I saw a car commercial on TV and it had Star Wars promo poo poo. In the ad, BB8 is riding shotgun in what looks like Poe's X-Wing. Is this a thing or just something cute for the ad?

Just to be kinky, someone decided that she needs a silver suit that looks like one of her shiny ships. edit: In that case, they were expecting her and Vader to eventually meet up. "Ani. Oh my G...

Natives on Jakku find Luke/Anakin's lightsaber. Kylo Ren also wants this but Poe gets there first. Before Mr. "I talk to my grandfather's burnt mask" intercepts Poe (and massacres the native village, the event that turns Finn from the First Order), Poe puts the lightsaber into BB8 and sends him off into the desert where Rey finds him.

This debate was raging in the other thread yesterday but wasn't really ideal to discuss at length due to spoilers: if the accepted plot synopsis is accurate this movie is so clearly a remake. edit: It's a remake that's a reboot. Danger fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Dec 7, 2015 |

Even with knowledge of the the spoilers I still don't see how anyone thinks this is a remake or a reboot. It's a sequel. A sequel with extremely similar themes and plot structure where the new young characters are almost surrogates for the old ones but still very clearly a sequel.

A sequel with extremely similar themes and plot structure where the new young characters are almost surrogates for the old ones but still very clearly a sequel. It's scemantics on the definition of the word. But it is a reboot of the franchise, in that we're literally "starting again." Google gives me: "reboot (verb): restart or revive (a process or sequence, especially a series of films or television programs); give fresh impetus to." This movie is 100% that to the Star Wars movie franchise, regardless of plot. It can be a sequel and a reboot.

As was Star Trek 09, with the destruction of Romulus, Spock Prime and his jellyfish ship, etc. That post-Nemesis event is basically responsible for the creation of the Reboot universe (and now I'm eerily reminded of comic storylines); it's not too much of a logical leap to regard it as a sequel.

Besides what we hear in this TV spot, they've been keeping the score under lock and key; it's rather impressive given that we're seeing all manner of things leaking at this point.

It is going to be so loving weird for some Star Wars movies to not have a John Williams soundtrack. Since Marvel is going to release them on a yearly basis he surely won't do them all.

Space magic. You might call it The Force. But yeah, it's the goofiest way to start a new Star Wars. The weird part is it seems like the first scene and the second scene take place literally decades apart, with this only becoming apparent when we get to a big flashback montage like 70% of the way into the film. Which, now that I think about it, is pretty much how JJ opened Star Trek, minus having to put a flashback late in the film to justify the opening scene.

That being said, I can't wait for Mark Mothersbaugh's Han Solo score.

Gonna be weird hearing a different composer on a Star Wars film (though we've kind of already gotten it with Joel McNeely and his surprisingly-listenable Shadows of the Empire score). Here's hoping that Desplat adopts at least the motif-based component of Williams's scores, because both Godzilla and the HP Deathly Hallows scores were pretty bleh from what I can remember.

The plan, barring any physical health issues, is for Williams to do the main trilogy of films. the rest will be in the hands of other composers.

Those are awesome pictures! We've seen BB8 for what, about a year now? He still doesn't work for me as a Star Wars droid. I wish I could explain better. Maybe it's because he's too "futuristic" for the Star Wars universe, lacking the mechanical/real world "clunk" of other droids we've seen. Maybe it's because he has an astromech droid head that is smaller than any other astromech we've seen. Based on what's been revealed about his role in the movie, R2-D2 would be better choice every time. I don't understad why I can't better articulate it. Of everything I've seen for VII, nothing comes close to saying to me "this was built a designed purely for merchandising".

Unlike R2, BB-8 could conceivably go down a flight of stairs without rockets, though.

His (largely practical) ball like nature is so goofy it's a perfect fit. I mean, he's obviously designed to be merchandised, but thats OK. This is a series where people buy the merchandise of stuff they think is cool. BB8 is cool, therefore BB8 is merchandisable. There's a chicken/egg argument as to which came first and I don't think it matters a drat.

apparently the sphere part of BB8 is also a storage compartment since Rey/Poe hide the blue lightsaber in it? to me it doesn't look big enough, but I haven't seen enough size comparison next to a person. the blue lightsaber floating through space thing is kinda dumb. I'm sure it will be downplayed and explained away by the Force, destiny, etc. so I dont care

The first trailer made him look real small, but it looks like he's actually knee-height and fairly large.
