New Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV Spot With One New Scene!
A new TV spot aired on Sports Center, sponsored by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There’s only one new scene in the spot, but it’s really cool…
Mild Spoilers!
The planet that briefly appears is probably D’Qar. Recently Empire officially revealed that this is the planet where the Resistance base is located. And from the spot it looks like the Falcon and the X-Wings are returning to it. It could also be Takodana, but from all the trailers and spots we’ve seen so far, we can conclude that the Falcon is already on Takodana when the X-Wings come to Maz Kanata’s place to the rescue.

i like turtles!
Doomsday does look like a turtle.
I thought that shot was already in one of the TV Spots or behind the scenes videos.
Nope.
Just 2 more weeks and then its… Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars, nothing but
Star Wars, Ta Da Ta da. ( Come on, sing it with me! I know you all want too. ) = )
There’s a ship below the falcon that looks like the one Ren looks at taking off from Jakku…
There’s a ship below the falcon that looks like the one Rey looks at taking off from Jakku…
It might be a Troop Transport.
Waaay to much football. Star Wars is ruined! 😛
Skip to 1:12. Trust me, you’ll thank me.
Wish I read the comment before watching the video. LOL
After dozens of great shots, those asteroids look terrible. Can that be said?
Why? I just think they’re a different kind of asteroid ring than we’ve seen before. Why should all the asteroid belts look exactly the same in SW?
I do think the asteroids in Empire looked much better. Look, in the Rey’s featurette they shown
a creature that was mix real and CG (talking with Finn in a table), and it looked so
right! I’m not a CG hater, but this asteroids look terrible, sorry, they look out of a videogame.
I wanna see them in a better clip, more high res without the border thing.
def- there is a right way and a wrong way to use Green screen and CGI- the obvious wrong way is that classic over the shoulder/ back shot where everything else is comped in- usually used as an establishing shot- its probably the laziest CG sin in movies over the past 20 years- and oddly enough its one that GL didn’t really fall prey to in the prequels outside of that 2001 homage near the end of ROTS and even that used CGI characters for the over the shoulder so it wasn’t as bad and it was a much wider shot- that being said its still not a great shot. Godzilla 2014 did this terribly. Alien Vs Predator had an predator home world establishing shot that did this, Chronicles of Riddick had this- It would be interesting to go through and find all these shots and create a video of them. Such a lazy way of storytelling.

godzilla 2014- littered with these garbage shots.

the asteroid belt in AotC was totally different from the one is ESB, it’s nice to see some variety here too
Maybe they should have snuck some potatoes and shoes in there to give it that OT authenticity. 🙂
They look fine to me. Maybe it’s the low-ish quality of the video.
This is the part of the hype train that makes me vomit. Where everybody wants a piece of the pie and start attaching Star Wars to completely unrelated things.
Sure Disney doesn’t care. The film has probably made its budget back and its not even out yet.
Disney owns ESPN. Just sayin……
Disney owns ESPN and will obviously promote it through ESPN. This was bound to happen. It’s the smart thing to do, they’re trying to make money, they don’t care if us Star Wars fans feel like it doesn’t belong. It’s theirs, and it’s being promoted through their avenues. I’m not sure why some of the others are bothered by it. I saw this coming 3 years ago.
I understand that they own things, but it just gets old when the shit is everywhere, and you get sick of it before you can enjoy it
Oh, quit your whining for a trivial set up for the commercial guys…
Watch 3,467 commercials and trailers you must, only then a Jedi will you be.
So… only 143 to go! *Turns TV on*
I feel like a Jedi Master alread lol.
I love Star Wars but holy hell, ease up with the advertisement, Tex. Not every single thing needs to be attached to Star Wars for marketing reasons.
God forbid people make money
It’s Star Wars, for goodness sake. The money is already guaranteed. What does football have to do with Star Wars? Does every sport needs to be attached to a Star Wars brand for its profitable gain?
Disney doesn’t need to sell this movie, they need to tell everyone about it. This is helping to do that.
It’s the most anticipated movie of the year and the most anticipated movie since Revenge of the Sith and probably has the most recognizable brand in the entertainment media that spawned movies, comic books, video games, toys, novels, mobile games, etc.. The movie broke the movie ticket pre-order record and it’s not even out yet. I think people got the memo.
God forbid people be able to profit more than they already are.
It means that more people appreciate how important Star Wars is to the culture.
Star Wars is appreciated throughout the world. When the original movie came out at the time of the economic crisis in late 70’s, it was beloved by many in the whole globe. Do you need more recognition than that or do you want to leave the franchise dealing with greedy corporate handling. God forbid if I don’t want my beloved franchise to be stained by corporate decisions.
Too late.
Ewoks. The Holiday Special. Disney bought it.
I don’t mind the Ewoks. Holiday Special was a mistake. I’m afraid it’ll get lot worse after the Disney license purchase especially after the prequels ended up the way they were. The Force Awakens might be good but I can’t guarantee the bright future for Star Wars after so many announced spin-off movies, comic books and games by EA. You thought Lucas was bad? Just you wait till Disney draws the line. You’ll never think the same about Star Wars again.
If anything was ever, EVER, going to change my mind about SW, it wouldn’t be that important to me. People can do what they want with it….create generic alien invasions, insectoid rebellions, silly droids, Jar Jar freaking Binks…but nothing touches my original love for Star Wars, and anything that opens up that world to others reflects how much it means, however different those meanings be, to so many people.
Remember that theyre trying to attract the casual viewers too. They already have the hardcore fans’ money that have been following SW news on the new movies since October 2012; now it’s about grabbing those who are just average moviegoers.
I agree. For those of us that visit sites like this, interact on forums, and cruise past the toy aisle when we’re shopping, a lot of these ads might seem like pointless overkill. But they’re not intended for us. We’re already filling seats and Lucasfilm/Disney knows that.
If I wasn’t visiting this site, I think I would have seen only 3-4 Star Wars commercials at this point.

I intercut Star Wars for everything I do as well. Cooking, drinking coffee, using the stapler… That way people know everything I’m doing is just as heroic as Star Wars.
Why were those fellows wearing helmets and armour to play rugby?
That’s American Handegg my space bound friend!
Ahh,well at least they have not butchered the noble game of cricket yet.
No but look what they did to Rounders
The bounders,if they ever touch British Bulldogs 123 I will campaign to dust off Empire.
the USA doesn’t like soccer either despite having a whole professional soccer organization with a bunch of teams LOL
Yes, there is a soccer league here. Some of them can almost sell out High School stadiums when they play there.
HAHAHAHA
Don’t be a hater just because you don’t like the sport. Go eat your crumpets and drink your tea, then go eat your fish and chips you condescending Englishman.
P.S. English royalty is a bunch of outdated crockpot. I’m glad we got our independence from you so that we don’t have to care about pointless monarchies.
Let me remind you that Queen Elizabeth II is still the queen of Canada and that Canadians are still Her Majesty’s loyal subjects. In fact, one cannot become a naturalized Canadian citizen without pledging allegiance to the Queen first !.
News flash mate, we don’t give a toss about the monarchy either.
I love it when Brits say mate.
Calm down.
Feel free to invent your own language at any time.. It’s been, what? 230 years, and you’re still speaking English…..
You act like YOU invented it or something, lol. Can’t we all just stop measuring di–I mean, um, stop being so weird and nationalistic and just join together in our love of Star Wars?
That’s a little short-sighted. English has Germanic origins. Modern English has only been widespread since the late 18th century.
My point was, the whole “I’m glad we got Independence over you evil British” statement is a little ironic, when you also consider the oppression of the Native American people on American soil. If we’re delving that far into history, then they’re no better than us evil British! It’s probably best not to make digs at people based on something that happened 240 years ago..
Exactly. I’d say that taxes aren’t nearly as bad a genocide…
At least we can go to school or college without fear of getting shot! 😛
Wish we in Scotland had joined the countries to have gained independence from Westminster rule. Next time.
For the record, I don’t think anybody in England really cares whether Scotland goes independent.. You act like it’s a big thing for us too!
“You act like it’s a big thing for us too!”
Do we aye?
Yeah whats up with that? Here in England we don’t need armor and weapons to play sports
To be a fair though, NFL players are a lot bigger than Rugby ones. Even if most of those muscles are chemically built. There’s a reason why most of them never live to collect social security.
Heh heh.
Same with all these MMA characters. After the beating Roussey took, I would be very surprised to see her among the living when she gets to be Carrie Fisher’s age.
No, you’re right – falling down and pretending to be hurt while pointing at opposition players doesn’t usually require armor of any kind. To be fair though, the most pointlessly violent impacts happen off the pitch, long after the match, and don’t generally involve the players.
Post-match ‘fan’ violence only limited to England and Scotland? Think you’ll find it’s a global by-product.
Football is so much better than American Football A.K.A. Rugby for pussies
cuz its not rugby
Ahh rugger eh?
Yeah. D’Qar. Resistence is assembling/rendezvousing on the planet after Takodana.
Folks at ESPN must be getting tired of all the SW plugs though lol
I don’t understand why Poe says “All teams” rather than “All squadrons”
I love it when hosts/analysts have to feign excitement like this. Not saying they don’t want to see the movie but it always seems apparent they are hamming it up and it makes me chuckle.
Is it just me or does it look like there are 2 Falcons?
The second ship is a Resistance troop transporter. We’ve seen it in Lego form: http://www.hellobricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/LEGO-Star-Wars-TFA-75140-Resistance-Troop-Transporter.jpg
I just watched it again… Realized it was one scene fading into the other.
What is the ship below the MF?
I originally thought it was, what’s probably by now, a very old Y-Wing? But now I’m thinking that maybe it’s that Resistance drop ship/transport that’s been “leaked” via the picture of the Lego set?
I was pretty certain for the first minute I was just watching a SW themed SC commercial and the spot was gone or mislabeled. Finally the footage surfaced. It was worth the wait. I managed to not read the spoiler details. Whatever the planet is, the one new scene is rather cool…
WHERE ARE THE B-WINGS AND A-WINGS we have seen the die-cast figures already in stores
They were both in Rebels. We do know there is an upgraded B-Wing in this film somewhere though. Haven’t heard anything about the A-Wing though.
That B-wing is more of a troop transport than a fighter though.
In the old EU, It was classified as a bomber/fighter hybrid. Now it looks like it can take on Star Destroyers single handedly.
Maybe, we’ll see.
I hope they a least make it faster. The old one would have been perfect if not for it’s lack of speed.
Hope we got an awesome successor game to Rogue Squadron/Leader for Rogue One. It’s been over a decade since we got one.
Ho-hum. It’s not like there hasn’t been a ringed planet in a Star Wars movie before…
I hated this since I had to see football clips. I seriously hate football.
(And if none of you start saying, “Let the hate flow through you,” I will be most disappointed.
Let the hate flow through you! Your anger makes you STRONGA!!
I love the NFL, can’t stand the joke that is college football. I know Disney owns both Star Wars and ESPN but really, linking Star Wars to cheesy college football is just lame. C’mon Disney, we are all going to see it, you have sold out most shows from opening night till New years.
This scene looks kinda cheap..
Like ur mom.
