Omaze!
Well that would be weird because he’s looked like a total bad ass with a lightsaber with these last two spots. So not to have the kid from Attack the Block who rocked a katana blade not have lightsaber and be a jedi in this trilogy will be a collasal mistake. There are always two force sensitves in the big three and one that is not. Obi Wan Anakin Padme, Luke, Leia, and Han, and now Rey, Finn, and Poe. Poe being a main character and an ace pilot gives them a POV character for the aerial battles. Rey and Finn will be force sensitive. They are not just going to have one force sensitive main character. Especially when this trilogy is about the reemergence of the force sensitives and the Jedi.
THATS WHAT IM FUCKING SAYING!
This who is or is not a Jedi argument is getting tired. It goes nowhere. Just wait a few more weeks and we will found who, if anyone, is or seems to be slated as a Jedi (or is force sensitive)…

Yeh i agree.
But if i do get it right i get a cookie, if not i still get a cookie.
Fair?
(But really you are right, but we all know han is really a Zygon!)
there have been 2 force using heros(Leia counts and Obi-Wan and Ani from the PT where the mains)
That’s not Maz Katana or whatever she’s called. It’s the desiccated remains of George Hamilton.
Help me out here guys.
So i’m seeing one dude with the lightsaber all the time, and the chick always with the staff.
Why would the chick then get the lightsaber and the dude…the blaster?
And why would the chick reject the lightsaber for the much better and powerful weapon…the staff?
Help me out here, and please use logic.
its cos she is not a jedi
She has to be. There is no way with a franchise this major with most of the fans being white…the leading white female is not a jedi. IMPOSSIBLE. She definitely is….but maybe she just uses the staff as a jedi.
I just want to know who would reject a lightsaber and use staff instead,
I am not sure, we will find out though
Wikipedia says Goa’uld is from Stargate. That’s already more information than I felt I needed about that show.
Are you dissing the Star Trek fandom?
Because she is a Goa’uld.
who?
wtf?
are we still stuck in the white/black, chick/guy nonsense tho? geeeez
people assume Rey will be a jedi cause her story parallels Luke’s, people assume Finn will not be a jedi cause most of the time we see him with lightsaber he looks rather out of his element and we know he used to be a stormie and up until yesterday we had no evidence that stormies do get trained in using these sort of weapons.
sorry to disappoint if you were waiting for “chick has to be jedi cause she’s white and the guy is black so he’s not force sensitive and dies at the end”
When I was a kid pretending to be a ninja turtle, I always used to choose Donatello, because I thought the staff would knock people out but not kill them, whereas Leonardo’s swords or Raphael’s sai would really hurt someone. Perhaps Rey realises just how badly a lightsaber would mess somebody up and is repulsed by that?
Go to Making Star Wars.net, they explain everything perfectly. And they’ve been right about everything so far.
they are rubbish, they edit the script they have everyvtime a new trailer or tv spot comes out
What are you talking about?
I’ve read their theory and if that’s what really happens in the film, I won’t waste my time going. So need something more official with better logic
I don’t believe the movie ends with Rey walking up to Luke and handing him a lightsaber. This movie is said to have Empire Strikes Back vibes, The baddies win. Kylo Ren most likely retrieves the saber from Finn in their battle.
Also Hamils says we see Luke at a different time of his life, and that theres alot of surprises. We are going to get more Luke than we are being led to believe. We’re getting atleast 10 minutes of screentime.
this is star wars, I doubt the writer of episode 5 who was stressing out over making this script will take the easy route and do something cheap and throw a mcguffin in there
Do you actually know what a mcguffin is? We already know that there is at least one mcguffin, Luke’s lightsaber.
luke’s lightsaber was sa weapon not a mcguffin
His lightsaber in TFA is used to drive the plot. This is called a mcguffin.
“We’re getting atleast 10 minutes of screen time.” I don’t wether to laugh or cry
I don’t think the movie ends that way either, but even if the baddies win, it could possibly end that way. Good guys have lost, so they go to Luke for help. And “Luke at a different time of his life” might mean he is now an old hermit like Obi-Wan, rather than the young, heroic jedi of the OT.
But I really hope you’re right, and that we get more Luke than we are led to believe 🙂
The “chick” has a name. Rey.
Rey only appears to use the staff in the beginning of the film, on the desert world of Jakku. After that it appears she uses a variety of weapons.
And if you don’t think she’ll become a Jedi, you’re deluding yourself. While Finn is using the lightsaber on Takodana, Rey is being captured in the woods by Kylo Ren. Did you ever wonder why Kylo is so interested in her? It seems unlikely he’d chase some random “chick” into the woods if she were unimportant. #logic
So where is her lightsaber then?
I don’t need to see a clip of Luke to know he’s in the movie. And I don’t need to see a clip of Rey with a light saber to know she’ll wield one. Lucasfilm is spoon feeding us these clips. They want to keep some surprises for the movie.
eh?
One last thing. If I buy a ticket to watch this film after the horrendous prequels, based purely on seeing a black jedi (childish reason, i know, sue me) and he turns out not to be a jedi or jedi in training…do i get a refund?
You’ll have to Force them into it for pulling that Sith on you. =D
Lupita’s voice sounds so noble in tv clips, but Maz looks, for lack of a better word, funny.
LOL.
Anyone say Yoda. From what I can see from that clip/screenshot, she has quite big googly eyes you can see through those goggles. I think she will be a quirky & funny, but ultimately wise character, much like Yoda. I don’t mind this. This is Star Wars and we are always going to need weird aliens.
I’m not sure about quirky and funny though. She sounds quite stern, and even a bit haughty. I remember someone saying that in the Japanese trailer, when she says “Who are you?”, the Japanese subtitles implied the question was asked in quite a rude manner.
Translations, dubbing and subtitles can be deceiving though (not to say “a total damn mess”): in Italy, when Luke asks Obi-Wan about the clone wars in ANH, he actually says “la guerra dei quoti” (which I don’t even know how to translate back in english, because “the quote wars” doesn’t even begin to grasp how bad that translation really is).
That said, I can see how Lupita’s voice can fit Maz Kanata’s appearance – more or less the same way Frank Oz’s voice perfectly fits a big-eared frog-like creature 😉
The voice doesn’t fit the character
I just went back and googled early concept art for her character where she looked more wise and majestic, I think they should have stuck with those designs.
so Maz Kanata is Hans Moleman from the Simpsons ?
first of all, everyone here needs to realize that NONE of the new actors are actual JEDI yet. they may potentially be force sensitive, but nothing that we know so far indicates that they’re full fledged jedi. so anyone trying to argue that finn or rey or poe or whomever is a jedi is wasting their time.. you might as well be arguing that leia is a jedi because she too is force sensitive.. my goodness.
I too agree with this statement, i just like to try to predict these things and if i get them right i get feel a sad sense of Self-Furfillment!
(Also you need some of those Medi-Chlorians to pick as sweet a hangout as that At-At!)
You shouldn’t need the Force or Midi’s to see how cool living in a At-At would be…
The only known Jedi is Luke. I’m pretty sure they’ve been hitting us over the head with this. Rey and Finn are both force sensitive in my opinion.
agreed. i’m really hoping they both are.. but it seems like there has been a severe amount of misdirection. just based on interviews with the cast and JJ, there are some HUGE secrets that none of us are aware of yet.. everyone is acting so sly. mark hamill himself said there are some ESB-level secrets in this film.. so we’ll see what happens!
I didn’t even see Maz…or that shot that’s shown above of her and finn?
About 16 seconds into the first video.
Ah, seen it now. Damn. Wonder what happened…Maz presented Finn with the saber and he’s turning it on for the first time?
It sure looks that way. Like she might be instructing him on how to use it. Interesting.
Finn’s form looks like form 1 or even Ani’s form low jabs toward’s the legs(which one is it)
She looks like a sunburnt Yoda
I swear I feel like I now know 70% of the movie and seen 50% of it’s most epic highlights. It’s all 100% my fault… I just hope we have a lot more moments in store for us.
One thing I would have liked to have kept secret? The Stormie versus Finn. That’s awesome… and would have been a cool surprise. That said… this looks so damned rewatchable… like literally the credits roll and I’ll want to see it again.
The first time I watch I’ll be too blinded by happiness to notice every little thing. It’s gonna need atleast two or three views to soak it all in .
I’m not sure how much they’ve actually shown. An article this week said they created over 100 creatures for this film and we’ve only seen a fraction of those, especially in the clips. I think that applies to every aspect of this film. We’ve only seen a fraction of it.
I’m in the camp that believes that they’re only showing the first portion of the movie in the trailers and clips. I’m telling you guys there’s way more to the movie than what we’ve seen.
We’ve seen a lot of bits, but we actually know very little about the story (and that’s the important part). Look at how much debate there is over Rey, Kylo and Luke, to name just three things. Snoke remains a total mystery; we don’t even know the real status of the Han & Leia relationship. I don’t think we’ve seen the best parts, not even close. For starters, we’ve yet to be shown a real lightsaber fight. 🙂
As far as the Stormtrooper is concerned … I’m not put off by that, either. He’s canon fodder, and while it’s a good scene, he’s not going to be important part of the flick. If anything, showing that anti-lightsaber weapons are more common only helps raise the dramatic stakes.
So relax, my man. You’re totally right that this is looks great so far.
That’s a great point.
It is funny because we could have seen 4 or 5 minutes of footage all together, and that is 2-3%, but you are right it is like we know many things of the plot 3 months we were just guessing. I think all this late info is also to people that doesnt know anything about the movie, to atract them, because they know people in forums like us, we are going to watch the movie sure, and if it is a good movie we will watch it more than once.
I haven’t watched or read anything since the last full length trailer,i’ve ruined the surprise element of so many movies over the years watching and reading every little nugget that surfaces……this time I’m determined not to, its hard but so far so good
“In star wars the good are called the jedi.”
No one calling out how stupid that statement was?
Star Wars for dummies, Man. Star Wars for dummies.
Well, it was a clip that aired on the Disney Channel, so I think they simplified things for the kids.
thats pretty much like “emperor deceived clones to rebel against their jedi mastres” statement from like 2 months ago. it becomes really apparent that Disney/Lucasfilm sans Lucas Star Wars is plainly SW for dummies.
Rey = will become a Jedi and the apprentice of Luke Skywalker, Anakin/Luke’s lightsaber is for her at the end of the movie because she’s the main Jedi character.
Finn = will become a Jedi and the apprentice of Maz Kanata, he will build his own lightsaber in Episode 8 with the help of Maz Kanata.
I tend to think that Finn will keep the classic saber, if only because it’s been so connected to him in everything to this point, but we’ll see.
Personally, I’d like Rey to end up with a double-bladed saber. It fits the style she has with the staff, and it would be awesome to see a Jedi using one for a change. I might be biased,though; my character in Old Republic was a Jedi Shadow Tank, lol.
I’m on the double-bladed saber camp too, i think with her style of fighting and her athleticism, makes sense for her to have a Darth Maul style of fighting, also if Snoke is really tall as Andy Serkis claimed she will need to be acrobatic to fight him.
and Finn could fight him to why you rule the black guy Mace fought the main bad guy and won(EVEN THOUGH ITS DEBATEABLE)
Why does everyone think Rey is the MAIN CHARACTER. From everything that is leaked in the movie I think Finn gets just as much screentime. Honestly I think this trilogy will be more of a two hander like the last two prequels with Obi Wan and Anakin getting just about equal screen time. And technically Obi Wan was the hero of the prequel trilogy.
Because she is a Skywalker. Simple as that.
Who’s the female pilot?
Jessika Pava (Jessica Henwick)
Any pics in costume too?
Not (yet) to my knowledge. There is an artist impressions (b&w) with the same helmet though (Couple of scrolls up).
Her name wan’t familar but I recognizied her face from the casting call. She doesn’t look very Asian in that pic either but it might have been drawn before she was cast. Will be nice to see a female pilot in Star Wars onscreen who isn’t middle aged for once.
Maz Kanata, phone home
Makes sense, when you think about it…

I knew he had a fearful power in those eyes!

LEIA IS FLYING A FUCKING X-wing !!!!!!!!!!!!! How has no one else seen this
Thats Jessica Henwick playing Jessika Pava.
Same helmet.
Oh terrible footage got me over excited
That would have been awesome though
After reading over a lot of these back and forth comments about who the next Jedi will be and observing how it seems to be impressing upon the commenter’s preconceived notion of what the film will be, a certain unyielding expectation of what he or she wants to see on the screen, and if that preconceived notion doesn’t play out on screen then the viewer’s enjoyment is soured. Instead I’m going to take Yoda’s advise and clear my mind and go into the theater without any notions of what I want to happen. I’m just going to let the story unfold before me like some sort of weird tale from a galaxy far, far away
DITTO – and if I could give you 10 UP votes on your comment, I would.
Why can’t both Rey and Finn be Jedi ? I don’t see why so many posters assume there can be only one Jedi master and one apprentice. The Jedi are not Sith !
Yeah absolutely. I mean the galaxy has exactly ONE when the movie begins, and he’s hanging out in a cave talking to the jedi tree stroking his enlightened beard. So, yes, two new jedis please!
“unlearn what you have learned”
Hail Yoda!
is there any chance that Han & Chewie are actually with Lea at the rebel ( sorry resistance) base when they first meet Rey and Finn and see the Falcon for the first time ? I know spy reports say they meet up earlier and steal the Falcon from pirates but what if Rey and Finn steal the falcon from pirates and fly from Jakku straight to the rebel base with coordinates given by BB8.
Apparently they first go to Maz Kanata’s castle before hey are rescued by the Resistance (following the First Order attack) and taken to the Resistance base. Rey is captured though by Kylo Ren and taken to the Starkiller base.
What I don’t understand is why Han suugests they go see Maz in the first place instead of reuniting with the Resistance right away.
Apparently they first go to Yoda (sorry Maz Kanata)’s hut (sorry castle) before they are rescued by the Rebels (sorry Resistance) following the Empire (sorry First Order) attack and taken to the Rebels (sorry Resistance) base. Luke (sorry Rey) is captured though by Vader (sorry Kylo Ren) and taken to the Death Star (sorry Starkiller) base.
Fixed.
wow what kind of 1990’s flip phone were these recorded on? a friggin Obama phone can take better video than that.
Was Nien Nunb in an X-wing? It looked like one from the way it was cut but i couldn’t make out the cockpit. I thought he always flew a B-Wing like Ten Numb but I could be wrong or he could just being flyign a different ship
Who says he can’t fly more than one kind of ship?
Rey tells BB-8 to hold on. LOL. He’s a soccer droid with no limbs. How would that be possible? Now comes the prequel-esque comedy; BB-8 rolls from floor to ceiling to floor of the Falcon. Just when the movie starts going in the right direction, useless, forced funny business. I can’t stand this pathetic droid as it is and now wasted film with it.
Then please just dont see it … Its that simple … But comparing it to the prequel “comedy” bb8 would have to be rolling around in peeuussa poop too be fair
He’s not Jar Jar, most seem to love BB-8. “Hold on” is a figure of speech.
The little ball droid may be no Jar Jar, but he’s certainly NO Artoo either.
Nobody said he was, apples to oranges.
Well, I did compare a couple of characters that happen to be the same EXACT thing: astromech droids carrying sensitive info in their memory banks that may decide the fate of the entire galaxy. But you may be right. BB-8 and Jar Jar Binks may have much more in common than BB-8 and Artoo when it’s all said and done. In fact, I’m sure this will be the case.
You can be as sure as you want to be.
BB8 is not close to Jar-Jar Binks.
No, the little rolling soccer ball is not close to Binks; it could be better or worse. But it’s already an annoying little thing, nonetheless. Why, BB-8 even looks like a Mickey Mouse head missing an ear. Since Lucas put Goofy in SW already (Binks), the only way for Abrams to top him was to put Disney’s iconic mouse in TFA, lol.
How is it possible for BB-8 to hold on? He’s got retractable limbs, like Artoo. And some other hidden devices.
I thought people knew that, i mean, at LEAST from the Verizon commercial. if not, then by the fact that he is a star wars droid. his function isn’t to be a cute ball, he has to do stuff lol.
So if the commercials are true to the plot then Rey is indeed a force user and uses Force Push.
the first pic looks like 3DMG(from attack on titan)
But you’re still gonna see it. Now stop complaining and get over yourself.
True, but am I now sneaking over to the door for a quicker escape?
Remember when R2 helps switch the hyperdrive back on and goes shooting across the floor and into a hole in the ground (where Han had previously been trying to fix something)…? That kind of silly comedy was evident in Star Wars in the OT, now cheer up :p We’ve not seen a floppy eared idiot with questionably racist sounding dialogue yet so I think we’re good!
Remeber Chewie and the Mouse droid in the first Death Star? Same vein. Some people seem to forget that. They need to remove the stiff up their back.
Same vein, but much more subdued. BB8 rolling all over the place is taking it up a notch, no?
Everything we’ve seen so far is apparently just from the first act. I don’t really believe that, but Harloff and Campea really seem to think that is true. Any thoughts? I personally think what we’ve seen is from the first hour-hour 15 of the film.
We’ve seen scenes from the Resistance attack on the Starkiller base and Finn’s showdown with Kylo Ren in the snowy forest. Both take place towards the end of the movie. W’ve also seen the Falcon leaving the Starkiller base as the base appears to be exploding.
I guess we now have a pretty good idea the plot outline from the beginning to the end of the movie, but there are many details to be filled, especially what role Snoke and Luke play, thev status of Haan/Leia relationship, what Maz Kanata tells Finn and Rey, and who is related to whom.
It appears that the time spent on Jakku IS the first act, so any shots we’ve seen outside that desert planet would be from the other parts of the film.
The gang talking to Maz Kanata and going to the resistance base will be a scene in the middle of the movie…the attack on starkiller base (snowy dog fight) will be towards the end along with the lightsaber fight between finn and kylo. So no, the movie talk boys are wrong.
I know they’re wrong. I’m just saying I think most of what we’ve seen is the first hour or so of the film. Of course the Kylo/Finn scene will be towards the end, as well as the attack on the castle
Yep. All together, including the duplicate scenes, we’ve seen about 6 minutes of the 2 hour and 15 minute film. So basically we haven’t seen much!
Yeah people have to realize we only saw a few minutes of the film lol… all these shots we’re getting are from scenes of the first act. thats all they’ve shown.
Not true. The scenes from Jakku are from the first act.
first act can be set on more than one planet
Yes, it can; it clearly is not in this film.
See how the first toy wave is all Jakku.
Yeah I’d say we’ve seen at least the first half of the film and something is telling me that conflict in the snowy forest is part of the third act.
Jakku attack and escape
Freighter battle with Kanjiklub gang
Meeting Maz on Takodana
Battle of Takodana
Resistance attack on Starkiller base
Tracking down Luke on the temple island
Kanjiklub. Worst Star Wars name ever. By far.
Via Enlgish T.V. screens
All right! a female fighter pilot!
The Phantom Menace already did that
But now it’s canon!
Nah dude I’m afraid that means it already is canon. You see this guy called George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, you might know it, directed three films called The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith which means they officially make up about half of the current Star Wars canon; and no amount of ear covering or heads dug in sand will ever cover that fact. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/43143ce3d1b5ed55f3abf41b8c9c711ac09c59fafab81a16db66d24a7ea23b95.jpg
SHHHHHHH!!!! Those films never happened…
In response I will just once again refer you to the picture above bro ;D
Lol, and no amount of memes can make me consider those three attempts as canon Star Wars material. But I have more than enough love for the original trilogy to keep me enthusiastic, thanks.
Doesn’t matter, it’s still canon. Like it or not.
Disney’s Star Wars are not canon. To me.
She looked pretty old though. I’ve always wanted to see one in their prime like in the books/comics.
Return of the Jedi already did that
Yeah but they were mostly all cut from the film and the one that made it in was dubbed over with a man’s voice (I just checked) so it doesn’t count. Although I’m really glad I have an explanation for that boner now.
hey, I’m not picky about timing or firstage, just the fact that they’re here is enough for me.
from that still, anyway, Maz looks just as real as Nien Nunb.
I enjoy her appearance, much like a Sweet Tangelo filled with wisdom and juice. The Star Wars saga hasn’t seen a fruit-based species since Ben “Edible Arrangements” Quadinaros.
i really wanna see some more resistance starfighters. B wings, Y wings, A wings…all we seen so far is that Lego pic of the new B wing. and wouldnt the first order use Tie Bombers on Maz castle ?
Whoa… are those EWOKS i hear in the first 2 seconds of this trailer? Hmmm
I know the sounds youre talking about, as bb8 is rolling down the trail, but I honestly never thought of them as sounds being made by the ewoks themselves, instead just the endor wildlife in general
Hopefully not.
Poe leads Red and Blue squadrons, and possibly more, which means he’s high in the ranks.
Besides a few more new scenes, we got to hear some new sounds, i.e. forest creatures, BB8 surprise squeal, and Poe dialog. And Nien dialog too.
Im gonna cry if Nien Nunb dies.
BB8 doesn’t need to hold on, she just rolls with it.
*grooooooooooan*
LOL! Yeah,he does. He’s a fun little droid. Hope these spots will be released officially as well,in HD.
Did they just sample Nein numb fron Rotj?
He’s a man of few mumbles.
How many roars/growls does to Chewie have, come to think about it.
wasn’t Nien Numb speaking an actual language, like a real life language – i think from Africa,
anyways, that ain’t mumbling, he speaks words in sentences.
The final film voice may be different than this promo.
They used an African international student to do the voice back in 1983. I think Ben Burtt would use something other than the exact same audio from Jedi. Maybe they were still recording ADR when the promos were put together.
The ambience of Takodana sounds like it was from Endor too. Probably a last second thing seeing as how the mix wasn’t finished yet.
I would like to REQUEST that you re-post that Maz Kanata video. THIS. I COMMAND!
Why would Disney ask you to remove the video? It’s free advertising for them, and pretty much everyone visiting this site is going to see the movie anyway… seems strange.
If Nien Nunb dies, we riot.
The ambience of Takodana sounds suspiciously like Endor. Then again they probably threw that in last second seeing as how its a TV spot and the final mix wasn’t done till it was made.
Finn IS A JEDI
He is not, he is an ex-Stromtrooper. Now, if he is a Stormtrooper AND a Jedi-wannabe then this movie is shiet.
Couldn’t they both end up as Jedis? I say end up as they’ll need training to be a Jedi.
why did Nien Nunb sayd Ki-Ad-Mundi
No he said “Adi-Gallia”!
WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE FINN!
Because his look-and-feels-and-role simply doesn´t match Star Wars. This is my point of view.
Your point of view doesn’t match Star Wars
….
Do I sense thinly-veiled racism in you?
RACIST racist RACIST racist RACIST racist RACIST racist RACIST racist RACIST racist

The removed a video that they put on television? WFT?
BB8 hold on!!
