I guess I'm sort of glad it's fake. it'll keep the mystery for a little longer. I was wondering why it had Darth Vader's breathing at the end, and the emperor's cackle. there were enough elements like the Hamill shot and the Ford dialogue that I was fooled though.

I think Han's "war horse" line is taken from Anchorman 2.

Tomorrow is the day and it kind of hit me today what a huge thing that trailer will be. It's a first glimps of a new Star Wars movie dammit!!!!!! Fuck i'm excited!!!!

adace · « **Reply #2382 on:** November 28, 2014, 03:54:05 AM »

Excited as hell for the sequel trilogy. The prequels were good and I enjoyed them a lot, but I'm far more interested in what happens after Episode VI. Can't wait for the trailer!

Looks good. The tone is right. Nothing too much in there that spoils it or makes me worry. It's a trailer for old fans really, I think. They wanted this to be reassuring.

Yea I agree. Even though i've heard it a million times hearing the main theme just made me all giddy inside!

It bugged me how the camera was sideways as it was coming to the ground, but the MF itself looked gorgeous. It all looked very film-y in colour grading. I liked it.

Sort of. I can definitely see how it'd be reassuring the old fans, as it definitely feels like classic Star Wars, but what impressed me was how the trailer didn't actually include any of the heroes of the OT, save for the Falcon at the end. We got a few shots of several of the new characters instead, which I think indicates how confident J.J. and Co. are about the main cast of this new trilogy.

It was too brief to really read too much into it, but I think they're holding off on showing the original characters for a trailer close to the release date. They'll probably want to keep everything about their roles secret as long as possible, and they've still got their biggest drawcard for the next trailer, rather than blowing their load all at one.

Was cool seeing the Millenium Falcon but it tingled a bit more seeing the X-Wings if I may say so myself.

Edit: On second thought, it was awesome seeing the MF and equally awesome seeing the X-Wings man i'm pumped!!

PuffyPat · « **Reply #2392 on:** November 28, 2014, 09:08:48 AM »

That light saber was p cool. One of the things I always brought up was that there was no defense for the hand holding the saber, and now they've got it. It's just common sense really.

It might make it more dangerous for the person holding it though, since you could probably rotate your wrist wrong and slice your own hand off. Same could be said for the double ended saber though. I like the idea of someone being good enough with a saber to have something even a bit more dangerous.

nicmos · « **Reply #2394 on:** November 28, 2014, 09:16:10 AM »

I think it's the TIE fighters that make it seem more like Star Wars than anything else. That screaming noise they make is what gives me chills in the trailer.

Maybe they've got A ROBOT HAND ALREADY...

I thought that same thing

Cool preview though. I wasn't expecting to see any of the original cast and even joked to my brothers yesterday that there'd be a light saber and millineum falcon flying.

You can't expect too much at this point....but that was cool enough for now.

Let the year long anticipation boner begin!!!!!!

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2404 on:** November 28, 2014, 10:11:50 AM »

I guessed the first shot would be Tattoine.

It opens on a desert so it could well be.

But I wasn't far off.

Great teaser. I might actually go see it.

Cool Chris · « **Reply #2405 on:** November 28, 2014, 10:32:02 AM »

Looks like Star Wars, sounds like Star Wars. Wonder if it will feel like Star Wars.

BlackInk · « **Reply #2406 on:** November 28, 2014, 10:41:18 AM »

I liked the trailer I guess. But that first shot of the guy popping into the screen made me think I was watching a comedy-parody-ish thing. And that light sabre looked a bit goofy, didn't love that. It would have a shot beyond bad-ass would it only have been a normal one.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #2407 on:** November 28, 2014, 10:50:45 AM »

The trailer was fine, but I'm not losing my shit over it or anything though.

Agreed. To me it felt kind of gimmicky, like they wanted to do something different just for the sake of doing something different, but what evs. If the movie is badass, then I'll forget about the nitpicking real fast.

Now begins a year of anticipation

TioJorge · « **Reply #2408 on:** November 28, 2014, 11:10:15 AM »

It was cool. Not enough footage to know whether it's by-the-numbers sci-fi or not.

But I'm excited to see more. I'm wondering what the point is of that flaming hilt though... Looks kinda weird. If that's the new norm of sabers then...eh.

nicmos · « **Reply #2409 on:** November 28, 2014, 11:49:30 AM »

don't know if anyone noticed, the guy who posted the trailer on Reddit (not saying he was the first on the internet, but anyway on Reddit where a lot of people find their stuff) has a username of ZiltoidZTO. That's not anyone here, is it?

Sub Luna Vitrea · « **Reply #2410 on:** November 28, 2014, 11:49:54 AM »

Am I the only one who thought it looked incredibly fake? Almost like a video game.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #2411 on:** November 28, 2014, 11:51:40 AM »

I wonder if older fans are more excited about this than younger fans?

jammindude · « **Reply #2412 on:** November 28, 2014, 12:02:46 PM »

Not aimed at anyone here in particular...it's all over Facebook and various sci-fi sites as well...but I'm getting really sick of the "hyper-critical" attitude people have towards just about anything. There will be a single flippantly positive sentence ("I thought it was cool...but...") followed by a small paragraph (or several) about everything that was wrong with it or how lame something was, or what they should have done.

Makes me feel even more confident about my decision to make The Jammin Dude Show all about the cool stuff, and to just not even bring up the negative.

(of course, the irony of criticizing the critical is not lost on me....and is even partially intentional for the sake of the humor of it all.

)

It's all good people.

It didn't look any worse than most new CGI-heavy movies these days. The worst part about the trailer (aside from that stupid-looking lightsaber...) was that it's just a collection of images with seemingly no purpose other than to tell us 'Hey, it's STAR WARS!' No indication of plot or characters. Very much a teaser, but at this point, that's about all we should expect.

Other than that, I thought it was good. Better than the Jurassic World trailer/teaser at least.
