What if bendydick cumberlatch is GA Thrawn though For as long as the EU has existed everyone involved in the films has said that the novels do not and never will effect the plot of the films. I doubt this will change, especially considering that Disney basically wiped out the canon status of the entire EU. So no, it will not have Thrawn or the yuuzhan vong or the starcrusher or any of the other nonsense that came from the EU.

The only thing that bothers me about the lightsaber is that the extra two pop on a second after the main blade, as if to say "Oh, you've seen a lightsaber before? Been done? Well I bet you've never seen one... LIKE THIS  "I also hate that there's so little interesting or new in the teaser that people are talking about a hilt

Caros posted:Except that a lightsaber has an all around edge, will instantly cut through anything and will thus rip cleanly through the two inches of metal.  OR: like I thought originally, it's not supposed to be a functioning crossguard. It's gonna be used for a cool stabbing scene or it's a cool venting bit. Or it's just supposed to look intimidating and scary. Either way I don't see how they'd put it on there and not do something with it because the people making the movie probably aren't idiots. edit: I hate myself for putting in the three minutes it took to make that in photoshop Hazo fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Nov 29, 2014 |

Yeah, and I think this is a bad sign. I want the Bad Robot team to be as inventive as LucasFilm were, but their main occupation is probably just going to be re-filming the established iconography in a way that won't upset the fans.

Here's something to discuss: The fantastic composition of that first shot. Slow fade-in, long linger on a desert wasteland, while this kinda dopey old voice drones on about an "Awakening" and HOLY poo poo ITS JOHN BOYEGA, and he's in stormtrooper armor and sweaty and panicked and looking around and is that a probe droid we hear, holy poo poo.  It does a very good job of setting up audience expectations and then just subverting the hell out of them, all in the space of a few seconds.

Official Star Wars canon is pretty restrained when it comes to introducing new weapons and technology, so things like the crossguard lightsaber actually seems novel unlike in the EU where every real melee weapon has a lightsaber counterpart. The Clone Wars lasted six seasons and it only introduced one special lightsaber variant (the black lightsaber that resembles a blade). Two if you count that one old Jedi who hides his saber in his cane. The same thing with the Death Star. In the movies, it's something new and scary and when the Rebels found out the Empire is making another one it actually seemed serious. In the EU there's a superweapon in every other story.

Re: claysaber; in the books when two light saber blades met they locked together because *sciency explanation involving positive and negative states of plasma or whatever*, which is why they had to pull them apart and you couldn't rub to lightsabers together like a boys out trying to light a fire with two sticks. ANYWAYS the plasma ports make more sense than hilt guards but either way cortosis weave in the top part of the laser sword would protect the thing from getting owned and if the design of the clayber is supposed to be super old then it probably was super good against those cortosis weave vibroswords from KOTOR, which could slide up and down on a laser sword blade

I have a gut feeling that after this movie, fans will be begging Lucas to return. This trailer was an incoherent mess. As flattered as I am the first character we get to see is a black man like me, who the hell is he and what does he do? He is established like "whoa that storm trooper is black and not white or Samoan. X wings over water, Falcon over dessert, no space chases and dubious Lightsaber effects equal a dull and disjointed teaser once the nostalgia wears off.

Isn't that what a teaser is though, a bunch of disjointed things that look cool to make you want to know what the hell is going on? Teasers are by their very nature incoherent, they're not theatricals, that's a whole different style of trailer.

I don't think that a black Stormtrooper is played up to be a surprise or whatever you're talking about, he is the first thing in the trailer because he's the main character. Also the trailer is made up of a bunch of seemingly unconnected bits because it's very early so they aren't going to have many visual effects ready and it's a teaser not a full trailer so they aren't going to put in any extended sequences of explanations of the plot yet. I think that the trailer does a good job of showing that they've got the Star Wars aesthetic and feel down which is the most it was really going to do.

Maybe it will suck, that's the truth for alot of Star Wars movies already. In my mind only the original Star Wars and Empire are truly good movies, Jedi has a few cool things in it, but is alot of crap otherwise, and we tolerate it because its Star Wars, the prequels are almost entirely poo poo. Fans (hopefully!) won't be begging for Lucas to return if this movie is poo poo, but they will whine, but they will also see the movie and they will likely watch it, just as they have done with the prequels, and Disney will make a crapload of money and make a new one, its Star Wars. I think that JJ Abrams and the people making this movie have it in them to make a good Star Wars movie, but then again it might be poo poo. Perhaps most horrifyingly it might end up a well executed but totally bland action movie with some Star Wars references in it. e: I also hope they manage to keep it at a nice roughly 2 hour length, because I don't look forward to a 3 1/2 hour long Star Wars movie, much less one like the worst case possibility I mentioned.

The teaser isn't incoherent at all. It's a checklist of the most familiar and fetishized Star Wars signifiers: -Droid -Light Saber -Storm Trooper -X-Wing -Millennium Falcon -The Force -Dark Side -Light Side And the two main characters are introduced running around, looking like underdogs. That's it.
