The Force Awakens

[El Presidente]

I think on the whole I like it, but a couple things stick out as not really "fitting".

The Lightsaber with the cross blades and the weird roller astromech droid.

Other than that, I can't wait!

the weird roller astromech droid.

I thought that was a small droid riding a soccer ball at first

Special effects look great

 

[bjacks12]

Looks great visually. A lot more real and tangible than the prequels.

Don't care for the weird lightsaber. The voice over was cheesy as hell too.

 

[Italo]

The bit with the X-wings flying over the water looks bad ass. The light saber hilt is definitely gimmicky. I can't think of how someone would use that to their advantage.

 

[NightAngel79]

It was epic... I've watched it to many times to count... Can't wait for more trailers

 

[El Presidente]

^^I knew you would've.

 

[NightAngel79]

^^I knew you would've.

I just watched a couple times on the XboxOne so I could see it super-sized.

I'm still in shock it's really happening. It was just talk till I saw footage, like it wasn't real yet. Now.... It's gonna be a long year. Can't wait for more trailers

 

[0utSid3r]

Great visuals but all I think when I watch it is what a joke,

 

[bjacks12]

While it wouldn't be great writing, part of me wishes they would bring back Windu(hey, he could have survived that fall), give him a jheri curl and give the movie an R-Rating. I would see that movie a dozen times.

 

[El Presidente]

The more I watch, the more I'm willing to overlook anything negative I see.

I can not wait.

So.. .there are now 4 Star wars films?

(or is this another fan-fiction production like the phantom menace? )

Fan fiction?



Agree EP, I'll give benefit of doubt.

Though I didn't see anything negative. Haters gonna hate

 

[El Presidente]

Here's a better version of the trailer

 

[NightAngel79]

Next trailer premiering with release of Avengers 2. I'd go just for that!

 

[Gmash]

Disney is going to run Star Wars into the ground. SW is supposed to be an event, not a movie every year. Almost have to be better than the prequels, though.

 

[NightAngel79]

I trust Disney personally...

 

[psionandy]

I trust Disney personally...

I certainly expect them to give me a good night out at the cinema, and I'm expecting to have a great time.

In fact, based on the way that 1, 2 and 3 turned out I'd more likely to trust Disney to do it, than Uncle George any day of the week.

 

[bjacks12]

Look no further than the Marvel Cinematic Universe to see how good these movies can be under Disney.

 

[Italo]

I'm open to the idea that some of the Jedi might be experimenting with different design ideas. Remember that weirdo double-ended one Darth Maul used to good effect?

I thought Darth Maul's double saber was awesome when I saw episode 1 in theaters. It's used to good effect because the fights are choreographed. In reality your reach would be a lot shorter than someone with a sword, which would be a big disadvantage.

Having a hilt would be handy. I think the debate was whether the beam started at the main blade, or at the end of the little hilt piece which could be cut through.

[Gmash]

I trust Disney to make a sh!tload of money by pandering to the lowest common denominator with plenty of explosions and quick-cut indecipherable fight scenes, plot and character development be danmed. If one villain is good, three or four must be better. At this point I don't care if I ever see another superhero movie again. I'll give Star Wars a chance, the trailer is interesting and I did like Star Trek, but a new Star Wars every year is a bit much.

 

[Italo]

I'm expecting the something very similar to the Star Trek movies. Since J.J. Abrams is a Star Wars fan, I'm hoping he'll try to match the tone of the original trilogy. We still don't know much about the side movies.

 

[bjacks12]

I don't think that they're going to get crazy with the explosions and indecipherable fight scenes(I'm guessing you're thinking Transformer style? If so, I agree that those are annoying to watch). Those are usually the territory of CGI junkies. JJ is moving to more practical effects, and with that, I think the screen will be a little less busy.

 

[Gmash]

Yeah, I'm with you guys on that. Abrams wouldn't have been my first choice, but I think this first one will probably be a good movie. My concern is more long term, will a movie every year, plus TV, cartoons, games, etc lead to overexposure. I'd hate to see Star Wars get to the point of eye rolling, "great, more Star Wars". yawn
